this could be the very moment that i'm aware i'm alive
Two things that I've learned so far regarding ASP: Nametags and fruit breaks are Serious Business.

I really like my classes. Ancient Greece is a lot of fun; right now we're doing an overview on the gods and creation, along with learning the Greek alphabet. I can transliterate things from Greek to English now. Our intern is really big into languages as far as I can tell, so we're going to be doing a bit of learning the language as well, which is good for me the language lover. Today we were talking about exciting things such as how Kronos castrated Ouranos with a sickle, and how Freud's theories relate to mythology (which includes how apparently every woman wants a penis and men are afraid of women because of "vagina denta" which means vagina with teeth. Oh, the images there.)

My other class is Writing Workshop. in which we prepare to do lots of personal writing (to have stuff prepared for writing college application essays). We had to read an article last night and discuss the argument that the writer makes, so I totally put on my AP English hat and was all RHETORICAL ANALYSIS FTW! (Speaking of English, I got a 93 on my final, yay! Not quite sure how that happened...)

Also, many people have decided that the St. Paul's campus = Hogwarts. It totally is, though, except there are no house-elves and ghosts and we can't do magic. There's even a kid named Harry Potter in the program. There's also a kid who apparently looks like Edward Cullen according to a girl in my dorm. It's a magical place here at SPS ASP.
