This being my first week of college ever, I was surprised at how easy the classes seemed. It's possibly because it was just the first week, but then again, it's also possible that they're trying to lull me into a false sense of security. I don't know exactly what to think. Anyways, I have two conventional college classes, and one online class. Here's a summary of them.
Western Civ - The teacher's name is J. T. Ripper, but he's actually a pretty nice guy. He was kind enough to have us buy the cheapest textbook on campus. It was only $30; less than $20 if used. It's just a large collection of large essays on various subjects relating to the course's subject. Most of the homework is just reading an essay from it, and also reading a bunch of stuff online, so we'll be able to go to class the next day ready to discuss it. There's also a big huge paper that's due in November, but it doesn't worry me.
College Algebra - I practically took this course last year in high school, so I bet that 90% of the material will be review for me.
English 101 - This is my online class. It works differently than I expected. For one, there are discussion boards, where we discuss the readings we've read. The posts are graded. Another thing is that we have to set up a blog for the class. I got mine set up here. We also have the usual assortment of essays and stuff.
Sorry if this all seems rather undescriptive, but it's late and I want to go to sleep soon. At least I don't have seminary tomorrow...

Aren't you glad I had you set up a blog months ago...you are already a pro at it.
Do you want me to put a link to your new blog on mine?
You will do well as long as you avoid that false sense of security. Something tells me you are going to be posting to your blog more often.
I remember my first week of school. No money so I was eating Jr. Mints and orange juice. Not really great after having eaten at your mom's house for a couple of weeks...you have it so easy!
