010. Classes and other cool academic stuff!

Time flies by when you’re having fun! Another week at school has come and gone, and I’m officially into the swing of things school-wise. Classes are going great (for now) and I’m actually slightly managing my time. I figured like many bloggers before me, I’d do  a run down of my impressions of my first term classes. Arts One is going pretty good. I just got back my first graded paper. Not bad for a first attempt, but of course, there is always room for improvement. My professor is amazing, the theme I chose is interesting and all the kids in my seminar seem super intelligent/cool. My Women’s Studies course is blowing my mind. Seriously. The topics we discuss and the things that I learn makes me think about everything around me so much. Everything from Aboriginal peoples and sexual violence, to first and second wave feminism; the stuff in this course is really heavy. Finally, my intro Psychology course is so interesting. I’m really glad I decided to choose my classes based on the professors and not the times because I ended up with a super cool prof. She’s hilarious and actually engages everyone in what we’re learning. I have my first midterm on Wednesday (wish me luck!), so we’ll see how it goes and if I’m cut out for this university thing.

Otherwise, things are going pretty swell. I’ve been getting involved as much as possible in rez and on/off campus. I love being involved, not only for the community feel that I get out of it, and the people I get to meet, but I also feel like I’m really contributing to something. I would definitely say that getting involved is the way to go. My high school experience was 10x better because of it, and I’m sure university will be 100x better (because as we know, everything that happens in university is 10x what happens in high school).

Things are pretty hectic still, and I’m yet to find an actual routine, but when I do the blog posts will definitely be coming a lot quicker than they have been. There are so many things that I could/should blog about, but life seems to be getting in the way. Anyway, I should get back to my piles and piles of reading (seriously, there is so much!) but I shall be back. Stay cool and make good choices y’all. Until next time…
