Joseph Capek is hereby added to my list of favorite people.

So its the beginning of another semester. I'm taking fewer classes and only working on campus, as my internship has been completed. My classes are:

Database I (for my major)
Music Lit I (for my minor)
Women's Glee (for my minor)
English 201 (generals)
Science Foundations (generals)

So far, each of my classes seems surprisingly challenging and fun. At this point, I enjoy each of them and see myself continuing to do so.

I live in a two person apartment this semester. For about the first half hour by myself it was eerily quiet, until I realized how much homework I could accomplish in this type of environment. All unease and discomfort quickly left as I sat and studied for hours without stopping. YAY!!! I am so happy! I finally have the perfect setting for the focus I require. If I can keep this type of environment I will do well and graduate in December as I hope.

My roommate is intelligent, mature, and like-minded concerning studying habits and many other things. I love her to death. Last night (we were up until 2 so the conversation lacked intellect by that point) through a comedy of errors she ended up saying she was an androgenous goat. We then found out what exactly that meant, but at least she wasn't androgynous. These are two very different things. We have great times, but there is plenty of studying accomplished as well. The TV's only been on once, when I took a break from studying on Friday night to watch G.I. Joe.

Life is good. The Tongue-Tied Tribble Team revealed themselves after I had accused half the CIT department's students and made a very elaborate attempt to falsely accuse a good friend, who was of course innocent. It resulted in a very entertaining day, however, and the perpetrators got far more mileage out of the incident than they had planned. It turned out to be one of my favorite stories.

Well, I'm just trying to get more in the habit of updating this, as I have fallen behind in my journal writing. Wish me luck.

Oh, PS: Joseph Capek is the Russian who coined the word, "Robot." His brother used the idea in his play, which was the first public appearance of robots or the idea anyways in the 1920's. To learn about it yourself, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot
