i am taking this class that is supposed to make me write better as an engineer. it’s called awd, advanced writing in the disciplines. yes, i also think that is a lame name. we have to write five good-sized papers the whole year and get a few weeks to work on each one.
my class today started at 9.15 so i woke up at 9.10. as i walked in the door the teacher was talking about how since nobody was prepared for class today (not me being late, apparently no one had brought their drafts to work on in class), she would just hand back the papers we had turned in last week and let the class have an open workshop (read: we can go if we want). so class started at 9.15, i got there at like 9.17, and was back out the door by 9.20. i was literally back in my apartment less that 15 minutes after i left to go to class. i have the best awd class ever.
with all of that free time, you know i used it productively. i watched mighty ducks three, hence the title of this post. well, i thought it was clever.
in other, not related, but ten times more awesome news, IT WAS SNOWING when i was walking to class. i’m walking to class, see flurries whirling around in the light breeze and say to myself ‘today is going to be a good day’. and you know what? i got out of class in 15 minutes. i got a b+ on a paper i had two weeks to research and write and instead wrote in 3 hours the morning it was due. i got to watch d3. i’m going to see lou dobbs tonight. today is in fact a good day.
peace
