Just got out of my French class, which, despite last years debacle, is the next level up. I was feeling a little nervous about it just because last time had been such an ordeal, but the professor this time around couldn't be more different than the one I had last time. He's laid back, he jokes around, and he doesn't give you the Death Look if you say something incorrectly. He's even *ghasp* patient! I'm thinking it might actually be fun this time around, especially since I now understand better the aim of the course. They're not trying to teach me grammar rules and perfect spelling just yet. Right now we're focused on learning to speak. Kind of like when I was a kid learning english. Speak first, and then write... hmmmm... This will be interesting at any rate. And he's promised not to be too much of a stickler for spelling, which is good because last year our teacher didn't even cover spelling at all. I am pleased with this class so far.

Next class today is The Harlem Renaissance, which I so far have mixed feelings about, having looked at the syllabus. There's a writing journal involved. blegh. Writing Journal no make Stacy happy. Of course, according to the assignment the recommendation is only like 2-3 pages per week, double spaced, which isn't too bad, it just means I have to actually be somewhat consistent. I hate being consistent in school. I like doing really well in the begining and then slacking off later, only to have a marathon cram session at the end. It's just how I opperate. Of course, we only have one paper, 6-8 pages, and one group project, so maybe it won't be too bad. We'll see. I'm still a die-hard fan of Langston Hughes, and he's in damn near every book (of 7! 7 freaking books for one class... *mutters*.) I'll know better after I actually go whether or not I'm going to like this class.

So I feel like a dumbass about the whole pre-calc thing. The school fecked up and gave most of us the wrong room number, so about 12 of us were in the wrong classroom. So yeah, my attempt at math is off to a running start, and I'm stuck behind the finish line. I already have a freaking homework assignment. Lets hope I can find a way to not suck terribly at this. I'm really starting to get worried about it. I was looking at the pre-req's in the intro chapter, which, by the way, is 57 pages long(!), and I don't remember how to do half of it, and the prof has already skipped the whole damn thing. So now we're on chapter one and I'm just really hoping that I can pass this class with a decent grade. Not real confident so far.
