first week is over.

Well, my first week of classes was better than expected. Haha. Actually I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Monday I didn't have class, that's just the way Simpson started.

Tuesday I had anthropology at 8 am and Spanish at 2 pm. The class periods on Tuesdays and Thursdays are longer than the other days of the week. It's supposed to equalize the amount of time in class.

Anyway, anthropology was quite interesting. It almost felt like a philosophy class. The professor looks a lot like this guy: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2537721344/nm0000125. Really. Especially in this photo. Here's the prof's photo on the Simpson site. http://www.simpson.edu/socialsciences/faculty/jones.html I don't think he really looks much like this photo.

Spanish was a class I was worried about, but when I got to class I felt a LOT better about it. We have to speak Spanish all the time but I have more vocabulary now, so I feel better about it. And the topic (history of central America) is rather interesting, so I think I will do okay in this class.

Wednesday was a very full day for me. I had Biblical Greek at 8, Ancient and Medieval Philosophy at 9, Biology at 11, Bio Lab at 2, and campus worship at 9 pm. Wednesdays will always be busy.

Biblical Greek was intimidating at first. I thought, "ack! Greek letters!" but I got them learned, and now I am reading words and able to translate some words! Yay! :) I've got a flash-card program called Anki that I am using to practice. It has helped a lot.

Philosophy was what I expected it would be. It's the same prof I had for philosophy last fall, and he's also my advisor, so I am not worried at all about this class. We discussed "Does God exist?" and "What is happiness?" "How is morality connected to happiness?"

Bio is not making me happy for two reasons. First, I have over 100 people in my class (a prof resigned last year and they haven't replaced him so they had to cram everyone in to the same class), and second, the lecturing prof and the lab prof are not the same person. The lab prof doesn't sit in on classes either. Yikes. However I feel like I am understanding the class thus far, and I will be going to SI on Tuesday nights.

Bio lab was fun, because we played a game. No point in explaining it but we competed and it was about evolution.

Thursday was basically a repeat of Tuesday and Friday was about the same as Wednesday except no lab.

Thus far this weekend I have been to Walmart, studied with a couple other people for Greek, and attempted to get even more organized.

Tomorrow I don't have class because it will be Labor Day. I would rather have a break in a few weeks, but whatever, a long weekend is kinda nice.

Well, back to working on getting organized.
