| | Here comes a bunch of lists.
classes (as of now):
- Physics 4102 Classical Mechanics II
- Physics 3320 Electronics + Lab
- Physics 4300 Thermodynamics
- Economics 2105H Microeconomics
- Economics 2106H Macroeconomics
- Physics 3990 Electricity & Magnetism (tentative?) (I suppose the question mark there is redundant, unless I mean to imply that it is tentatively tentative. That requires a lot of tenacity though)
reading list:
over christmas break I read the following:
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- The Shining
 - North and South -Civil War novel. I'm a sucker for this genre. First in a trilogy, next two are Love and War and Heaven and Hell
- Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (so far) -read most of it, then had to gift wrap it
the following are in progress, or on the list:
- The Portable Atheist
 - A Confederacy of Dunces
 - The Road to Serfdom
- Love and War
- Heaven and Hell
- Will in the World -a Shakespeare "bio", more about England in his time, I think
- The Stand -supposed to be a masterpiece, by Stephen King. I read The Shining to get primed for it.
- Thirteen Moons -Charles Frazier's second novel, after Cold Mountain (itself a terrific Civil War book). looking forward to it
- The Broker -Yes, a John Grisham book. Like Stephen King, I had to find out for myself how he is, considering all his books are so popular. Didn't pay for it, found it at my grandparents house.
- The Onion's Greatest Reporting -favorite story so far: Value Of Psychic Phone Service Empirically Proven By Gary Coleman Endorsement
- Life of Pi -Was recommended long ago by a friend, haven't read it yet. Found it at my grandparent's house
- Into the Wild -Was a good movie. Received this as a gift
I think I am very good at making eclectic CD mixes. Here's the one I made for driving back to Athens yesterday. I'm particularly happy with this one. It doesn't really let up on good songs, and the shifts in style keep you interested. Notice the emphasis on Queen:
- Queen - The Prophet's Song
- Led Zeppelin - No Quarter
- John Lennon - Instant Karma!
- OMC - How Bizarre
- CSNY - Helpless
- Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris - Love Hurts
- Queen - Good Company
- Ringo Starr - Photograph
- Rockapella - The Longest Time
- Notorious BIG - Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
- Trentemoller - Sunstroke
- John Lee Hooker - Baby, Please Don't Go
- The Kingston Trio - Wreck of the John B
- The Who - Baba O'Riley
- Queen - Keep Yourself Alive
- Lipps, Inc. - Funkytown
- Dave Matthews Band - The Christmas Song
Jobs.
- The Campus Word. I'm a politics writer now. These people actually pay me for my thoughts.
- The Red & Black. Still on editorial board. I don't think the people at job #2 are supposed to know about job #1.
- Math tutor. I tutor privately, UGA students, and area high school students through a company. Good $$. Now if only I can just save some.
All told, looks like it will be a good semester, hopefully not too busy.
