school

School started yesterday, along with a snowstorm that is still going on.

My classes seem good so far. It turns out I didn't sign up for the magazine editing section of the Genre and Substantive editing class, but rather I signed up for the technical editing section. I was disappointed, but I think I might enjoy it after all. It's funny really--I had been avoiding technical editing (apart from being on a technical writing publication) and now it has caught up to me. But finding a job in the technical editing field should not be too difficult, and I found out that my French skills may become useful. Technical editing also seems to be the most profitable field of editing. And if I don't like it, well it's another skill I'll have.

I had four classes yesterday from 9-1 and then I was done. I don't have any classes today or on Thursday, so I'm trying to make use of my time by doing homework.

Last night, two of my roommates and I went to the Smith Fieldhouse track. They ran and I powerwalked. My knees don't like me when I run. We walked to the fieldhouse in the snow. Talk about dedication. It was worth it.
