begin reading now.
I'm not dead yet (though I feel like I am; i'll get to that later). It's been a long quarter for me! I'll try to keep things concise/orderly.
Organized my first several recruitment events for my fraternity, which were much more successful than i'd imagined! Tried my hand at the whole not-being-single thing, which worked for a little bit, but ultimately didn't work out. We were looking for different things, and reached an understanding. My classes are kicking my tail! Intro to Digital Media Production is all right, just project oriented which I like. Japanese is a subject I should be spending more time focusing on (or any time for that matter). Philosophy is a lot more difficult than I imagined, but very very interesting! History through Star Trek, unfortunately, is the most disappointing class i've ever experienced. This is beyond "writing class" in second grade where they forced us to write in cursive. This is beyond art class in 4th grade where I wasn't allowed to draw kids with guns riding dinosaurs and killing Adolf Hitler. The professor doesn't show up to class half the time, when he does we never actually follow what the lecture is supposed to be; class turns into a political discussion where everyone is yelling about how they agree with each other. There's no connection between the reading material and the episodes that were watched during the week. It really pisses me off. On top of all that, the reading assignments are circa 200 pages (every week) and the quizzes over said reading assignments are detail oriented. Five questions consisting of things like "What year was this published?" or "what was [character]'s nationality?".... I should also mention he wastes our time during his lecture; he's spent three 2-hour lectures, setting aside a half hour to yell about his tenure. Not that the hour and a half would've been spent productively by any means. In another instance he had a guest speaker come in and discuss something about not buying electronics from companies who are getting their silicon from violent sources? I understand that's a problem, great. I understand that needs to be addressed, fine. I don't understand why the first hour of the class needs to be dedicated to THAT, when we almost ended up having an engaging discussion that week, but had to cut it due to reaching the end of the lecture time.
In more positive news, i've started organizing next quarter's recruitment events, and will be holding some fundraisers :) They're gonna be fun, but i'll keep you guys posted in case anyone wants to visit~
Also, started a regular workout schedule (by regular, I mean i'm going two days strong right now!). Day 1 I just went 18 miles on a bike; Today was crossfit. Fuck crossfit. I finished in 32 minutes, that was an hour ago. I'm still shaking. I feel like i'm gonna die haha. I think i'll just get on the bike again tomorrow, make crossfit a once-a-week thing xD
hope you're all doin' savvy~ :] I miss talking to all you fuzzies <3
