My bad. I honestly hadn't had a chance to get on. Preorientation/orientation/first week of classes was incredibly hectic. I will try to bump regularly

First week of classes down, eh? What's your favorite so far?

I'm a mess with homework right now. Don't expect anything anytime soon, sorry y'all. Favorite class...they're all REALLY interesting, it's just a ton of work. I actually love all of them, aside from the work. My class for my major, Analyzing Media Texts, is great - we watch movies and talk about how they were made, so it's like a creative writing class for movies, the equivalent of reading a story and talking about the author's style.
And then my Global History class is actually fascinating, it's a more worldly perspective about how the world developed as a whole, if that makes sense. I'd love it more if we didn't have to read like four chapters of Guns, Germs, and Steel plus a 50 pg chapter of Rise of the West plus 20 pages in some atlas thing plus an entire 200 page book plus write an essay in one week.
Then my interpreting cultures class, that's hard to describe, we read essays about like...culture, basically - not different cultures but like philosophic interpretations of culture (like last night's was one about how the university has a role in culture), which is really interesting but confusing, and the readings are really long, and there's a paper like every other week for that (alternating with history, so I conveniently always have a paper - and then there's a film report every weekend).
Finally, Italian. So I can live in Italy someday and write books. Good stuff.
So...I love them all. But will pretty much always have a paper to write until the end of the quarter, plus I'm super involved in some various clubs and I'm on some student movie sets, so I'm trying, but my free time to write is like...nada. I sincerely apologize, I'm still thinking about Lucas and Justine, always, I promise, and I'll be writing again ASAP.

Damn. That sounds almost like a term for me. I have way more free time in college than I did in high school. Even with a 22 credit schedule.

Yeah. That's the one downside of the quarter system - everything gets condensed, but at such a high-level school we don't sacrifice information...we just go twice as fast. Yayyy.
But, I wrote a significant portion for this in order to stay awake in my history lecture today soo...if I ever get some free time, we may actually have some adds.

Nice! Looking forward to it. OSU has a quarter system as well, but I imagine we sacrfice a little bit of quality rather than over-cram everything.

I'm with iChuk on this. Now that I'm in university I have way more time than in highschool, even with studying for midterms, commuting, clubs, homework, etc.

Wow! Nice story! I haven't quite read the whole thing, but so far it's amazing.

Yeah, I definitely have more free time, but the constant papers are just bogging me down. And I've been super involved in a lot of various activities. It's all good stuff...I just have SO MANY FREAKING PAPERS. One due Friday, another due Monday, another due Tuesday I am gonna lose my mind...
I swear this story never strays far from my mind. I hope you guys believe that. When I'm bored in class, I play out Justine/Lucas scenes in my head. I'm always working on it in my mind, and when I have the time to write, I will, believe me. I'm just so swamped right now, so don't expect anything for another week or two at least. Sorry

No rush, I'm extremely patient lol. Also, quality is definately better than quantity
