New Collection

I have decided to start a collection- not of anything material, but rather of grammatical errors. Most of you have probably heard my favorites from my students so far, but here are some of the gems I've collected this semester as a T.A. for Philosophy 201:

"Prometheus, a ravaging young man..."
"In fact, it was emphallically important."
"This was explained by Zuno (Xeno) in praise of his master Pearindes (Parmenides) in order to fight against the disparage."

Please feel free to add.

Happy All Saint's Day- Blog Resolves.

I have decided to try to make at least a weekly post on my blog. It is my new goal to do so. I am now 22 years old, give or take (I am not quite sure how crossing the international date line works with days). It has been a good year in lots of ways. I am taking four history classes- my favorite class is World War Two, which has lead to an interesting development. I am signed up for History 202 next semester- I don't feel like I should have to take it, especially considering I tested out of it and how easily I understand 201, but thus is the History Department. So I am signed up to take it from my World War II professor, Aaron Skabelund, who I like a lot. I just got an email from him asking if I wanted to be his T.A.- for History 202 next semester. I wrote to him and explained the situation- I am hoping he'll let me take the final immediately, so I can ace it and be his T.A., because I'd really like to be.
