The first classes are now done and they will be interesting, to say the least. A quick synopsis:
Art 100 will, quite honestly, suck. I'm not at all an art fan and the teacher just thinks she is the sun. She also has a very monotone voice and, when talking about art, will carry on forever. :(
English Lit will be great stuff. We start in the 1800's which is Dickens, Austen, and Bronte to name a few. :)
Shakespeare will be educational. The teacher is awesome (he is actually the teacher for all my classes except Art so it's great that I like him) and spent the day explaining all about Iambic Pentameter so I really do feel that I have a better grasp of it. But it has only been one day. :)
British Life & Culture will be good stuff. Today was a history of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. We'll be doing lots of trips and tours so I'm way excited about this class. :)
And I also went on an expedition today to find the Institute. Which I did locate but it's not open to hang out during the day like it is at home which is very sad because I was very much looking forward to being around people with cleaner mouths and who aren't constantly drinking. :(
Holy moly, this all sounds so exciting! Well, all of it except that monotone art teacher, been there my friend. I am filling a tinge of jealousy.
ReplyDeleteBummer about the institute, but cool about all the travelling and tours that you'll get to take. Make sure to take lots of pictures in Wales -- I've always wanted to go there ever since I was little and Dad read us that book about the Grey King when we lived in Mammoth Lakes. I don't remember the story, I just remember that it was set in Wales and I wanted to go there. Kinda weird what you remember from being a kid, huh?
ReplyDeletehey whats wrong with that? it's just like hanging out at work : )
