Daily life
Sep. 12th, 2005 07:45 pmI think I'll write about today, and then do a separate entry for the Elizabeth Weir essay.
Latin class was fun, our teacher put up a lot of sentences on the board and had us translate them quickly to see how we were adjusting to Latin word order and getting information about sentence structure from endings. I was pretty good at getting the translations done, so yay me.
Physics was interesting, as I found out that I hadn't done the homework because it was up on the webpage. The one I never check unless I hear we have homework, because I don't like it and can't learn well from it. However, considering that I have recieved zeros for my other work on there for differences in rounding, I'm thinking that all that would have been different if I'd known about the homework would have been my frustration level last night. Really, the class isn't all bad, but it will never be my favorite subject, and I can't wait for it to be over.
The Anatomy test was interesting, as I think it was more in depth than the class. I know I did reasonably well on it, but I've had college bio, and that gives me a better background knowledge than most of the people in the class have. Here's hoping they did well.
My Religion class had me bouncy. Lots of good reading and discussion, plus the moments when somebody said something that was unintentionally very funny and everyone started laughing hysterically. I've said it before, this class is saving my sanity.
As for the non-academic part of the day, I think I'm making better friends with this year's freshmen than I did my own grade. I've met a good group to interact with, as one of the leaders of that group is in every single one of my extra-curiculars. It's a good thing we've decided we like each other. Yay for geekiness.
And I had a nice long phone call with my mother. It's so easy to talk to her, and I think a large portion of that is that I get a large portion of my personality from her. We understand each other very well, and it's good to be able to have that sort of unwaivering security net that she provides. And if she actually reads this entry, she's probably started to blush by this point.

Character Musings, Dr. Elizabeth Weir
Sep. 12th, 2005 08:50 pmA little late, but better late than never, right?
I will probably write another essay on Dr. Weir, focusing on the growth between the current season and last, but this essay contains no spoilers for the second season of Atlantis.
