Good morning. Another week, and another month. I’m glad it’s February. January seemed to drag and drag and drag. I’m really hoping that this month is better, that there are more possibilities and so on for Brandon and I. One thing though about February, is that March is just that much closer, and that spring is only a couple months away. Oh the excitement and dreams of green grass!
I should really be reading one of my textbooks for the classes I have today. But I just don’t quite feel like it yet. It’s drab and boring as it is a 100 level course. I’ve already learnt pretty much everything in other classes that we cover in this. However, the paper is only three-four pages. I don’t know if that will be a blessing or a curse. I’m used to eight pages, wherein I can properly formulate a real paper with an intro, middle and conclusion. I just don’t see how possible that is with three pages. I’ll have to suck it up though. At least it means less writing. It’s funny though hearing all the first years complain about the course. It’s probably the easiest course they’ll have ALL semester long or even during all four of their years of University. But the little chillins will learn eventually. All in good time.
Anyway, I need to start my day. I’ve already had breakfast (toast and a carnation mix drink). But school calls my name sadly. My second class is my Anthropology of Egyptian History course for which I love. So all in all, not a bad day.
Have a great monday 🙂
I’m envious of your Anthropology of Egyptian History course. I wish we had that in school. I love Egyptian history as much as how Japanese history fascinates me. :c
I know eh? It’s fascinating to me, same with that of the Romans and Greek city states. So much better than 20th C history in my opinion XD
I know. The Greeks and the Romans have literature that is filled with truth’s that is still applicable today… and their architecture is so beautiful. In Japan, their loyalty to state rather than emphasize on individuality is so fascinating because it actually contributed to the beauty of their culture.
In the Philippines, we don’t have courses like that in most universities. I hate it sometimes. I feel like there is so much to learn and limited means of doing so. And the limit is how much you have.
I really know that feeling. My university’s history program mainly offers courses on Modern Warfare and what have you. My interest lies in classical-medieval history. Sadly I attend a small university (6,000 students) which is relatively new (1990), so they’re still building up the program. But that’s why I love studying past cultures even other cultures of today’s world. Their values are vastly different from that of Western Society and their societies function on different levels. It’s fascinating seeing what functions better or what doesn’t. Languages are another thing that fascinates me lol.
I swear I’m not that lame.
The college I attend is exclusively for girls. We only have 500 students in the college department for all the programs and majors available. But we’re one of the best in Cebu, Philippines. Although sometimes a school being labeled as the best does not matter or make a difference.
I have heard about scandals in the news about ethical issues of the many “BIG” corporations in the US. These managers were Ivy League schools graduates.
They should have learned from history, I guess. c:
Heh. Yeah XD. I go to a public uni, but I love it. I think people should avoid labels… but somehow I think that may be a mite difficult to actually succeed at 😦
