Two posts in one day. Go me! I guess you could say that I'm trying to make up for lost time. Annnyways, I skipped my Western Civ class today. I had to go by the bank and fill my tank up this morning, so that left me fifteen minutes behind schedule (I usually leave right at 9:00; giving me at least ten to fifteen minutes to get to class). But at that point, I thought I'd be late, although I could have drove fast and made the class on time, but the lack of motivation left me driving at normal speed. And so I arrived at school and blogged. That's right. Instead of going to class, I wrote that first blog.

I just got out of Brit Lit and I must say that I really enjoy that class. The first item on his agenda was to pass out the graded writing assignment from Friday. He talked about how grades were fair, and that worried me. He gave me back my assignment and said, "Good as always." The grade in the top write was a 98. It pleased me that he commented on my paper. It made me smile, but worry about less of a challenge. I doubt that Dr. King will slack off as a professor. He does criticize harshly, which I like. He's open for discussion, but if you disagree with him, you'd better bring your A-game and be able to back it up. I remember one time in English class he told us that he prefers that we disagree with him, and that he would love to debate about ANYTHING, just be able to back it up. Which really does make sense. I mean, if you're out in the real world, you would have to back it up or else even harsher consequences would follow compared to being yelled at by Dr. King. We talked about a poem by Wordsworth which I actually liked, compared to his other writings which I hate. This one was about an encounter with an old man whose profession it is to gather leaches. It sounds cool, but he gathered leaches by allowing them to attach themselves to his legs. It was so gross, but really awesome. Today, he announced, that Tom Stoppard's Arcadia is scratched off the reading list and "The History Boys" is added. He talked a long time on that play. I've heard about it, but never really looked into it. I do remember it playing when Amy and I were in New York. But I was going to pitch a fit if he took off "Endgame." Gotta have my Beckett.

Oh! And Dr. King announced that we were the first people to be informed about a new surprise. He said, in fact, that he had just signed the paper before coming to class. Drum roll...... He gladly announced that he will be heading up a Gordon College Summer semester in England 2009. I know that is pretty far away, and who knows where I'll be in 2009, but I would love to come back and go to England. He said the trip is leaning more towards the Theatre side, but he does intend to make it a Literary journey through England. I think I'm making my mind up right now that I'm going. Maybe I'll stay at Gordon in the fall, graduate, take time off in Spring of 09, and then go to England. No, I don't think I want to plan everything out now. I don't even know what I'm going to eat for lunch today. But that trip really sounds like fun!

I just finished reading Acts 1 and 2 of The Tempest, and it's pretty good. I ordered the movie this past weekend and it already came. Tony asked me not to see the movie until after I finish my design project. You might ask yourself why I bought the movie, well, I wanted a visual representation as well. Wanna fight about it? And might I also add that the movie stars John Cassavetes, Raul Julia, and is directed by the guy who made "Scenes From A Mall." Although, I shall respect the demands given by my professor AND BOSS. Wow, I can say that my boss is also related to me in another matter. How cool.

Well, I think I'm going to do lunch. I promised some people that I would eat in order to stay alive for them. Haha. Oh Will...
