an idea so brilliant, it just had to be blogged

School. I'm sorry to say that it's actually pretty good. Actually, i'm not really sorry to say it, because if it was terrible than i'd hate going, and that would be far worse than having to sound lame and saying that I like school. But yea it's quite good. Philosophy is gonna be an awesome course I can tell you right now, because it's pretty much what I want to learn, so when i read what's comin up next class I'm like "SWEET! THE KALAM COSMOGICAL ARGUMENT!" or "NO WAY!? THE EMPIRICIST THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE!" Hmm, english might be okay too, because my prof says she doesn't give lectures, we just have discussions every class, and that she'll actually show us how to read poetry so we can understand it for once. History...well i guess it's interesting but it's kinda boring at the same time. New Testament is awesome so far, we'll be learning stuff about translating and critisms and stuff like that I think. And then there's greek which is so simps, and the teacher is pretty funny and tells us what's on our upcoming quizes that we have each week. So overall, school's good and i'd bet that i've met more people in the first 2 weeks than i have in my past 20 years of life before that.

The new switchfoot cd is pretty good. Similar to the last one, where there are a couple amazing songs and the rest are okay. Well they could be awesome too but i've only listened to it like once. Just, you know, the amazing songs always stand out right from the start.
So buy it...don't steal it, and don't say "i have no bling." That's right, I know all your style.

Oh and another thing about school...today i had to write a response to this thing i read for history. Only had to be 1 to 2 pages long, double spaced. Yet, i took like 3 hours to do it (i started at like 3 and its 8 and i just finished, i took breaks between though, for dinner and some raymond and etc.). I believe it's gonna take quite some time to get in the habit of putting my thoughts together and putting them down in essay format, because I haven't done it in pretty much 3 years. So hopefully that happens, because if not than when I have to write research papers it'll take me months.

Oh and maybe I'll write something that pertains to the title of the blog...my reason for starting it in the first place, and i forgot about till just now when i looked at it before clicking "Publish Post." The brilliant idea is this:

Starting tomorrow, which is friday, I'm gonna start getting ahead of my school work. So...i'll do all the stuff due for monday tomorrow. Everything due for tuesday i'll do on saturday. Everything for wed i'll do on sunday. For thurs i'll do on mon. For fri i'll do on tues. For mon i'll do on wed...and it'll keep going like that till i'm so far ahead that i'll finish early and just have my essays to write and my midterm and final. The reason this is possible you ask? Because at university they give you a schedule of all your homework and test dates, and mostly, what you read in your textbook is what the homework is based on, not what the teacher teaches. They may clarify or talk briefly about it, but mostly they lecture on stuff not mentioned in the textbook, and there is no homework on that stuff, just questions on tests. So i can do all the homework way in advance of each class, and therefore, rule the school.

Goodnight
