Two Weeks Gone

 I've been trying to write this blog post since about a week ago, but things (as well as laziness) appear to have gotten in the way.  Things are certainly picking up what with work starting this last week.  Much of my homework involves reading, something I still haven't gotten completely used to it would seem.  However, I'll just have to get used to it because besides writing and a project for my Creativity class, that's all my homework is all semester.  Sounds nice doesn't it?

All of my classes seem pretty awesome so far, with maybe the exception being Art History.  As cool as I think learning about dead guys who painted and sculpted amazing things, the class is boring.  I am not a 'take notes on what the professor is saying' sort of person.  I feel like I can't internalize anything she's saying as I'm scrambling to write it down (this isn't the prof's fault either.  She's actually pretty cool-ethereal almost.  She literally glides. No joke).  Not to mention the room is cold, and I've been sick this past week. This combination as does not promote learning either.

What I do like about all of my other classes in comparison to Art History is that we get to talk about things.  Two English classes (World Lit and Studies in Drama) promote discussion and deep thought about the text. Creativity, well this class is honestly just weird at the moment.   I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be taking out of it quite yet.  Our end goal in class is a final project (everything we turn in is related to that project).  We're supposed to do something we've never done before that is still, in some way, related to our hobbies and interests.  On top of that we're meant to contemplate this idea of transcendence, social change etc.  Our projects are, understandably, meant to have a purpose behind them, but I don't entirely know what I have to transcend in my life.

Winter is in full swing this weekend with it being -2 degrees this morning according to Google. There's well over a foot of snow on the ground and as much as I should take out the trash and do the laundry today (note, this was written on Sunday. I did get my laundry done)...I really don't want to trudge through it. The snow is not conducive to the various chores I need to get done.

Today is now Monday, and I should be leaving for class soon, but don't particularly want to. Walking through the snow isn't (as I've said) the funniest thing in the world to do.  However, I've got three classes on Monday, two of which I actually enjoy going to.

That being said, I think I'll put on my boots and finish putting my bag together.

Happy Day.
