Week One in Humanities

Welcome to class! I'm excited about this class and this semester. I think we're going to do lots of interesting things, and I look forward to working with each of you.

The main thing you need to do this week is to get your textbook and get ready to get to work.

I would also like you to reply to this post with a few details about yourself. This will give a chance to practice using the blog before we try out any graded discussions on it. It will also give us a chance to get comfortable with one another and to get to know each other a little.

If you have any trouble getting started in the class or you have any questions, email me.

sonya sims, i've actually tried paints before among many types of drawing. I think paints were my most messy of drawings. Have you ever used coal or pastels? I rather like your long hair too, don't go cutting it to short!

Ehlonna says: Eric, Anime ROCKS! have you seen Trinity Blood yet? It's awesome! It has bishies, violence, AND vampires! YAAAAAAY! Bleach is pretty cool too. The humor is great and it's definately the first anime I've watched that has such an open lesbian character. @.@ How do you make time to play that many games?

Eric (APredator) Bloxsom said...

"Ehlonna says: Eric, Anime ROCKS!"

Weee! I have every single anime they have shown on Adult Swim on my computer since it started with Cowboy Bebop and Big O. I'm also loving the recent ones like Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist. As for game time, i normally run off 6 or less hours of sleep and i've been playing these mass amounts of games since age 2 with pacman. You watch any Eureka Seven?

Ehlonna says: I don't get Eureka Seven. It's probably because I missed some episodes, but it also irritates me. Why is everyone so WEEPY? I swear if someone invented a drinking game for each scene that the main character and Eureka started crying; all the players would succumb to alcohol poisoning...
