More diatribe about classes.
The third day of classes trundles on.
My Japanese class seems to be more challenging then it was last semester, which is what I want, but I got used to not having to ever think or worry about that class last semester. I'll do fine, but I want to do really well -- especially since I have such an interest in the language. This goes for Spanish as well. I need to be more resiliant about my studying habits this semester.
I had my Non-Western Art class today as well, which was actually fairly interesting. We've started talking about Native North American art, and a lot of the history behind that form of art being recognized. It's interesting. A problem I have though is that I don't have the texts for that class and both bookstores are out of them. I'll probably end up having to special order them, and hopefully I'll have them sometime next week (if not sooner!). For now I'll just have to borrow other copies and such, which shouldn't be too bad. I just hate relying on someone else for materials because there's such a pressure to get it back to them as soon as possible. Especially in a class like this with reading every week.
I'm really pumped about my American Literature class. I finished doing the reading for that yesterday -- I had to read parts of Emerson's Nature and Self-Reliance. There were a lot of really interesting points in Self-Reliance. I'm going to re-read a bunch of it tonight so everything is fresh in my mind for tomorrow. Or I'll wait until tomorrow and do it during the day. That might be best, so I can finish right before class starts.
This week is going horribly slow though, haha. I want it to be Friday already, oh man oh man.
Tonight I have dinner plans, then I have to read some stuff from a Reserved Book from the library for Non-Western Art, and that's about all. I mean of course I have to continue studying, but that's a given. Alright. Adios muchachos!
