On continues the semester
It has been so long I do not know what to say. This semester has been hard and busy for me. I am physically and emotionally drained.
I am taking two Literature classes this semester, and I usually cannot keep up with the reading or understand the reading. I just took a test in both of them, and I have yet to hear how I did. I will eventually have a presentation in American Literature on Flannery O'Connor. In British Literature I have a presentation on World War I and II. Both of these are group presentations.
I am in Federal/State/Local Government, and he rants and raves over different things the politicians do and how much they are incapable of doing their jobs. His son also is running for different offices, so he usually tells us how awesome he is and what he has accomplished. I sometimes wonder how he can talk for hours using such a short list of accomplishes as he and his son have.
Marketing is my other morning class. I am not a business major, and I have no interest in marketing. Marketing is the last class I need to complete my business minor. We have to invent a marketing plan, usually students are put in groups of 2, I am in the only group of 3. One of my group members is from Korea. She is nice and quiet, usually sleeps through every class and has strong opinions about what we should be doing which never really work out. Our teacher made the suggestion to me to change the company with which we are writing our plan for, but the two other members of my group had left class already so I have not told them. (I have now told them and we are doing our plan on Hersheys.
Speech Communications is an alright class. I am one of three girls in the entirety of the class. This next Monday night (when we have class) I will get to listen to a bunch of engineers and such give presentations. I am going to hate it. I am doing mine on art. Others are doing it on things like "converting a car from gas to electric," "intro to organic chemistry," (he gave last week and it was funny, "how to test for sound welds," "soldering, including techniques and what a good solder should look like", "how to do a carbon fiber and kevlar composite layup" (yeah, something about aircraft I guess), and then some of our non-technical majors YAY! "history of Hittite religion" "War in Iraq" (blah), and "Sports Management." Those are the three non-engineering and non-aviation majors. Oh yeah. We girls in the class get picked on because we are female, we sit together, we are not engineers, and we really got hated upon when talking about the gender neutral "he". Go figure, they kept saying that the only women who agree with that are lesbian feminists. That upset me. By the end of the discussion (when the teacher made them stop) all the girls (all 3 of us) were ready to kill all the guys or just leave the classroom.
I am also auditing Creative Non-Fiction. It is cool.
