Last few days have gone by in a wild blur. We finished up the first issue of the semester Monday night, filled with the usual suspects of controversy. As is typical with the paper, I'm sure we'll hear about it for quite some time.
I have to equate a DUI offense the same way the law does. To get behind the wheel while drunk is the equivalent of waving a loaded pistol around. You might not shoot somebody, but the possibility is there that it could (and in most cases, very likely) cause injury or death. I've been fortunate in life to have never lost a loved one to a drunk driver, but for the sake of those close to me who have, I take this position.
It took a few tries to get into a daily rhythm with all of the "adds" and "drops" I've done in the last few days. I think things are getting back to a regular pattern. So, after the dust settled, here is what I ended up with for my eighth semester in college:
| Class | Days | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Geology 111 | MWF | 9 a.m. |
| Geology Lab | Tu | 10 a.m. |
| History 121 | MWF | 11 a.m. |
| Accounting 300 | MWF | 12 p.m. |
| Music 111 | TuTh | 1 p.m. |
Of course, COMM 323 was turned into an independent study, so no getting up at 8 a.m. for me. I listed my expected GPA as a 3.25, which is certainly attainable.
I'm feeling a bit better than I did this time yesterday, when started this entry. I'm not sure what it is that I have that's given me the sore throat, joint pains, etc. All I know is that it needs to go away soon.
