The first week of school was painless enough. In fact, thanks to a magical schedule that only requires me to be on campus four days out of the week, my first week of school is nearly over. (Don’t get me wrong here; having class only four out of seven days simply translates into more time for the darkroom.)
The darkroom doesn’t open until Monday, so I should have plenty of time to read the first five chapters of Axelrod & Cooper’s Guide to Concise Writing (3rd ed.). It’s been a long time since I’ve been enrolled in any kind of writing class. The instructor of my English 102 “Reasoning, Research, and Writing” class has assigned two extra chapters for those of us that haven’t taken a writing class in a while. The review for the textbook isn’t impressive. I hope I can get through the materials and up to speed quickly. I really want to gain value from this class.
I’m going to be joining another conference call with the ACLU today at noon, and should hear more about their efforts regarding the USA PATRIOT Act. My Studio Photography class only meets on Thursday at 12:30, and this is the first one, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to catch the whole meeting.
