Week One of School Done

Someting fun I noticed today. It greatly amuses me when I see something I know someone forgot somewhere and I know exactly what they were thinking when they left it there. Like, the classic example, the coffee cup on top of the locker or the research essay information right beside the library computer. Its amusing, cause I stood there looking at the coffee cup and thinking through the entire thought process of whoever left it there.
More amusing. Pauline was sharing a couple odd quirks of a couple of her profs early. One of them is a prof who doesn't breathe when she speaks. She rambles on and on without taking a breath till it gets to the point where she's getting out of breath and you are just sitting there painfully awaiting her breath, to the point that the whole class takes a big breath with her.
So far everyone else has found this very amusing but I'm completely serious. I finally gotten into my Women's History course and we have a large paper to write and the prof gave us a few topic choices, one of them is why women entered the convent and there was another that dealt with the issue of lesbianism in the 16th and 17th centuries. I'm going to combine the two, with my main point being that lesbianism was a reason for women to enter the convent. For two reasons, first they would have the company of women and second because then they would not have to marry as those were pretty much their only choices. I'm excited about it. I think it should be fun. However, I do need to do some reasearch this weekend and see if its actually plausible and if not then, well, I'll be searching for something else.
My Philosophy of Law Seminar has me scared. I'm asking to do mine last. For two reasons. First, I'll get to see everyone else do their's and then I'll actually know what I'm doing since I have on idea what a seminar is, nor how to do it. And second, by the end of March I'll have all my papers done and actually have time. Speaking of papers, I have about 13 papers, a debate and a seminar this term. Five of those papers are due in the week after spring break, you know, that break where I'm not going to be here. Seriously thinking maybe its not such a good idea. However, I might be able to get them done in February. Or at least that's going to be what I try to do.
Anyhoo, gonna go back to my sociology reading. Its actually interesting so its not that too painful.
