I’m going to make this short tonight as I’m trying to get ahead a week on homework, and I don’t really have a lot of time to do that. I have finished all the work assigned to me for the past week, but in order not to fall behind when it gets busier I’m working ahead. I think it would be better to get ahead as I’m reading a lot between history class and English which is like a lit. class. I have very few assignments due during the week that are more than read from here to there. I think all the reading is outlined in the syllabuses so I shouldn’t have a problem getting ahead.

I’m finding history as interesting as I remembered, but also requires more note taking than I’ve ever done before. I’m not really a great note taker, as my hand writing skills are extremely laking. I’m going to ask tomorrow if she would mind if I took notes on my laptop, because I think I could keep up easier then and make more sense of it. I really like the teacher. She’s a retired Colonel. I think her perspective on the wars might be quite interesting.

English is boring as I don’t like studying lit. nearly as much as I like just reading it. I don’t really care for breaking down things that are enjoyable in their natural state. I’m finding that there is a lot to modern literature that I never cared to find out.

I haven’t had enough class time in my Intro To Engineering class to form an opinion on it yet. I was in class the first night for all of 45 minutes of the scheduled 2 hours. I think that looks like it might be the norm too.

Molly seems to be adapting back to my long days well. I wish I could say the same for me. I’ve had a real problem with feeling sleep deprived even though I should have much more time to sleep this quarter. I think most of that feeling comes from worrying about classes. I hope most of my fears go away as I finish this week. I have a essay due in history tomorrow that I have to write in class and as I stated earlier my handwriting is lacking, so that’s my concern tonight. I’m hoping she will let me use my computer for that too. I bought this computer last quarter when I had all my classes in computer labs and didn’t need it. Now that I can use it I’m too timid to ask to use it.

Well, I suppose I’d better get back to reading history as I have about 15 more pages in one book and 30 or so in another. I also have about 20 pages I need to read and breakdown for Tuesday night’s English class.
