School

Going into sophmore year at the University of Iowa. My freshman year was very nearly a disaster (the most important things I learned was that I don't want to major in anything related to computers, economics, or politics, and that everyone who lives in Mayflower dorm is a jerk), but at least I'm finally getting into more interesting classes. And not living in Mayflower. ^_^



To decode, I'm taking first year Japanese, Educational Psychology and Measurement, The Foundations of Communication, Accelerated Rhetoric, and a one-hour Conversational Chinese class. Educational Psychology and Measurement and The Foundations of Communication are two of the basic courses in what the University considers a teaching/education track, and the latter also fits in with journalism, which I have some interest in. Like all college students, I'm being forced to take Accelerated Rhetoric...don't ask why I didn't take it freshman year like everyone else, because I don't have a good answer. Japanese and Conversational Chinese should be self-explanatory, and I needed a one-hour course to fill in my schedule anyways.

How ya doing, buddy?
