After a few weeks break from classes today I start a new semester. I'm on the usual start-of-semester high, enthusiastic about all the new stuff I'll be learning. (But not quite as much as usual because I still have a couple of papers from last semester I'm yet to complete!)
Today I have Contemporary Ethical Theories with Marcia Baron. She's well respected as an ethicist and the students speak very highly of her so I decided to take this class this year while she's teaching it. Looking at the reading I think I will enjoy it more than the abstract and abstruse meta-ethics class I took last semester.
Tomorrow I have Survey of the Philosophy of Science with Jordi Cat. I enjoyed his class last semester, as hard as it was. This twentieth-century material should be much closer to the HPS I learnt at UNSW but with Jordi I'm bound to learn plenty of new things.
Thursday is Survey of the History of Science Since 1750 with Jim Capshew and Sandy Gliboff. I think this one could be a lot of fun because it covers all sorts of sciences. The reading load is huge -- a book every week! Fortunately it's all secondary literature so it shouldn't be too dry.

Because this isn't meant to be a primary school writing task!
No, there's not much to do in Bloomington; especially not when "school" is out and all the students have gone home for the holiday season. Luckily I had three friends who are also international students and stayed in town so I wasn't alone for Xmas or New Year.
