Summer is done and over with for me, and it couldn’t come any sooner.  This summer was pretty much uneventful. Two summer classes and nothing out of the ordinary happened, except for the short time Linette was here, and of course the US Open…. The day Andy lost his mojo… in my opinion, I think he’s overrated.

Now that Linette is back on St Kitts starting her 3rd semester there, I’m up starting on my senior year.  This semester I’ll be taking PHI 014 (Ethics), FIN 101 (Intro to Finance), HIST 105 (Ancient Egypt, Greeks and Hebrews), LEGL 020 (Intro to Legal Systems), and AH 003 (Gods and Kings).

Today was fairly uneventful, ethics was cancelled because of the freshman/ incoming transfer convocation, which left me with 1 1/2 hours of nothing to do, so I got some of my books during that break as well as the new parking stickers.  Seems like there’s a distinction between commuter and resident students now.  Only new thing is that the commuter students get their own parking lot, which is still fairly small.  I think they should expand the commuter lots into the area behind Starr Hall, and have the residents park on the north side of campus, since their dorms are there anyway.

Finance class was a bit interesting, Prof. Papaioannou… try saying that, seems like a fair professor, but I guess only time can tell.  The class is full, but I suspect that the class will shrink as the semester goes forward.

Final class of the day, was an eye opener. Prof John Walsh, for Hist 105.  This guys doesn’t look like you’re typical University professor. He walked in with a Hawaiian shirt on, ipod earbuds hanging inside his shirt and his bag.  I was like, this guy can’t be our professor.  In any case, the guy is pretty much straight forward with rules.  When class is in session, he talks, and when he stops.. He’s done.  If a student’s cell phone rings, he answers it.  At least he doesn’t kick them out of class, and marks them absent like my Calc1 professor did at Nassau.  Other things, no exams, and only 2 papers, but I think these papers need to be written really well to get a good grade.  Professor Walsh says he’s a liberal and believes that government should stop passing laws that interferes with people’s lives and that young people shouldn’t be allowed to vote.  He feels that young people doesn’t know enough of the facts and that it’s unfair that young people have the same voting power as he does.  So my guess is that he feels he’s knows enough facts to make informed decisions.  An opinion that I can relate to.  Too many decisions out there are made on half-ass information, which leads to half-ass solutions, which can lead to disaster.

I’ll try to be more up2date with this blog now that school is in session.  I have something I can bitch about now 😛
