- Music Theory I : This class, required for my Music Minor, is with the same teacher, at the same time, at the same location, as my Music Fundamentals class last semester. It should be pretty easy because of the similarity, but I'm looking forward to further expanding my musical knowledge through the learning.
- Intro to Journalism : This class seems like its going to become a great learning class. The professor is a journalist herself, and is interesting and informing as she talks through her class. It may end up being a little bit more work than anticipated, but I have never minded doing a little extra work for a teacher or professor that puts in the same amount of effort into his/her students.
- Practical Musicianship I : I truly had no idea what this class was about when I signed up for it, but, again, its for my Music Minor. I found out that the class is really just a prep class for learning and practicing all of the musical skills one would never learn in a normal class or rehearsal setting. Things like keeping pitch, multitasking, and purposefully focusing on weaknesses while performing are some of the things we'll work on.
- Intro to Literature : When this class first started, I couldn't stop thinking in my head how my teacher dressed like my Senior year British Literature teacher. And then she started talking. And then she made a joke (attempted). And then she started talking about assignments. This is when I made the following inference: my teacher from high school had reincarnated in my professors body and doesn't know it. Its kind of scary to watch, but at least I know what to expect from her teaching style.
- Comparative Family Systems : This class is going to be changing my view on life every single time I walk in. The teacher is so captivating and I don't think anyone has ever held my undivided attention for as long of a time as she did earlier today. The objective perspective she put on specific parts of life in just one class was mind-boggling, and I can't stop analyzing in my head now. Dangerous class...
- Christian Life, Faith, and Ministries : This class opened up with the professor, who is renowned on campus for teaching this class and is highly recommended by everyone on campus, spending about 40 minutes telling everyone that his class was extremely hard, if you care about your GPA you should leave now, and that unless you're willing to work your butt off, you should leave now with no regrets. He made a fantastic point about all of the harshness and about pushing a primarily freshmen class so stinking hard by talking about his 5-year-old daughter. With all of us soon becoming her doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, and teachers, why shouldn't he push us to become something more than we were previously? He probably said it better, and I really respect his opinion on pushing us as hard as I'm sure he will. Sadly, no one left because that would have been a story to tell for sure. After he did that and we went through the syllabus, he asked everyone to tell the class their name, where they came from, and the most exciting thing that has ever happened to them. From that point on, he was just purely amazing. Completely captivating when commenting on someone's most exciting event, and you can just see love he has in the Lord exuding from his every word. Literally.
Anywho, thats my class list of new classes for the upcoming semester. I can't believe I have such wonderful classes with professors that seem to be truly devoted to teaching and learning from the students. I am truly blessed to be here :)
