My classes during the three week session were speech and Genomics. Speech was fun, but tough because I don't really like public speaking all that much. I've discovered that I'm not as bad at it, and it's not as scary as I first thought. My friend, Ian, made me try out for the school's production of Rhinoceros, which really made me feel a lot more comfortable getting up in front of people, because I had to do some pretty embarrassing things when reading the script. But it was a great experience for me, though I didn't get cast, and I can't wait to audition for the next play, not necessarily to get cast, but to experience auditioning again, because I loved it!
This semester is going to be a tough one. I'm enrolled in 18 credit hours, and some of the classes are proving to be either difficult, a lot of work, or all of the above. Yay me. I have Genomics, Chemistry, Literary Theory, and Zoology. And then in the 3 week I have Midwest Writers, and Archery and Badmitten. It's going to be an interesting semester for me, I have a feeling.
I have rediscovered my love of letter-writing. I think that it's a shame that no one writes letters anymore, because it's such a more personal way of communicating! Someone actually took the time and effort to write out something, put it in an envelope, and mail it off. Then you have the pleasure of checking your mailbox and actually having something worth getting! And though it is significantly slower than e-mail, or IM, or texting, or a phone call, it's a nice gesture, and I know it makes me smile inside when I get a letter or a card. So, since this discovery, I've taken to writing to a few friends that I know would appreciate the art of letter writing :)
I can't really think of a whole lot to say anymore, so I'm going to cut this blog entry short, and call it a day (week... maybe month... who knows!)! God bless everyone! :)
