One of the great mind destroyers of college education is the belief that if it's very complex, it's very profound

This was actually written at approximately 1:00 today. Didn't have a computer in front of me at the time.

I'm blogging low-tech today for two reasons. 1) I'm bored in class and 2) My laptop battery doesn't work so I have to have it plugged in to use it. Not very convenient when I'm trying to occupy my time in a class where I can't focus on the lecture. Ok. I confess I just listened to the professor because he literally stopped mid-sentence and went off on people coming to class late. He said doing so is "disruptive behavior" and he "won't tolerate it." Then he said if he noticed a pattern (meaning certain people being late more than twice) he would ask those students not to come back to class. Since this is college (for which we all pay tuition) I would like to know how he plans to influence people not to come back to class... Lower their grades? I just love professors who manage to be on a power trip because they are "in charge" of so much within their class. It's actually pretty laughable.

Today I went out between classes to meet Lauryn for coffee and browsing. I say "browsing" because "shopping" requires spending money, something we both don't have a lot of. We both purchased something at Borders but that doesn't really count because Lauryn had a gift card and my purchase was a gift for my mom selected from the bargain section. Anyway, it was really nice to escape for a few hours and spend some time with a friend. I've been so busy with school and work lately that many things have fallen by the wayside. Just look at the last time I posted an entry! However, I finally feel that I have my to-do list under control. My schedule is starting to actually feel manageable.

So here's the beginning of my attempt to increase the frequency of my posts... Hopefully this works!
