Suddenly my schooling is somewhat normal

[garran]

Today[1] I went with David and Jeremy to see a production of Bye Bye Birdie whose flaws were not so endearing as ours were, and (for the first time in several years) a complete stranger complimented me on my hair.

I didn't end up taking the LET again, since the vast majority of classes available to me didn't require it. Rachel has politely explained to me that my initial plan to attempt six or seven classes was insane ("I said 'quirky'"), so I'm currently aiming for four:

Beginner's Japanese
Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy or Logic (I haven't decided yet)
Studying the Religions of the World
Introduction to Government Politics (So I'll be in at least one class that Marilee's in.)

On December 6th, I will be able to register.

[1] Though this is stretching the term.

Intro to Philosophy and Logic are both great classes, but I found myself having much more fun in Philosophy. Philosophy is far more abstract and has a great deal more to do with your own opinions and those of others. Logic is very textbook. There are right and wrong answers. The cool thing about Logic, though, is that it teaches you all the fallacies people use in their arguments, so that you can 1) learn not to make those mistakes yourself and formulate a stronger argument and 2) pick up on the fallacies in other people's arguments and blast holes in them.

So what I'm saying is, if you're looking for a class that will offer you thought and the chance to debate and discuss with your peers, take Intro to Philosophy. If you're looking for a class that will provide you with some extremely useful and valuable information, take Logic. They're both fantastic classes and your time will be well spent in either one of them.

That's exactly what I've suspected they'd be like, so I'm no closer to making a decision. Thanks, though. ^^;

How's your visit going?
