First Week

The first week of classes was a little confusing. Not because of the material, but just trying to get registered and finding the class. The way it works is that there is a tutorial with every class. The tutorials are when you meet with a smaller group of students from the class and talk about what you are learning in more detail. At least that’s what I understand them to be like, I haven’t actually gone to one yet. All I really know is that the first time you try to register for them they are a lot harder than they need to be.
The classes themselves have been going just fine, though. Art may be the hardest class, because I do not know any of the terminology yet. I’m hoping that once I figure out the meaning of things like naturalism, realism, mannerism, etc. (the list is longer than you might think), I will be able to follow little easier. My English class should actually be fun. The professor is pretty funny and the books should be interesting to read. I mean the class is called Controversial Classics, so obviously they interested somebody at some point. Finally, Organic Chemistry is just Organic Chemistry. It really doesn’t change much no matter where you go. The first class was just review, and I should be just fine since I knew everything that was taught. The lab is a little different. Its twice a week and only goes until Easter break, which will make the last six weeks amazing. It will make Tuesday class from 11-1 and 2-6 to 11-1 and 2-3. And Thursday gets even better. Instead of class from 12-6, I only have class from 12-3. Like I said…exciting.
It looks like we brought the snow over with us, as well. It snowed about 2 inches over the past couple days, and that’s unusual for Aberdeen. My lab professor was even trying to rush us out as we were cleaning up because he didn’t want to get snowed in. I took a few pictures of my walk to campus everyday because it was really cool with the snow.
Tonight’s the Bobbin, they have a really good dinner special, and tomorrow we are going to go see a castle! It should be a good weekend. Hopefully it isn’t raining too much so I can take a lot of pictures.
