If you've never put up laundry by black light, you should try it. It's quite the unique experience.

I figure it's about time I go through my course line-up for this Spring. Having had two classes, I have a fairly good impression of what my classes will be like, but naturally, some things will surprise me throughout the semester. I think I'll just run through what should be a typical week.

On (a normal) Monday, I'll wake up shortly before 9, get ready for the day, and enjoy breakfast. At 10:30, I'll go to chapel, then to the Hive for lunch. I'll waste an hour there, then head to my first class of the day, Computer Theory with Baas. I'm fairly certain this class was made for me. It should be a fair balance of math and computer science, focusing on the math that makes computer science work. There's also going to be a fair amount of programming, which should be very nice. I miss programming. After Theory, I'll probably head to the library for an hour to get a jump-start on my homework or just read for fun. Then at 2:30, I'll head to Linear Algebra with Roden. This is my first Roden class, and I've heard several different things about him. All in all, I think I should enjoy the class, though the homework will be rather tedious. I look forward to the "Theoretical Problems" at the ends of the assignments. How odd is that? After going by the Comp Sci and Math offices to pick up the calculus homework, I'm free for the evening. Free to do work, that is.

Tuesday, I get up before 9:30 in order to get to American Lit on time. Waking the Guatemalan is a chore in itself. At 11, I go eat lunch at SAGA, then head to the Ice Cave to get my books for the afternoon of doom and power. At noon, I have Computer Architecture with King and Cynic. The homework promises to be excessively boring until we get a programming assignment, and the class is a King class, which is necessarily sleep-inducing. After Architecture, I head straight to Old Testament Backgrounds with Hummel. As with any Hummel class, this will be fun, difficult, and rewarding all at the same time. After that, I head over to Solheim for Fatness with Jacobs. Unfortunately, Jacobs wants to take the class seriously, which means I'll have to pay a little bit of attention. How sad. After that, I run by the Comp Sci and Math offices to get the Trig homework. How fun. Thus, after some four hours of class, my Tuesday ends.

Sadly, I am in no honors classes this semester, and I have no evening classes to break up the monotony. Weighing in at 17 hours, with four 3000-level courses, one 4000-level course, and Fatness, this semester promises to be the most difficult at LeTourneau until my last year or so. Should I have any free time left, I'll most likely be reading Euclid or some of the other books I received at Christmas. Maybe I'll read through Pride and Prejudice. Should I have any free time.
