Duck!!!

Wow! Did you see that? That thing that almost hit you...
You're just lucky that I'm here. But, I know what you're thinking. "Big Man, how can you possibly save everyone?"

Well, I rely on my Super-DePiro powers. It is kind of like being Batman, but with no cape. Haha...I'm just kidding.

I feel a thousand percent better than last week. I had been typing so long that my eyes gave out on me and I had to wear glasses for like three days. My sleep schedule was a wreck. Dr. Rohlfe was willing to do some one-on-one time with me to help me understand some difficult concepts, which was way cool of him, but that's really how all the professors are here at MAC.

Now that we've finished discussing Christianity, we are studying Islam. I'm glad this is the last chapter because, like it or not, we all have some prejudice concerning the Muslim faith. The problem is that most of the things that we learn about Islam come from the news. I'm excited to learn about it in a sterile environment, to discover the true meaning of Islam. We are already only one day into the discussion, and there are already like four things that I had wrong in my head.

Learning is great! I just wished I liked math as much as I like the other subjects. I can sit and read a history book from front to back, but if I look at math problems, the decimals start jumping around and the fractions do like flippity-do's while I'm trying to concentrate. Well, guess I can tough it out for another week. I'm pleased that I am doing well in there.

Most of my most challenging assignments have been completed, and now it's time to prepare for finals. I know that some of you out there aren't that lucky. But cheer up, kiddies. One week left, then it's Christmas time. The campus is very beautiful -- blue and silver Christmas trees are everywhere in honor of the holiday and our official college colors.


Know enough, to know you know nothing at all...
DePiro Rules!
