getting through day one... but maybe just barely...

$110 lighter thanks to the textbook, i've come through the first day back in school relatively unscathed. but to say that i am bursting with an abundance of energy would be a very huge lie.

as much as i like writing, learning about writing is probably one of the driest forms of academic pursuit.

ever.

well, it's fun to learn new writing techniques. new angles to explore how to write a story. new elements and factors to consider when one phrases and packages the words being used.

but inevitably, the subject matter is dry, and i'd really love to get my hands dirty and just get down to the writing.

and while she's pretty nice and all, the prof won't let me use the lappy in class. guess that means no in-lesson research and "research" plus note taking on ms word, tho at least she speaks with a southern drawl. one more new accent to learn.

wheee. or should i say yee-haw!
