Mmmmkay, so I had a great post idea in my head all during physics, came home took a nap and now it's Gone. Of course it is. Jeeze. I'm actually starting to really like that class, but I'm not doing as well as I would like (no that doesn't mean I'm failing... I have a "C", but I'm working on trying to get it up to at least a B). It's a hard class for me, I'm not really sure why, I think it's because if you mess up at any point during a problem you're just wrong. It makes homework Hell, but at least on quizzes, we get partial credit for getting the method right. Prof. Price is pretty great, he uses all his class time for notes (which he actually writes down for you on the overhead!), and he uses fun demos (one time he made a cart out of a fire extinguisher), and is just pretty much the funniest science guy ever. Okay so he's a lot like Fry and Koutsky, but still he's pretty great. Our theory on the lack of sanity in scientists is DEFINITELY correct.
Justice is fun, we had a field trip last week, went to the Fairbanks PD station and had a tour. I didn't really enjoy it because I was sick, and almost fainted at one point (woo), but it was still pretty interesting. I might try being a dispatcher one day, it's a hard job, but I think it'd be a lot of fun. We had a test last Thursday, but I have no real idea how well I did or didn't do on it. My professor (Daku) is hilarious, he too mostly lectures in his classes, but it's more of a discussion lecture, and the class does a lot of the talking. We get into a lot of arguments, especially with one guy who is convinced that the world's problems can be solved with a bullet.
Anthropology is still very very hard to stay awake in. Professor Holzlehner at least has actually started to lay out some sort of plan every week, but I think most of his lectures get cut short. And they're really hard to stay awake in. I've started to take naps before class so I don't end up taking one during class.
English... well the teacher (not a professor) is sort of an ass. Scratch that, the is an ass. And he admits it, so I don't feel disrespectful for agreeing with him. We write sooo many papers. I think it's something like two papers a week - and I have that class twice a week. Right now I'm working on a (larger) paper about using marijuana for helping to make living with some diseases easier. No, it's not just "dude, pot for everything!", but looking at the actual, practical medicinal applications of marijuana for diseases like RA, Lupus, MS, and Crones, where people deal with chronic pain, which could be softened by using pot. I might post it when it's done.
That's school for me right now. I haven't done much in the way of anything else. I've been trying to shake off a cold/flu thing for the last two week (this is week three), and it's really hard. Especially since it got really cold out, really fast. I really just want some good homemade soup, but the commons rarely has anything good, and my canned soup tastes like poo. It's very sad. I know.
Mk I'm heading off to anthropology, hope I don't fall asleep. >_<

man you can ramble! You def have the gift of the gab!
I love you! Unfortunately, I am also sick. Fortunately we have lots of yummy soup on campus. I had chicken and dumplings soup yesterday, Italian noodle and vegetable the day before that, and tender pot roast veggie tonight. The food alone is worth transferring here. The coffee shop downstairs also has "hot organic lemon water" which, with liberal amounts of honey, is great for the throat.
It is also cold here. I have to wear a sweater under my north face jacket nowadays during the morning or after dark. haha.
I'll stop being mean now. sorry.
hmm - how do you like your English teache NOW? :D Dad
