OKAY. I'm exhausted. BUT I promised myself I would update this tonight (who knows if y'all even keep up with this stupid thing! I'll pretend you do. I bet Mama does. She stalks jailbirds online! The least she could do is check my blog.)
The job at Starbucks is working out GREAT! I really like it a lot... It's a lot of work, and it will take me a while to feel like I have it all under my belt, but so far, so good. I worked today, yesterday, and Sunday, and I work again Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday...
and then I'm done with training! (Thank GOD! Training sucks. It's so much less hands-on stuff than I would prefer.)
Classes started yesterday. I'm generally pretty pleased with my courses.
Religion ("Sin: The History of an Idea"): The professor is this incredibly sweet old lady (ahem, a NUN. Sister Elizabeth.), and so far, the articles she's given us have been very readable. The subject itself is pretty interesting, so I think it will be fine, aside from the fact that it's a 9:30 class, aka the buttcrack of dawn.
Philosophy ("Making Moral Decisions"): Same guy who taught my Intro to Philosophy class, and I liked him a lot... though it seems there will be some overlap from that class into this. Our first assignment was to read/answer questions on an article we did in Intro. Oh well... I don't feel like it's too easy, I just feel a little at an advantage cause I have a better grasp on the material...
French: Please kill me. Sil-vous plais?
European and Comparative Government: The class is HUGE (like 30 people AT LEAST... that's a freaking ginormous class for Loyola... I've never had more than 20 tops!), the professor is, in my opinion, a waste of oxygen. She taught my International Organizations class last spring, and she is seriously an embarrassment to political science professors everywhere. At least she's an easy A? Although in my major classes, I'd rather get a C and really feel like I"ve learned something that's going to benefit my career. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.
US Foreign Policy: Good lord. There are 7 people in the class (myself included), and I am the ONLY GIRL! And most likely, from the sound of our discussions, easily the most retarded student in there. Not that that intimidates me... I'm a pretty good bullshitter, and the professor seems REALLY cool. He requires his students to read the NY Times daily... good thing Loyola provides it to students for free! And Starbucks donates NY Times to the animal shelter at the end of the day, so if I don't pick it up at school, I can swipe it from work. Should be an interesting course, especially with the elections coming up.
So there you have it. Add in work with a sprinkle of cheap college bar booze, and you have my life. Jealous? You should be. :)
