Done with Tuesday classes for the rest of the year, its still November too!

Yup, thats right. No more classes will be held on Tuesdays for me this year. Tomorrow will be my last Wednesday classes and overall final classes to be held this year.

Asian History no more classes. Liked the class, but I've never be in an environment were there was so little respect for a professor. Unfortunately towards the end I stopped reading the material, since I knew none of them did, and I still knew more then them. Great class though, can't wait for the Final on Dec20th...(sooo late)

Chinese Philosophy is also over. Good thing to. Not because I didn't like the class, quite the contrary. I liked the material and understood the concepts well; although I couldn't say I was enlightened, that takes at least 3 classes on the topic... Its just that the 'group project' made my sense of Dao go out of whack. For our Presentation we got a 13of20pts, I got a 7of8 on my portion, meaning that they gave us 6of12, and their parts were easier. For the Research project we got a 22.5of30. Most of the marks being on their side, however I can't entirely blame them, after all, I did 85% of the work... for those whom read this, I have some information you should value: Quoting Wikipedia, removing the Hyperlinks, and saying its your work, not even giving a source, is Academic Dishonesty. It also does not constitute research, more along the lines of a 5min search, while others spend hours looking for a decent reference. It's not even legitimate work (since its the general info, not linked info at the bottom), but blatant stupidity. To say the least, it killed my interest and discouraged me for the last 1/3rd of the semester because of this. Failure to meet, cooperate, and otherwise really hurts, especially when unlike most people here my grades transfer back as is.

On a more positive note, heres some pics of other things, really just like showing this stuff to others (a continuation of yesterdays post)
