Sorry I haven’t updated my blog like I said I would… LOTS of homework. 😦
My classes for this fall are Islamic Traditions, French 301, and International Honors (IHON): 20th Century Origins of the Contemporary World (Mom really likes butchering the name of this class… lol). My favorite class is definitely Islamic Traditions. My professor is the same one I had for IHON during the fall of last year. She’s really fun and definitely knows what she’s talking about. I’m really glad to have her again. 🙂 My French class… has been alright. I was really scared about the class before the semester began, because I didn’t think I remembered anything and, when I tried to read a novel on our book list for the class, I couldn’t get through the first paragraph, let alone the first page. Luckily, she decided that that book was too hard and that we won’t actually be reading it this semester. The class has been at about the right level, not easy, but not overly difficult. My IHON class is pretty good, I suppose. My professor is from Britain, so he has a fun accent and pronounces things in a fun way. We have, though, had a great deal of reading for this class… 😦 200+ pages in one week at college is a lot… Also, we’ve only discussed what the world was like around the turn of the century and haven’t really gotten into the 20th century history part yet. It’ll be nice once we start that. For choir, I’m again in chorale this year. COW was made smaller this year and several people who had been in COW in the past were moved to chorale. Apparently there’s a shortage of tenors, so the numbers had to shift a bit in order to make the numbers more even.
So… yes. There is my life. Lots of homework, some clubs, etc.
