done with classes for the week

August 31, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So I just finished my last thing this week, a discussion for Medieval Civilizations. Now it's time to start getting ready for USC football tomorrow, as we open up against the Spartans of San Jose State. I can't wait. Classes were interesting this week. I think they'll be decent. I'll post more about them later.

first class (part 2)

August 27, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So I just got back from Medieval Civilizations. It sounds like the class should be interesting. There are a lot of books for it, so I know I'll be reading a lot, but both the books and the professor seem interesting. Now I get to fool around until 5pm when I go to Spanish II. I'm not looking forward to that... No hablo espanol.

My first class, Medieval Civilizations, is in 20 minutes. Now we get to the other part of that whole "college" thing.

skateboarding

So today I went to Santa Monica and bought a skateboard. I needed a mode of transportation around campus, so I got a longboard for cruising. I'm not good. I haven't killed myself yet, though, so there's hope for me yet.

up and running

I just got a long enough ethernet cable to reach my computer, so I'm now officially up and running. I'll write more when I'm not so hungry... Right now it's definitely lunch time.
