Classes

Good morning! Seeing as how my Spanish homework is already done, and I'm on campus, I believe it's a decent time for a article. Today's topic? Just my classes this semester.

Christian Controversies
In my ongoing quest to be a religion minor, this is 1 of 2 that should round out that mission. Thus far, it's been fun! Unfortunately, it's an 8 o'clock class, and even more unfortunate, we were given a choice of day to meet (the class is half online) and the religion majors- who have "long Wednesdays" voted to meet Monday morning... Despite this, the class has been enjoyable, and looks to be insightful. We're focusing mainly on the 20th century (and the few preceding it) which means it will be relevant for today rather than just the past.

Spanish 1
I took 3 years of Spanish before this. In 8th grade through 10th. We spent more time on verbs than nouns, and as such I can figure out the gist of a sentence even if I don't know all the words. This class is for people who "have had very little Spanish or no Spanish before", and while that isn't me, I'd rather get an A here than a C in Spanish 2 or intermediate Spanish. So far I feel like I'm way ahead- I understood everything from the first class, while most of the class was totally lost. My hope is to soak up all the spanish I learn now, and be able to speak consversationally after school, something I don't think is that unrealistic.

Old Testament
Henceforth known as "Hebrew Bible", is only fitting, since I had a class focusing on the sequel back at ASU. My knowledge of the Hebrew bible is much more limited than my knowledge of the New Testament. It seems like church always spent more time on the New Testament, and when covering the Old testament focused on more widely known parts (David, Noah, etc) than the more obscure books. Here's hoping I learn some worthwhile facts.

Film Studies
I was betting on this class to be fun, and it looks like I got what I wanted. My teacher held up an older edition of our textbook- and ironically enough, it was a book that I read back in 2006 when I worked at the library. I read our textbook for fun.

Political Philosophies
I may be the only upperclassman in this class. It's intro level, and it wasn't required (or offered) at ASU. The teacher asked who had already had methods, and surprise, just me out of 80 people. Looks like this might be fun though, philosophy was enjoyable, and we're discussing Locke and Hobbes again here.

And I did some research- I need 120 hours to graduate. I have 104 hours after this semester- but WAIT my AP credits still aren't applied to that, and depending on how they are counted, that's either 6 or 12. Meaning my last semester is either 10 hours, or just 2 classes.

Oh, and this whole article was composed and posted from my iPod. Photobucket App for the picture, notepad for most of the text, and safari of course for posting. Sure, it took a little longer than it would have on my laptop, and typing HTML is no fun, my iPod weighs around 4 ounces, and fits in my pocket.
