I'm learning!
First week of the last year of school is finished. The beginning of the end is the beginning...of new things!

So Mondays and Wednesdays I have Culture and Psychology. It's a third year course, comprised of lectures, lectures, and more lectures. These are the boring types of lectures, where the prof blabbers on and could really care less what we're doing - I'm pretty sure the entire class has fallen asleep half-way through. When someone else does speak up, its like the entire room comes alive because oh my god a different voice.
It's not that he's a bad prof or the material's boring (well it showed promise, we're just currently refreshing shit from data analysis and research methods, which makes me want to bang my head againt the nearest flat surface I can find) but I really wish the class was organized some other way.
Monday night is my online class, Buddhism in South-east Asia (otherwise known as Theravada Buddhism). Only had the intro class so far, but we looked at a bit of the known history of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, and talked about the four main aspects (they have a name that has slipped my mind atm and I'm too lazy to open my notes). That prof seems much more into it; he likes to make jokes and tell stories from his life so it's good. Assignments are also more broken up, so no 50% exams! Thank god.
Tuesday nights are my last class, Sex and Gender. It's a sociology course but tagged under women and gender studies as well; I was hoping it would be like the WGS intro course (everyone's gay or knows someone who's gay or has HARDCORE FEMINIST labeled on their forehead) but the fact it's mainly sociology-based makes it full of boring people. Uuuugh sociology.
Though I like the class so far! Not liking the ten minute presentations I'll have to give (only worth 5%? I've skipped projects worth more!) but I'm excited for the rest of it.
Provided my textbook ever arrives......
Time for more homework. It's going to get sooo much worse when all my books arrive, so I'm trying to finish what I've got fast. Which would be easier if my books weren't e-textbooks, so facebook is just a click away...
BUT I saved $80 buying two textbooks in online form! And no worries about having to resell them or lug them around, they're on the laptop! Muwahahah! If only the online place had sold aaaaaall the textbooks I needed...
