I learned a very important equation today while working on my calc homework and doing laundry that will probably be the most important equation I'll learn all year: x loads of laundry = 70x minutes. Almost missed ceramics class...and DID miss lunch. :-P
I think I've also figured out why I think college homework is worse than high school homework. The professors here haven't once mentioned an assignment, except to say that we can turn it in on his/her desk as we're walking out the door. This can create a lot of panicky situations - it sure did the other morning when I realized that I hadn't even started my physics assignment. Luckily it was short and easy, and it only took me 10 minutes. I've taken to writing down the assignment in several different places now, so wherever I look I have to say "OK, did I do that yet?"
Putting together my two subjects, we get today's wonderful advancement in college organization: Homework Day. I only have two classes today - calc and ceramics, so needless to say, I've got a little free time on my hands. Since we get a syllabus in every class that goes out at LEAST as far as a month ahead, I can work on the entire next week's homework and check it all off a week ahead of time. If it slips a day, oh well, I've got plenty of time to make up for it. A normal weekend has yet to make itself apparent yet on this campus, as there has either been personal or campus-wide plans both weekends I've been down here.
Today's quote of the day comes to us from William Blake (whoever THAT is/was): "To generalize is to be an idiot."
Have a good week.
PS - I'm not sure what's going on with the CMFH...I can't even get to the site anymore...*shrug*
