Summer Update
So, the summer class is going well, although this is possibly the most depressing paper topic I've ever had--Holocaust Survivor Syndrome in children. The whole course is pretty fucking depressing, really; good thing the professor's a riot during lecture. He came in the first day mocking us, calling us 'little bastards' in a way that we knew he was (mostly) kidding. He's got this great accent; he's Dutch, but been in the States long enough that it's flattened quite a bit.
Downside, though, is that the room we're in only has one (seriously, one) outlet, and it's at the back of the room. And since there's not a whiteboard, it's really hard to see the yellow chalk--the low lighting for the powerpoint doesn't exactly help.
Upside: I've finally learnt to type as fast as a professor talks, and more importantly, as fast as I think.
(I really hope I get this medication issue fixed very soon, though, because I want to finish my damn degree before I'm thirty.) </grumph>
