Untitled


I think every time I talk to someone in the family they ask me what classes I'm taking, so I might as well post it.

Introduction to Advertising
English Writing in the Social Sciences
New Testament
History 202
Introduction to Communications (Independent Study)

In addition, I need to prepare a 30-second video for my application in January. All my classes are going pretty well. I think I got the highest test score in my advertising and I feel like I did well on my History written exam. Next week I will take a test for New Testament and English. I'm on track to get good grades in all my classes.
The class that I am most worried about oddly enough is my independent study class. I've done well on all the quizzes and pretty good on the tests. I have finished the book and now I have 2 five-page papers, a written assignment, and another paper left (not including the final). I'm a little nervous because it all seems so subjective, and I receive next to no feedback or instruction from the professor. I've concluded that he's an idiot, because he doesn't keep his material up-to-date with the book. I informed him of three of his quizzes that were flawed, and he went back and fixed my score. I know that it's independent study, but I've never been so dissatisfied with a teacher.
And a final addition to this rant is that I've become more irritated. BYU has a lot of loud, annoying people. I can't escape them. Not even in the library. My home isn't quiet either, my house mate plays techno music at all hours. It's starting to go crazy. I wish I owned some noise-canceling headphones or something.
Sorry for writing all that, but it makes me feel better. Back to work.
