My schedule this fall quarter leaves a lot to be desired. Namely, waking up after 8AM. Textbooks also cost over $400 this time, which certainly encourages me to sell them back towards the end of classes. However, I am already enjoying my German I class after only two sessions. My professor is adamant in reviewing everything we’ve learned before moving on, which is a huuuge plus. My Spanish teachers in high school had this nasty habit of teaching us terms, forgetting about them, and then testing us on them weeks later. This is not to say that my German class doesn’t make me feel like I’m still in high school though! The class size is fairly small and I’m pretty sure that it is comprised of a lot of freshmen. I asked my friend Margot if she thought our classmates were younger than us, to which she responded, “Well they have that deer-in-the-headlights look…”
It’s amusing to compare my time here to last year because the first day of classes as a freshman nearly gave me a heart attack. Now my friends and I act like we own the place, despite still being totally clueless about a lot of things.
