Lightnings Tic-Tac's

I have redone the blog. It is now less offensive to the senses. Enjoy, I may actually post on a regular basis this time.

You have to stop going to be Alumni.

So I started school yesterday, at Sac State. It wasn't too bad I suppose. The parking situation was significantly worse than that of ARC but since I don't mind walking I didn't have much of a problem. It also helps to have an early class so that you have a reason to be there before ten. My classes were fine. I started with an American Government type class. Well, American Political thought, not so much government as the way Americans think and have thought throughout the ages of America. That should be enlightening. I moved on from there to Hemingway and Fitzgerald, and yeah. I like Fitzgerald a lot, Hemingway I don't really have much of an opinion of either way, so this will be a great class. The teacher seems pretty excited about it. Then I went on to my Business and Computer Ethics class. This class is a totally new experience to me as it will be broadcast live every class day and attendance is not mandatory. That's right, I don't have to go to class except to take the mid-term, take the final and to do one ethics debate. I can watch my class on T.V. or download it via the internet. The teacher is kind of creepy looking though. So yeah, it'll be a different semester. I ran into exactly zero people that I know because I know almost no one there. I doubt that will change in the near future. After ethics I had a five hour break before my next class, so I went home, ate lunch, sat around, wished I didn't have to go back for class, then went back for class. This is my Shakespeare class that I have to go to from six thirty until nine twenty at night, but it's only on Tuesdays, so it's not so bad. It's fun, the teacher is a good guy, very entertaining, and besides, it's Shakespeare, I love Shakespeare. So yeah.

That was school. Starting next week I will be losing my five hour break and start going to ARC for a portion of that time to work on the Lit Mag again. Yeah Lit Mag. So in case anyone is wondering, I will be almost completely unavailable to do anything at all on Tuesdays. Thursdays I might be available after Capoeira, but the best days to try to catch me are weekends. But anyone who wishes to steal my time for anything at all had first consider my homework, because I will. Have you seen my reading list? Let's see if I can remember the whole list.
Cymberline, Antony & Cleopatra, Tempest, Othello, MacBeth, Troilus & Cressida, The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Garden of Eden, Tender is the Night, Love of the Last Tycoon, The Old Man and the Sea, The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, Race Matters, Democracy in America, Lincoln at Gettysburg, The Radical Politics of Thomas Jefferson, Shakespeare [critical analysis stuff], a government reader, and any submissions that come in to the Lit Mag (which will be a whole bunch). So yeah. Lots of reading, less time for villains and heroes and dragons and cities and dungeons. But I will do what I can to make time for it. So yeah. If anyone wants to borrow any of these books after I'm done with then (for the sheer joy of reading them) let me know. If you haven't read Great Gatsby (regardless of if you'll like it or not) that is one book you should read. It is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. I think that should be all. Yeah John, I'll try to keep up with the D&D games on Saturdays, but I make no promises (and I know I made none already).
Also, somewhere in that mess of reading and driving to different campuses I'm still going to do Capoeira, because it's lots of fun. That's all.
