A New Semester

Well, kids, it's that time of year again.  The time when I let you know what classes I'm taking and when they are and bore you to tears with my schedule.  The exciting part about this semester is that... IT'S MY LAST ONE!  woo hoo!!!

So, here go:

On Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, I have one class.  It's called "Revolutions in Latin America" and a required class for my minor.  It's also a history course, so it includes lots and lots of reading.  It's already fairly interesting and we're digging into the Haitian Revolution, which I never even knew existed.  It goes from 9a until 10a.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my schedule is more than a bit busy.  With three classes on those days, for an hour and 15 minutes each, my brain is blown come 7:15p.  So, I've got a nice class called "Music of the Caribbean," which is a special topics course in Spanish.  It's with one of my favorite professors who, you can just tell, loves his job.  Next up is a political science course about politics and religion in Latin America.  It should be an interesting course.  Finishing my day is my final course in the Spanish major - the CAPSTONE.  In fact, by the end of the semester, because of this course, I will be an expert in the Spanish Civil War.  My professor is really excited about teaching this, so regardless of what I think, it should prove to be a good course.

In 3 1/2 short months, though, it will all be over.  I'll graduate.  Wow.
