A welcome glimmer of light on Day 5
I feared the worst, but was prepared for the best and the best is what I received. Our Written Response Papers were handed back to us and—though mine is filled with his notes of philosophical correction and disagreement written in the margins—I got an “A.” My professor also made a few solid comments that I will embrace and use to make my writing better and my thoughts more concise.
This speaks very well of him and my future experiences in this class.
We also studied a bit on the types of communication incumbent in certain music and how Blues and Jazz exemplify democratic expression. We listened to a little Robert Johnson, Son House, and Billie Holiday—how can that be bad. A good grade on my paper, some good music thrown in, and we have the makings of a good day in school.
For now and tonight, dear reader, allow me to leave this post as completed. My head aches and the weariness of ten hours at the office and three hours in class is upon me.
Until next time, be well,

Class One, Day One, Before the Begining
6:15 PM, January 14, 2008
Well, today is my first day of class. I will return at a later date to talk about my efforts to actually re-enter Arizona State University after so long a departure. But I will foreshadow that blog a bit by simply saying that it was harder to get back into ASU than it was to get in the first time.
My first class starts in about 15 minutes and I must admit that I approach my return to University with a bunch of preconceptions and my fair share of biases. Most of those biases have to deal with the quality of the education I am to receive and expected biases I anticipate encountering. It is those biases that have prompted me to start this blog. Thus to document my thoughts as I experience them. It is worth stating that my fears were not assuaged by the selections of courses open to my chosen degree field (Communications)—most notable those of the “gender awareness” and “women’s studies” variety.
But I will give the college the benefit of my open mind. So here we go on this grand adventure. Stay tuned.
