More, Better, Prettier

I need to update the blog more often. I must make better posts, with more politics. I need to change the design to something prettier, more colorful, more “hip”.

First week of classes through, and it’s looking pretty good. I’m taking twelve credits: three writing classes and macroeconomics. I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which really makes everything manageable. Because the workload is going to be pretty hefty. A lot of writing, to be expected.

I did not place into German 202. I didn’t even make it into 201. After two semesters of 102, I still can not place out of it into a higher class. Ultimately this doesn’t matter, since next fall I can take 201 (which is only offered in the fall – I was trying to skip it, take 202 this spring semester, and be done with that “awful German language”). But it’s damn exasperating nonetheless. The politics major requires a foreign language taken up to the intermediate level. I’m reminded of when one of my advisors said that the only way around this, was if I had some sort of learning disability which precluded doing this.

I wish. I’m just damn lazy, and – in languages – you can’t just sail through. Or at least I can’t. Maybe I should bone up on the symptoms of a disability.

No. That’d be too much work.

I’m going to work on the design of the site, since it’s pretty drab right now. And I really need to get back into the swing of writing politics. I did not intend this to be a personal blog. I hate personal blogs.
