Either Side of the River

"On either side of the river lie, long rows of barley and of rye, that clothe the world and meet the sky, and through the field the road run by to many towered Camelot...." - Lord Alfred Tennyson's, The Lady of Shalott.

Intermediate Algebra (M, W, F) 9:00-9:50 am: An older woman with a sharp manner but kind eyes, when and if she chooses to smile. Claims to love joking around, but never once even attempted a joke. Her nature seems strict but her words were all uplifting and kind. Said she had a knack for working with people who didn't understand math (that made me happy) then she started teaching and I was lost.

Humans & the Environment: Nothing needs to be said because I dropped that class and replaced it with Archaeology.

Archaeology (M, W, F) 11:00-11:50 am: Will attend class Wednesday.

Concert Choir (M, W, F) 1:00-1:50 pm: Multiple teachers! Sue, Susan, a guy and the professor. Professor seems nice. Short little man with a shaved head and glasses that distort his facial features. Funny, very welcoming and a genuine smile. When he shakes hands with people he holds on for a long time and shakes rapidly. I'll enjoy his class.

Anthropology (T, Th) 8:00-9:15 am: A silvery grey haired man with glasses. Casual dress and a soft speaking voice. He tends to only speak to one side of the class, making it hard for the other side to hear him. Hard to tell about his personality because of the size of the lecture hall but he looks familiar... could I have seen him on the History Channel?

English Composition (T, Th) 9:30-10:45 am: A class of 20 students! Cute young teacher with a dazzling personality and a great smile! Wants us to call her by her first name. She's really funny and told the class she wants us to "write from our hearts." She doesn't want big fancy words, she wants us. And get this, she lives in Utah and flies herself to and from work in an airplane. "You should all get your pilot liscences! Its a trip up there!" She told us.

Intro to Theater (T, Th) 11:00 am-12:15 pm: An older woman with child-like features...She acts as though she has something she would much rather be doing than teaching us. Basically the entire class period was spent with her telling us we needed to help out the theater department by putting in 20 hours of behind the scenes work for the University productions. Obviously, we're just free slave labor. If we don't work we won't pass. Lots of reading and writing will be done in this class.

Social Dance (F) 7:00-9:00 pm: Will attend class Friday. So far, it's been getting in the way of mine and Andrea's road trip plans for the year.
