1st week down
So, I just finished the first class of my second week of classes, and I thought I’d take a minute to jot down some thoughts about my first week.
I’m taking five classes—Intermediate Spanish II, Interpretation and Argument (theme: more human than human), Freshman Seminar (theme: human rights and global politics), Introduction to Astronomy, and Philosophy and Psychology. I don’t have any real lecture classes except for Astronomy (sort of), just bunches of little discussion-based classes that are heavy on pre-class reading.
It’s been an interesting transition getting used to how different everything is—classes, weather, living with new people… It’s been a huge change, to say the least. It’s all been really great, though. I’ve met some incredible people and have some pretty cool professors. There has been homework, though nothing overwhelming. I’m aware that may change pretty soon.
Went to my first party the other night. Didn’t drink (not really my scene), but had a lot of fun. I finished reading Perks of Being a Wallflower and Catcher in the Rye.
In other words, I’m in a different place with different people learning lots of new things, but I’m still me. I’m just me having some fun and a lot of new experiences.
