First day of spring semester today! Woke up at 7:00 AM (yes that is 30 minutes too early for me :-) ) to get my run done. Easy 9 miles. My first class of the day was Philosophy 201, the history of greek and medieval philosophy. I like my professor, and think this is going to be a interesting class. Next was English 312, with a very nice professor. On the syllabus she talks about how she wants us all to do well and believes in us -- contrast that to Dr. Chahal, my vector calculus professor last semester, who stated on his syllabus that 'adequately prepared' students would need to spend 12 hours a week on homework to get a C+. So, in some ways this semester will be a break. Of course, it is the spring term, which means that we have to cover twice the material in half the time (OK, I am making up the bit about twice the material, but it sure feels like it.) MY next class is World Religions, a religion elective I'm taking primarily because it fits my schedule, but it still promises to be interesting. Anyway, I look forward to the rest of the semester. I hope to find time to write more in this blog.
