Had to pull myself out of bed just before 10am this morning to begin the arduous trek to French 202.  I really need to get better acquainted with the bus system, because at top walking speed it took about 15 minutes to get there.  The time and effort don’t bother me, but that long a walk is tedious and boring.  Especially in winter.  Regardless, I found the classroom a few minutes early, and luckily for me, my friend Matt from 201 was in the room.  I grabbed the empty seat next to him.  The teacher is a guy named Dawuda from Ghana.  The accent is slightly different than my last teacher (who was Russian), but not hard to understand.  He talked about the course for a while, and we did the typical introduction activity (Matt and another senior near us were also poli sci majors), and class was over.  I made the also-too-long trek to the ME building, and was one of the last people into the room for Intro to Philosophy.  The professor is in his 60s I’d say, with a long, unkempt beard, and equally long, equally unkempt gray hair.  He was, like my history professor, hilarious, slightly profane, and thought provoking, even on the first day.  One of his more memorable quotes was ~ “This is funny.  We’re at a good college, and all of you are supposed to be smart.  I ask you whether “4+4=8″ is true, and you’re all like ‘Shit, I don’t know!.’”  Good stuff.

As usual, sorry it was boring.
