Free Post and Other Class Writing

Today the NFL distributed the 08-09 schedules, which got me thinking about my beloved Packers and their fate this season. By now everyone is aware that Brett Favre will not be returning for next season. It’s going to be hard for me to see the Pack take the field without number 4 in the huddle. I haven’t known a Green Bay without him and now our future rests with Aaron Rodgers. I have never been a huge fan of his. I really don’t feel he has the talent to be a starting quarterback. Obviously it is not my decision and the Packers coaching staff think he can replace Favre effectively, but the season holds a lot of uncertainty. We have many young players left and they’ll be under the command of Rodgers. I question whether Rodger’s lack of experience will leave the young players without a leader on the field. Anyway, the season could go really well or really bad. I’ll have to watch the pre-season and make up my mind, but the one thing I do know, “We are going to beat da Bears!”
My other courses this semester don’t require much writing at all and over my college career this has been my most intensive writing course. I figured it would be going into it. In my Anthro. 104 class we write weekly summaries on assigned readings, nothing serious and especially not interesting by any means. The books we read are not my idea of stimulating reads and you can guess neither are my responses. My other classes don’t have any writing assignment so it’s been pretty nice. The only thing is that they require a good portion of my time for studying notes. Writing is a slow process for me. I sit down and analyze everything as I write it down. So a considerable amount of time I usually study with gets consumed in my writing. It’s not that I won’t sit down and do the work; it just takes more of my day than I’d like. On a positive note, I’m looking forward to writing my literary memoir. It should be a fun piece to finish out my college writing course career.
