new semester (A)

Classes have started again. sigh. i have two classes with melissa and three with tawni. sadly, carissa and i don't have any together. bummer! while i am pleased that i no longer have 8 a.m. classes monday through thursday, there are some classes that i already do not like. at all. today was my first sociologly class. i still don't even know what sociology really is. our teacher stood in front of the class for an hour and 45 minutes and told us some of his life experiences, most of which involved the use of illegal drugs and/or alcohol. he also informed us that he flunked out of college when he first decided to have a go at it. and now he's teaching at a university? good job NAU! you picked a real winner for sociology 101! ugh. oh, he also told us of his experiences at the university of utah and about all the mormons. it's not like he really put us in a bad light, but he sure made it seem like we had some sneaky drunks amongst us and some extremely nosy bishops who liked to see who from his ward had been at the local bar each night. at least he has colorful language though! tawni and i decided that to get us through the next class we will just tally how many f-bombs he drops. we may get into the hundreds if we're lucky! i also had my first institute class of the semester today. sigh. 5 whole people. kinda lame. i thought my class last semester was small and it had twice as many people! on the plus side for today, my teacher didn't show up for the 2.5 hour journalism class i'm taking. yippee skippy!

yesterday in my communications class our teacher guy showed us this video. twice. it's pretty good, though.

oh and in case you were wondering, i don't take my laptop to class for the reasons in this clip. i know i'd be guilty of facebooking or blogging during a lecture.
