Minor Update: class

[venusplz]

And come to think of it, I don't think I've posted my schedule for this week, so let's cover that first:

Mon 9/10: OFF, obviously, since I'm currently in the Schmeller Library. :::rolls eyes:::
Tue 9/11: 1:00-10:00
Wed 9/12: OFF. Happy New Year! ^_^
Thu 9/13: 9:30-6:30
Fri 9/14: 1:00-10:00
Sat 9/15: 1:00-10:00
Sun 9/16: OFF

Notice anything? I was a bit put out that even though Michelle finally got it right and gave me Wednesday off no question (now that I don't need it for a change, but I'm really not about to tell her that), I noticed that the new people were still getting more hours than me, and that's not cool. So I said that I could handle more hours once or twice a week. And she gives me eight-hour shifts ALL week. :::headdesk::: I mean, it'll be a nicer paycheck, yes, but.... She's still going way over budget for hours; everyone has at least twenty-five, and we're going to lose money.... But whatever.

So, macro is cool. I think I'll enjoy it. ^_^ I've got material for my first test, which should be in two weeks or so, and I'm not too bad with it. American history is going well. Though I'm almost bored to sleep in class, something is sticking because I was able to ACE my quiz this afternoon. And I mean ACE. Maybe I got the last question wrong, but I was done with the thing before the professor was even done handing them out.

However, sociology continues to be the bane of my existence. Not only is it preventing my getting home at a reasonable hour, but I still don't understand WHAT on earth the professor is going on about. I took more notes today than I did last week, but not by much, and I'm not even sure I understand it all. Oh, and the reason the book wasn't in the bookstore? Was because the idiot didn't place the order in time. And when did it arrive in the bookstore? Friday. Yeah. As in, "three days ago." What the fuck.

My grade is divvied up into three bits: class participation (including "optional" writing assignments and quizzes) is forty percent, a final presentation (don't ask me what it's supposed to be about because I haven't the foggiest) is thirty-five percent, and the last twenty-five percent is the paper. Lovely. D-plus, here I come.

Happy birthday, xoder!

Wednesday is Rosh Hashanah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah), the Jewish new year. Coincidentally, it's also the first of Ramadan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan).
