Fall semester classes

It has just hit me that I am taking some of the last classes I will ever have to take in my life...I am getting nostalgic WAY too early!  You know how they say your college years just fly by?  I never really realized that was true until I was sitting at my desk making appointments with career services to figure out the rest of my life.  Where did freshman year go?!


This year I am taking 5 classes, all of which I enjoy.  That is the first time ever, and I am thankful that I have finally earned the credits to get into the classes I want!

First up is U.S. Foreign Policy (MWF 9:30-10:20).  That is a pretty self explanatory one, we are learning about the United States relations internationally after World War II.  The teacher is a little dry, but it is semi-interesting material so it keeps me awake.

Next is Composición (MWF 10:30-11:20).  My professor allowed me to take two Spanish classes at the same time which allowed me to take Composition.  Speaking wise I am years ahead of the other students, but we will see what happens when I actually have to write a paper.  My teacher is directly from Seville though, so I can already handle his accent which is nice!

Then comes Chinese (MWF 11:30-12:20), which is the meat in my language sandwich, squinched in between my two Spanish classes.  It is going to be incredibly difficult, especially since the professor is not very hands on, BUT I can already say hello, and what is your name, so maybe for the first week that is all that is important?  We'll see.  It is going to be challenging, but I do like a nice language challenge!  

Spanish Literature (MW 1:00-2:15) is with my favorite professor (who allowed me to take the two at the same time) and I really enjoy talking in Spanish the whole time, and just being able to handle it.  The class itself is really just an English class, but in Spanish (meaning we are learning about the different genres of lit etc).

Last but not least is Humanities II (TR 8:05-9:45).  The professor is hilarious, the material is interesting so far (Locke and Hobbes).  It is very early however, and a little longer than my average class, so it is nice that the professor is energetic and tries to keep us engaged.  


Phew!  Well that is enough boring things for you, sorry, but I know you MIGHT be interested!
