The joys of first days...

This technically isn't the first day of class, but by now I've met for most of my classes. And the verdict is...okay, I guess. None of my classes will be spectacular, I think. In fact, one of them seems that it will be so mediocre that I'm contemplating dropping it to take another. I get the same credit for a class on volcanoes or one about music and math/order and beauty. I registered for the volcano class, but after going to the first class, I find myself questioning my interest in volcanoes. Well, I have a few days to decide, I suppose. I never really thought I'd switch classes, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like a serious possibility. Ah, well. People do it all the time...

For the most part, though, I think I'll enjoy my classes. For one of them, I'll be reading Chinese novels and Hindu scripture, among other things. It seems I stumbled into another religious studies class, quite by accident (It's offered as several different courses, including the history credit I need). I'm actually happy about it, though, because the world religion class I took last year was one of my favorites. Fitting right into the theme of religious tolerance is my journalism class, "Journalism Across Cultures." It should be interesting and challenging. I can only miss nine points all semester. So, yeah, fun... But my German class and writing center internship (Yay!) should make up for that.
