Jan. 24th, 2011 09:33 pmSo, first day of classes is done. I only had 2 today, which is nice. I have 2 tomorrow, too. And then just 1 on Wednesday. 2 on Thurs, and 1 on Friday and then (assuming the weather decides to be nice and not evil), I'm going home for a concert on Saturday.
As for today's classes, first was Early Modern Lit (Renaissance Era, essentially) and it's not that scary. Definitely less intimidating that Revolutionary Era last semester. Granted the Prof is less awesome when compared with the Professor from Revolution Era.
The other class, Civil War & Reconstruction, is significantly more awesome. The professor who teaches it taught the Awesome!Prof back when he went here - the same class, at that - and that should give you an idea of how long he's been teaching. But, in comparison to the guy who NEEDED to retire after teaching for 40+ years from last semester who fucked up my straight-A streak, I'm sad just knowing that this is this Professor's last semester. I'm pretty sure Awesome!Prof inherited a lot of his teaching style (and his sense of humor/lecturing skills) from this guy. I do, however, have to read a 500 page novel (Uncle Tom's Cabin) before next Monday. Which is totally doable, but I am clearly not going to get to read the other two Bay City Paranormal Investigation books for a while and that makes me sad.
Also, it snowed today. Glad to see Frostburg isn't disappointing. And it wasn't even terribly cold out today. :3
