ARGH. I'm not one to get stressed about school, but right now is ultimate crunch time. All of my classes seem to have projects or papers due within the next 2 weeks.
CCS 201 - Final of the three 5 page papers. This has to be a social issue relating to a film we watched. Very easy, but a pain. The teacher is pretty ridiculous. This is the first paper she's actually asked for sources for - and she only wants 3! Not hard, just time consuming... I'm thinking perhaps the power and/or morality of advertising/commercialism in perhaps E.T., or maybe homosexuality in Talented Mr Ripley...
HUM 220 - THis class is so annoying. NO ONE goes to the class, b/c it is at night and the professor (even though he's like a grad student) can't teach for shit! It's about slavery, one of those subjects that you've heard enough of throughout all the rest of your schooling! Anywhoo, I actually went tonight (and my lovely girlfriend accompanied me). We have to write a 6 page paper on any topic relating to anything we read in class. Too broad = harder than it should be! But whatever. I think I'll write some BS paper on Heart of Darkness, which i read in highschool. We also have to present our ideas to the class. According to him if we get up in front and speak words we'll get full credit. Easy class, just horribly boring and at a bad time...
CCS 311 - This is the horror class. Our final project is, rather than writing a 10 page paper, to create a website about a horror film in which we analyze it, et cetera. I am doing Brotherhood of the Wolf. Great movie by the way... But anywhoo, it takes time and she's prickish about the sources. Probably the most interesting of the assignments though.
I recently finished my 16 page Telecommunications proposal/report. That's a load off...
I just want this semester to be over...
Two departing thoughts:
I like how you can make your own schedule in college. I think that's really cool. It's like a puzzle too - very interesting to do. I'm excited b/c everything seems to be working out with me graduating in 3 years. I even discovered the 1 credit seminar course! I was actually going to be 1 credit short!
And secondly, I can't stand professors who are obsessed with print sources. They always say "go to the library and get a real book!" Books are dead, especially when it comes to research. It pisses me off so much...
I'll be back at some point. I'll probably post some of the work I do - especially that website.
And one more thing that Jessica showed me. I just took a quiz for this. It's freaky b/c the quiz matched what I felt I was before taking it. Check it out baby!
