It Continues....

Hello everyone. So as the end of the year approaches quickly I figure that I had better finish posting my reviews so I can do my special tribute post to cap it all off. So, what was going on in my life this time last year. Well I broke up Susy, which was really hard to do. Hurting people you really care about is something that really sucks but being honest with people you care about is super important. I still feel bad when I think back about how hard it was for her after we broke up, it was hard for me too. I did the best I could to be a good friend and be there and I am glad that we still talk once and awhile these days. Truthfully I am glad she has found someone that makes her happy and I wish them nothing but the best. That was the big event from spring semester of my junior year. Oh, and how could I forget the first ever Brad Coulombe challenge which the dirty danzas won in a landslide victory. So many stupid, painful, and embarrassing things done for pride and bragging rights. I will miss taking part in the challenge next year or maybe I will bring it with me where ever it is that I end up. Unfortunately I still have no idea where that will be. Anywayz here is the class rundown for the spring semester of my junior year.


Hist 3103 Medieval Europe Prof Jennifer Deane

This guys was pretty cool. I would admit I really kinda half assed my way through it though. I was kinda bummed for most of the semester and ended up skipping this class a fair bit. I think if I had gone to class more awake and ready to learn I would have gotten a lot more out of this class. Admittedly my lack of effort and enthusiasm is completely my fault. Jenn is really good prof who knows her stuff and always made class interesting. Really good class that I regret skipping a lot. I give this class a B+.

Hum 1002 Norse Saga Prof Janet Erickson

This was my first ever 8 am and I told myself it would be my last. One of the big selling points of this class was that I got to take it with Patrick. Janet is an extremely intelligent prof who really really knows her stuff. That being said I also think she is borderline crazy lol. She is a really cool prof but she is very demanding for papers and tests and such. I really enjoyed the readings from this class since I am kind of a mythology buff. The only thing that was harder then the papers was actually getting up and going to this class every Tuesday and Thursday. One would think that with 2 alarms going off that Pat and I would always get up and go.....that person would be wrong. This class was cool but would have been much better if it had been later in the day. I give this class a B+.

Pol 3352 Modern Political Thought Prof Bill Hunt

Another Bill Hunt class. The funny thing about this class was that I stopped doing the readings about half way through the semester and just faked my way through the positions cards and the exams and I still got an A. Like I said in an earlier post Bill really just wants to his own ideas and values fed back to him. Part of winning is having a good strategy, and the strategy for defeating bill is easy. The vanilla gorilla downs bill hunt, the lewt=an A in the class.(such a wow nerd). I give this class a C.

Pol 3231 Con Law Prof Greg Thorson

This class was fun. Listening to Greg talk about a wide variety of civil liberties issues rather amused me. As usual Greg made this class fun and interesting. However, I really hate the clickers and the stupid ass wiki things he tried to implement in this course. Greg is definitely one of the more technologically advanced profs on this campus(more so then any of the computing services ppl) but some technology is just not good at enhancing the course. I give this course an A.


Well only 2 semesters left folks so stay tuned for the final 2. Remember I love each and everyone one of ya. Peace and much love.
