It starts.

The first day of class is such a waste. I really don't understand what professors are thinking. Do they think that we're incapable of reading a syllabus on our own? We're only in college, after all. Of course, I've only had one class, so there's still hope that the day won't be a total waste, but I really don't have any hope for it until my class in the evening, which is three hours long. We can't spend that whole time playing 'get to know everybody' and reading over the course description and expectations. I hope.

I used to like my class schedule, but now that I'm looking at wasting 6 hours here on campus with nothing to do, I'm not so sure about it. Perhaps I'll have to ride my bike to my first class, and return after my second one, so I only have to waste a little over three hours here. That might be doable, but I question whether it's a good choice once it starts raining.

Political philosophy should be fun, even if we won't be reading the historical philosophers that I know and love. I guess contemporary philosophy can't be too bad, right? I'll just have to stop myself from talking about Aristotle and Plato too much in class.

This past weekend I started a project that I'll probably be working on for years, but it should be fun. I've begun to scan all the random pictures that are all around the house. My mom doesn't scrapbook like some people out there, so we have a ton of pictures that just piled in boxes. I'm going to tackle those first, and then move on to the ones in albums, but those are mostly much older. Of course, the first step was to start scanning the pictures that I have from high school, college, and beyond, which I can now play with in Photoshop. Here's one of my favorites.
