Back at it

I've finished my first week of summer semester. I was a little concerned about taking two classes, but I'd forgotten how relaxed it can be in a general ed class. I've got 2 tests coming up on Tuesday, but I'm not really that worried about it. I'll admit, I'll have to do some brushing up before my World Civ II class because I'm just not used to the weird names and the different religions. I did have a taste of the religions (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, & Judaism) in World Civ I, so it's not that anything is new. I'm also familiar with the rise and fall of the Chinese dynasties; I'm just not sure where the knowledge comes from. However, it is my first taste of Japanese history which really is a lot like feudal Europe.

I love my World Civ professor's teaching style. She makes it so interesting and so not like reading a text book. It doesn't hurt that she has this fascinating accent which she explained to us the first day of class. She comes from Newfoundland, Canada which is primarily comprised of Irish immigrants. You can totally hear the Irish accent and it just thrills my ears.
My second class is art appreciation which I was not expecting to like. So far, I have been enjoying it. I especially like the Greek sculptures and architecture.

One thing I am not that thrilled about revisiting is the essay component that is required for all general ed classes. Give me multiple choice any day. I guess there must always be a stress component in every class.

At work, I'm back to supervising every day. My motivation for not supervising was to be able to leave early which is not happening these days with all the overtime we've been having. I decided that if I had to be there anyway, it really didn't matter if I was supervising or keying so I agreed to go back to full time.
