Different Methods

I've always enjoyed English classes, well at least half of those English classes. My favorite part was the literature and reading comprehension, the things that I excelled at. Research papers, grammar worksheets, and spelling tests were always my enemies in English, but the new and different methods implemented by Prof. McArdle really have me interested in writing.

For instance, this blog is a really new concept to me and probably many of you other students as well, but I think its a fresh way to get into writing publicly. I'm actually excited to see what can come out of these in the way of discussion and idea sharing, and the use of technology here is such a jump up from high school. Well, I should probably get back to reading that Ball-Point handbook. That thing is pretty long winded.

Second Day of College Classes

Boy are my legs going to get tired this year. After English today, I had to go straight to ASTRO 120. I guess I underestimated the distance because I got there about five minutes late. Right after that I had to get to the Ball Communications building. Most of my classes are stuck together, so I have to rush to them in the 15 minutes given to me.

Hopefully next time I can take a shuttle bus and save some time but I still have to learn the bus routes. Does anyone have the same situation with their classes?
