The spring semester thus far
Jan. 19th, 2007 08:46 amWork: I'm only tutoring three hours a week this semester, and making up my other hours at the front desk with Sawnia. I'm really enjoying working for someone who actually likes me, and making copies and telling people how to scan in student ID cards is much less stressful than tutoring (though admittedly also less rewarding).
History: I like Gibson, and he seems like a good teacher... but his voice is so smooth and relaxing that I fear for my state of consciousness during his lectures.
Spectrum: the lock is not working properly. Sharai, Mark, Craig and I can't get in unless we have security come up. I'm not happy about this. And we only have four new people this semester, but I like all of them so far, so that's not too bad. Plus, I have two ideas for editorials already, which bodes well.
Statistics: I've heard some pretty bad things about Chappell, but he seems okay. (Then again, I doubted the horror stories I heard about Dr. Welch last semester, and look what happened with that.) He just went over the syllabus and talked about class organization and stuff like that, so I don't yet know how good he is at teaching math. I suspect the phrase "you know?" is going to get old fast.
Human Lifespan Development: Holy mackerel, that man can talk! We managed to get through an hour and a half of lecture about nothing at all. What a talent. I think it'll get better once we get into the textbook material, though; he was mostly just rambling today and getting to know us a bit. And he says "isn't that interesting?" as often as Chappell says "you know?"
Honors seminar: I showed up at the location printed on my class schedule at 5:30 and found a dark, empty classroom. No idea what happened with that. I'm going to contact the teacher today.
Karate: It's really, really, really good to be back.
