New English Class

Got my syllabus for my new English class today. Looks like some busy work, I have to write a paper but there is a bunch of stuff before then. Pads the grade I guess. Unfortunately some of it is responding to others so I can't just do it all at once. I'll get as much of it as I can get done this week before I take off.

I have to write a "Write a persuasive, thoroughly researched argumentative essay" of 8 to 12 pages. I don't know what I"m going to do yet, it's tempting to just recycle the term paper I wrote last March, but I think that may be against the rules, and most certainly unethical.

So I have to argue a position. Normally, I've been told, it's good to pick a topic that relates to my chosen profession. I should really pick a chosen profession, it would make the decision on the paper easier ;)

I had a long talk with someone in the game industry the other night and it doesn't sound as bad as I remember it. I also learned some more in depth and complicated stuff about threads, which just reinforced that I have a long way to go, but it was interesting.

So a persuasive essay about something in the game industry. I'm going to have to think about it. It's going to be 97+ today so I may not get much done, but I can at least try to think =)
