As you can tell I'm frustrated. After 3 blackouts this past week I finally figured out what was wrong with my internet connection: my cat had chewed clean through the phone cord. The first thing I tried to do once I got this all fixed was to set up my university email account since everybody keeps stressing how important it is. After numerous pages telling me my password had been retired (they do it every 70 days for "safety reasons"...curiously enough I only made a new student password about a month ago) and me trying to do something about it, they finally direct me to a page telling me I'll have to change my password at one of the library computers. Grr. While I'm ranting I might as well rag on my english class. I hate it. I got switched over to a teacher who's so soft spoken you can barely hear her and I swear she has no opinion on anything. Our first assignment was to read an excerpt from Plato's Republic and discuss it next class period. I got all excited thinking we were going to have a deep discussion like me and Puck used to have that I really miss now. We had nothing of the sort. Everyone had the same opinion. I was the only one who thank out of the box. I'm still bitter. Our newest assignment is to read one of Malcolm X's essays and write a respsonse to it. I'm going to have lots of fun with this.
