yikes. what a start to a semester.
i really honestly truly expected this semester to be ridiculously busy. and i was right. i've had something to do every night so far and it will only get worse. all my classes seem doable except Persuasion. we are supposed to find a topic we are passionate about and by the end of the semester have talked about it for about 30 minutes over all. with and without note cards. with outlines and works cited and numerous sources. gaaahhhhh so freaked out!
i guess this is the first class that i'm really worried about. so much so i'm already considering dropping it... i had to give a speech on the second day! sigh. but it's something I have to take for my major so i might as well get it over with. i wanted life to be busy and now it's too busy for me to deal with. or maybe i'm just still in the mindset that i was in vienna where if i have a little extra time i should be doing something other than slowing down for a little bit and enjoying things i enjoy. i finally got around to watching big bang theory today because of that mindset.
as a result to all of this i've developed a bit of a cold of which i've passed onto my roommate. sorry kelc! real exciting stuff i tell ya!
just now realized i need to take a shower and read a chapter for bible before i can sleep... should probably get to that now. more later.

I was a Communications major if you need any help with those outlines/works cited/other BS you have to do with those speeches. I took Persuasion, but our professor went about it waaaay differently! She essentially taught US how to persuade (and manipulate, haha) others, as well as showing us how major corporations are set up to persuade consumers to purchase their stuff.
Thirty minutes! Whoa! So is your persuasion class a communication class? I took a persuasion class but it was psychology, so no long speeches for us! I loved it though; I learned so much.
And that is why I am a biochemistry major. All the speech I had to take was intro to comm. However, if I was a good pre-med student, I'd take more speech so that I would have an easier time during the interview and eventually communicating with my patients. hmm. hang in there. :)
