Well, today was the frst day of classes. Not so hard. Greek was something that I've never done, so it was the new class, and I've done Latin so I'm ahead of a lot of the other students.
My anthropology prof basically said that she was going to try to teach us to look from the other side of the fence. Instead of just thinking "euw, cannibalism", we'd look at WHY the cannibals believe in it and try to understand from their pov.
Since I've learned to do that and have been since well before high school, this being one of the reasons that I left my first high school--there were several conversations when I realized that gifted doesn't necessarily mean open-minded-- and since I have already developed this skill, I figure that my opinions will be well developed and that this class may, in fact, be something that I will enjoy very, very much.
Tomorrow I take a history class (which I haven't done since grade ten), and an accounting class, which I have always promised that I actually hate but continue taking since I was kicked out of the conflicting social science, saying that I would ever pass accounting since it was math.
Boy, was I wrong. It quickly became a love-hate relationship. I hate it, it gives me hell, but it's a puzzle and I never want to give the puzzles up because it's like a game of logic. "Why is there a problem? I don't know, let's backtrack. Well, it's transposed down in the final number, so something has to be wrong here."
It's actually really amusing. Kind of sad, yes, but true also. :P
I know, the little things I think are really not intelligent. But I like it. :D
Other than that, I miss my (wrong word to use under the circumstances? Should he be known as "the" since he's not in my posession, technically? Yeah, I'm gonna milk this. This will be pointed out at every possible damned moment until it is rectified...) man-meat, and I suppose that it happens. Especially with me. He'll be around the weekend I come home, though, so that's nice. I'll get some. :P
I get to make a cake with Silver! Yesss! It will be an awesome cake.
Mmmmm... Cake. Tasty. I didn't eat much dinner. I won't et breakfast. But anyway, I should be doing my Greek. So I guess I'll get on that.
Uh oh. My computer's getting super-hot. It's nearly always on. Maybe I should start shutting it down??
