A Few New Things

Today was, like most days, a big and exciting day. I had four classes--two lectures and then two seminars of Childrens' Literature and Detective Fiction. It was a tough decision but I ended up parting from my Detective Fiction class. I read the book we were supposed to read for today and did all that, but when I got there it wasnt just about the solving crimes, mystery, who-dun-it scenerio, OH NO! It was about the feminist approach to a woman's voice in crime. And we are supposed to psychoanalyze what it really means for woman to have this type of occupation blah blah blah. BORE-ing. I spelled that wrong for emphasis. Any way, it just didn't speak to me the right way and the professor lectured like a junior high student reading nervously off a handout that each of us had (and could therefore read ourselves...) Boring. So I opted for American Politics. I hope I wasnt too hard on Detective Fiction though! It just wasnt for me. Yes. But Childrens' Literature was really educational/fun we discussed The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Which as I said before is always right up my alley. I know American Politics is cheating a little bit, but I dont expect it to be easier than any other class. I mean how much do I REALLY really know any way. Let's just say I could stand to learn a wee bit. So. Today I bought a gym pass and went to aerobics class with two of my flatmates, which was really fun/intense. I also joined the Cross Country team and had my first practice an hour after aerobics. I will feel that one tomorrow! On tuesday aka tomorrow I only have one lecture in the morning so Im going to run a few errands and go shopping! No practice tomorrow, but Im going to more fitness classes at the gym (Ive finally found something to occupy my loads of free time!) I think I might try and go to bed before midnight tonight. I have a hard time falling asleep because of the time change, but luckily and for whatever weird reason I can wake up at 7 in the morning like it's no big deal. I dont know how that worked itself out, but I like it. Okay that's all for today! cheers
