I've gotta stop doing this whole "accidentally skip a day" thing. I set an alarm on my phone to remind me so no I have no excuse. :)
So first week of school. It actually turned out kind of better that I didn't write yesterday so I can write about ALL of my classes instead of just the ones I have on Mondays.
Japanese 201 ~ Damn am I not remembering a lot from last year. The vocabulary and kanji (which if you've been reading long enough you know I already have issues with) just seemed to disappear from memory. I'm sure once I start speaking more it'll come back, but these first few days have been frustrating to say the least. Luckily, I'm not the only one struggling, so that helps my self esteem a bit.
Gateway I and II ~ The registrar would let the Journalism department make an 8 credit course, so they broke it into two "separate classes" worth 4 credits each. It's really just one huge class. Though the class seems extremely intimidating, especially considering the 52 page course packet we received on the first day, it also seems like it's going to be fun. We pick one issue to focus on throughout the term (Body Image, Animal Population Control, stuff like that) and find four stories that are related to that issue to base our projects on. It's going to be A LOT of work, but I know we're going to learn a lot and have great portfolio stuff when we're done. I have a few ideas of what I want my issue to be, but until I'm 100% sure, I'm not posting anything.
Stretch and Flex ~ This class made me hate myself today. I have zero flexibility and it definitely showed. That's why I'm not dropping the class though - I NEED to get better. Plus there's a lot of core and I love core.
Pilates ~ I am loving Pilates. It's so relaxing so far... Plus more core :D I was expecting to do really poorly at the Burpies but I did pretty well (probably because they don't include the push up part). I made a Pilates friend today too so it should make working out more fun.
