Life of Pride
Wednesday, July 27, 2005
OK, forget food. I guess that was more for my personal enjoyment than anyone else's. I found it useful to summarize some of the stuff I've learned. :)
Ouch. I just spent $230 on Amazon for next semester's books. They would have cost me $420 new from the PHC Bookstore, but I scouted around and bought most of them used. My courses next semester are:
- Principles of Biblical Reasoning - Tu/Th - 8am
- Topics in Philosophy - Tu/Th - 12pm
- Modern Middle East History - Tu - 7-10pm
- Worldviews in Literature - MWF - 12pm
- English Literature Seminar I - MWF - 1pm
- The Novel - MWF - 2pm
As you can see, this is much more a lit semester than a history one. Spring semester will be almost all history, because I'll be writing my senior project then. Brrrr! *shivers* At least it ought to be fascinating, because I am going to write about the history of homeschooling. I'll get to interview lots of people and put info together. Tres cool. And then I write 90-100 pages. On top of this, I'll also be taking at least three classes. Should be a fun time of reading and imaginative research.
During this semester, I'll be spending three consecutive hours in Dr. Hake's classroom in Founder's for my three lit classes. :P Thrills! Except on Wednesdays, I'll have to duck out of Novel and rush to the P'ville homeschool co-op to teach my Physics class. I think I'm going to have to do extra writing for Dr. Hake to make up for the missed classes. Ah well.
Only three weeks, fellow PHC'ers! If you are visiting my blog, Sarah L., I am sorry if this makes you a bit melancholy, since you are graduated and all. You shall have to bestow your beneficent self upon campus often. :)

Yes, it is so much better to suffer through an 8am class in company. :) Actually, I am looking forward very much to PBR. As Christy said on the student message board, we get both Augustine and Aquinas! What could be better? :) It seems like the sort of course both you and I should thoroughly enjoy.
I don't get PBR with Bates. Sniff. I think I am going to audit.
But Sarah, we will be in Topics, the Novel, and Worldviews together... wow, you will be taking more lit than me :). Fun, fun, fun!!!
And aren't textbooks so expensive? I'm up to $188 and haven't bought them all yet...

Yes, PBR does have some great materials... and I'm auditing Dr. Mitchell's Ancient/Medieval Political Theory... *contented sigh* 'Tis heaven. :)
Aaa, Gabi, now I am jealous! I am so tempted to do the same thing, except then I wouldn't get any lunch Tue/Th, and that would be bad.
Arg. I STILL haven't gotten my book list and class schedule yet, and thus have not been able to begin ordering my books. They've done this to me for the last three semesters, and it's getting rather annoying. Last semester I had to begin several classes without the books.
If I get what I signed up for, I'll have Topics in History, Historical Research, ConLaw, Lit II, and Bio. Not a particularly appealing semester, but we'll see what happens.
