"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

First Day Back


Well, the first day of my second semester is coming to an end. Yes, I know I'm a college student but I think bed time will be soon tonight. It's been a long day.

In my Cross-Cultural journalism class, the professor asked how many kids were taking his class along with News. I raised my hand along with my fellow Sci & Ag J'ers (there are three or four of us) and over half of the rest of the class. We were duly informed that we were in for a tough semester.

Later in the day, my News professor asked the same question and told us pretty much the same thing. Add that to my other two writing classes- these the more traditional English Department's variety, and I'm in for a rough semester.

And fittingly, we talked about "resistance" today in my Intro to Creative Non-Fiction class. Resistance: the force that stops us from beginning to work on what we know we were meant to do. With four writing classes, I have a feeling I will have many battles with resistance. 

Up tomorrow: Introduction to Folklore Genres.

It'll be an interesting semester for sure!
