First Day of Classes

So summer is officially over and classes have begun. It is crazy, I know. My first class today was University 101 at 8 a.m. One of our students works for the Great American Cookie place, so she brought in this ginormous cookie with a Gamecock on it. Not exactly a nutriuous breakfast, but very delicious. The class did have 23 students, but one was a liberal arts major and since the class if for journalism majors, I think they changed. So with 22, we did the normal introducions and went over the syllabus. About 15 of the kids are living in the Journalism Living Learning Community where they all live on the same floor in Columbia Hall. It should be an interesting living situation. I then thought I had a class at 9:30, but it got moved to Monday Wednesday which just isn't cool.

I had some free time and then I headed to the SC Arts Commission for my first day interning. I am so excited about working there. Everyone is so nice and interested in so many different areas of the arts. I never realized how many people worked there and all the programs they have. There are so many opportunities to learn from working there. Then it was off to my last class today from 6 - 9 p.m. By that time in the evening, I really don't have much of an attention span and then the teacher isn't all that interesting, so it was a little tourtores and with the rainy weather, the ceiling leaked so that gave an added element to the class. The best thing that came of the class was that he told us we wouldn't have class the night of our home Thursday football game which is so exciting.
