Last fall semester as an undergrad…

Well, the first week’s finally ended. It wasn’t as hectic as I had imagined, but then my expectations are often exaggerated.

Rhetoric, Law and Public Policy was painfully boring on the first day… but Thursday’s class was real heated: we ended up debating the merits of the No Child Left Behind Act and the anti-online poker gambling law.

Economic Development looks like it’ll be my toughest class. The professor doesn’t seem easy to please, but her grading scheme revolves around one midterm and one final (both of which are essay-based) so I should be relatively safe. Then again, it’s the only class I have which relies on two books and a ton of reading… I’ll give it a few weeks, but something tells me this’ll be bad news.

Privatization is gonna be the shit. Prager’s just as entertaining as he was in intermediate micro and this class genuinely fascinates me. He’s also relying on one midterm and one final (both are also essay/term paper-based) so I’m not particularly concerned with the grading.

Ownership and Corporate Control will be the most fun. It satisfies my quantitative inclinations and the professor seems very very promising… he’s really young, but that’s never been a good determinant of what an individual can do.

I met a few people that are likely to be my study buddies… excited about that… I have some readings that are due on Monday already, but it’s a welcome change to having little to no responsibilities over the entire summer.

Chris is taking me to the Modest Mouse concert tomorrow night at Williamsburgh. We’ll probably hit Steve’s apartment afterwards and play with the Wii until who knows when… although, I’m trying to get both of them to meet Whitney tomorrow night at her place in Queens… she’s having a “house party” of sorts. It’ll be young chicks galore for Steve and free booze for me. Then again, I don’t really feel like drinking. AUGC is starting in less than a week so I need to lay off the alcohol. Otherwise, I won’t have much of a voice to contribute to the choir.
