It was something of a busy week last time I wrote, had alot of stuff all going on at once. Alas, things seem to be slightly better now, hopefully it'll stay that way for awhile. I like things to make sense or at least be somewhat reasonable, and people aren't always that way, leaving me a tad annoyed. At that point, I get near a computer when I'm still just barely awake and ramble for awhile. So.. yeah.
I can't really think of much of note that happened this past week, but I'm sure things did occur (safe to say, since I was awake and at school everyday). I did finally get my schedule fixed, and it should stay the same until December (or so I hope). I've also started reading novels in my "Lit and War" class, which is a nice improvement. Reading select chapters about facts on history is good enough, but too disconnected. Reading a novel from start to finish is much better. Right now, I'm reading "Fire on the Plains" by Shohei Ooka. It's a good book (and in English), though a bit dark. Since I'm going to be reading (WWII) war novels--about one a week--for the next 3-4 months, I think I'll put off "Jarhead" until next semester.
This week.. I imagine I probably have a "surprise" essay to write about the book sometime soon, reading assignments, and I don't think much other than homework is coming up. Might have a quiz coming in the next week or so, but nothing too pressing yet. I should start on paper topics soon for my term papers, but that can wait another week or so.
There's more to say, but it's late and I'm tired. For now, though, I leave with a photo taken on Friday. Yes, I do still exist! It was taken in one of the eateries/cafeterias/what-have-you on campus after classes.
The picture is in the full entry, under "More.." at the bottom of this post.
With that, I'm off!
