Humanities Is So Much Better Than Math

"Man is the measure of all things" ~Protagoras~

Today was my first day of Humanities class and I found it quite enjoyable. Of course we didn't really do much besides go over the syllabus but, we did discover that we do NOT have to learn and memorize dates! Which made me jump for joy. That is one reason why history and I do not get along....Dates, just can't remember them. The first book that we are going to read is called The Iliad. I'm sure millions of people have read it, but I am not one of them. I am a little excited since I haven't read any of the "classics". But then again I've heard from many people that these can be really dry and boring. I'm hoping this isn't the case. I guess it won't be so bad since we don't have to read the whole thing, but I think that I am going to attempt to read it, I want to like it....

Interesting fact of the day the main thing that society got from the Romans.....architecture and they invented cement!

Wish me luck on the reading!

About this blog

Over the course of the semester I will be writing, and keeping up with what we discuss in class. I'm already interested, but lets hope it keeps going.

About Me

My photo
I am currently a college student studying music education, and maybe family consumer science. I am pretty quiet but when you know me it's kind of hard to get me to shut up. I have an amazing family, and an even more amazing boyfriend. They support me in pretty much anything that I decide to do. I like to read, but haven't been reading much my first semester of college. I love movies, and I pretty much watch them all the time. I also love music. I play the alto saxophone and am learning the guitar. I can be really crafty and like to make things.
