Will, I ended up taking a day off and going to the library. Pulled some books from the shelves, and managed to read that plus my text and got my papers written....

Late, late, late... seems like everything is running late these days. I finished my last course almost three weeks ago. Since then I started PHY107 - Ethics. And I went on vacation, and I kicked off a new project at work, and I totally swamped myself and now I have late work for school, and I am in the dulldrums about it. The reading in this course is so boring that I can't get through it. I literally fall asleep within a couple of minutes of reading, which is making it difficult to get the work...

Another five weeks; another course completed. This last course was Judeo Christian Thought (Theology - Old and New Testament). It was a great deal to cover in a five week course. It started out very interesting, but my interest really waned toward the end. I guess I am just not cut out to be a theologian. I did however dis-spell some of my misunderstandings of Christian dogma, so that did provide some value to me.

My next course is Informal Logic (PHI 103). Read that as Critical Thinking....

Here I am again. I just finished English Composition I. Simple course, I didn't find out until I was done that I could have taken an alternative. Oh, well. I do enjoy writing, so any class that helps me with that is a good one.

I am now 10% done with my degree. It still feels like I have just started, yet I am already on my fifth class. My current class is Judeo Christian Thought. I was raised Jewish, and I am surrounded by Christians; this should be a piece of cake.

Well, here I am again, marking another milestone. 7.5% of my degree is complete. I just finished ENG 225 - Introduction to Film. I am not sure how much I learned in this class, as I have been exposed to the movie industry through my normal mode of curiosity and research for years. What I did get out of the course was more practice in the world of formal writing.

I did my final paper, a complete analysis of a movie that needed to show understanding of all the major principles taught...
