A few more tidbits about how stuff is going

I just got offered the job I applied for in the biology department. Looks like I'll wash dishes for about 4 hours a week.

Chem 230 yesterday was weird. Hum and physics are full of freshmen who are frantically trying to build a web of community but don't actually have one yet. I walked into chem and after a few minutes listening to conversation around me realized "hey, most of these people are juniors and all of them know each other."

Phil 206 didn't impress me that much. I like my professor, and there's another argumentative chemistry major in the class. But the class is too big, and there are some people who seem to favor skepticism for its own sake too much, i.e. to the point of ignoring the obvious. The professor gave an overview of what we will cover, and none of the topics he brought up seemed very challenging or even unfamiliar to me. I thought about trying to take a different class, but I don't think I will, for the following reasons:

1. I can't find anything I like that wouldn't require juggling the conferences or labs of my other classes.
2. I don't really believe Reed College will teach a class so basic it's uninteresting.
3. There are papers, which means even if the content is boring, I can hone my critical skills on it.
