The term started a month ago. I'm taking a prerequisite for my major and Spanish. Just 2 classes. Thank goodness I only took 2 classes. Running a business, taking care of a child and life in general won't allow me to take much more of a work load right now. My first Spanish exam was a few days ago. I didn't have much confidence going in to the exam. I was hoping for at least a C. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I earned a B!
My prerequisite is being taught by someone who seems to lack confidence. He stands in front of the class with a stack of cue cards. He knows the material, but I suspect he's just not comfortable standing in front of a group and actually teaching. The text book is as bland and boring as is possible. Why oh why must professors make us struggle with boring crap?! There is plenty of interesting material on this topic. As a result the class is dull. Hopefully it will get more interesting as the semester moves onward.
My favorite art history professor is not teaching this semester. I suspect that he was either canned (docile he is not) or retired but I can't be sure. I noticed he didn't have any classes listed this semester. Actually, the classes that he normally teaches are listed with a different professor. This morning I swung by his office and there was a pile of garbage outside the door, right on top of which, were left over blank exams from Modern Art. I miss his classes. He was fantastic at forcing us to think outside the box on a multitude of issues. He is a true intellectual of the counter culture. I hope nothing happened to him; I hope he's alright.
On a side note, I'm toying with the idea of doing a minor in Women's Studies. I would only need to take 3 classes to get it though because a few of my core courses for my major would apply toward the minor. I've got plenty of time to think about it though. I'll probably wait at least a year before I make a definitive decision on it.
