Overwhelmed

Wow. So last night I was up until 3 am! Grrr... and then I had to wake up at 7 am for my 8 o'clock class. But all in all, it's been a great day! I seriously love all of my classes, at least so far! I attended my other classes today which were:

Writing Literary Criticism

First off, the teacher started out by saying this class was going to be really really really hard, and we would most likely not get an A. But what really matters is how we progress. Great. The class is all about writing essays, analytical evidence, and that jazz. Sweet, I know what I'll be doing this semester! Pulling my hair out trying to find a valid stance that is original - and by that I mean, a stance that no respected critic, or the thousands of students that have come through BYU, has ever used before. Simple, right...?

Modern American Usage

This class seems interesting. Our teacher came in 10 minutes late. I was wondering who would be the first to leave when he swept in apologizing and saying he was determined to not be late on the first day and then failed.... The class is all about prescriptions. No I don't mean OTC drugs. Prescriptive rules are the laws and mandates that govern our literary and grammatical world. Basically, when it's correct to use the words "to" or "too", "then" and "than" - or how to spell received, or wait is recieved? I'm excited though, because I want to be able to know the knit picky answers that students might ask me about when I'm teaching.

Well, I'm at work right now and I feel like I'm about to pass out! 4 hours of sleep + a full day of work = exhaustion. Oh yeah, Devin wants to go look at a new place to live today. I think we are both sick of our ward and would like to be closer to campus. It's hard to have to drive everywhere when we only have one car! Plus, I think we would have a lot more fun down in good ol' P-town. 

We'll see! Wish me luck so that I can stay awake for the next 4 hours! :/
