today is wednesday. i went outside once this week. it was sunday afternoon and i needed groceries. since then, i have been locked away in my apartment studying. i have class tonight so i get to go outdoors... thrilling!
this intro to communication class that i'm taking is basically there to separate the weak from the committed. i spoke on the phone with one of the second year students and found out some information:
1. during your first semester of this program, you won't be making many friends or socializing that often. the intro course is the most intense course that throws the most work at you. this isn't to scare people away. it's to figure out who really wants this. if people came here just to get the diploma and not really bother to work hard, they won't be getting a degree.
2. people in the program can tell which students have read the material... and it's a small program so people talk.
3. the work will be more manageable after this class is over.
after that little pep talk, i checked the online grading sheet to see if anything has been posted. i got a 94 on my first paper. looks like ill be in my room for the rest of 2008 if i want to keep this up.
love and loyalty
