new semester.

i've been mia for quite a while, but in my own defense i've been a little busy.
the spring semester started almost three weeks ago and i'm finally getting into the swing of things. [took me long enough...i know]

my tuesday/thursdays are killer. i have class from 8 until 1:20 and again at 3:30 until 4:45. on tuesdays i work until 10. i make up for it though because i only have one class on monday/wednesday (at 2:00) and no class on friday! the one thing that i HATE about my schedule is the fact that i work from 9:00 until midnight on wednesday nights and then i have to wake up at 7:00 on thursday mornings. needless to say i am tuckered out by the time is thursday night rolls around.

i would consider myself very lucky because i really enjoy the majority of my classes. even though we're only three weeks in i've really been challenged to think outside the box. i'll give y'all a brief insight on some enlightening things i've learned so far:

PWAD 350--National and International Security
  • who doesn't want to learn about what kind of threat the christmas day underwear bomber was??
COMM 450--Media and Popular Culture
  • so fun! every class we talk about different artifacts presented to Americans on a daily basis [like facebook, blogs, mtv, etc.]
  • i've learned that i like Tim Tebow even less than i thought [which i will go in detail about in a later post]
  • we are forced to think about certain things in a certain manner by 'the big bad media'
COMM 224--Gender Communication
  • there is a difference between sex and gender
  • it isn't fair to judge someone that may view their sexuality differently than you do, they are people too. [yes i realize that may be a little controversial, but shouldn't we keep in mind that the Bible says to 'love thy neighbor'??
HIST 151--Western Civilization
  • when i come up with something that i have learned and actually enjoyed learning about i'll let y'all know
HIST 457--French Revolution
  • same goes for this one.
  • [i would enjoy the class a lot more if a socially awkward girl that interrupts EVERYTHING the prof says wasn't in there]
promise i'll be better about updating.
