All gears are definitely switched into school and work mode. Just beginning the second week of classes I am feeling quite content, happy even, to be back in school. I honestly missed the demands of reading and writing as well as the pleasures of class lectures and discussions.
For those of you who are curious, I am taking Nutrition, Intro to Music, World Religions, and World Literature 1650 to present. These are just your regular old core classes, but it's so much fun to be introduced to all this new information. In Nutrition we are building our base for the semester by discussing the Daily Food Guides and nutritional recommendations set forth by the government and health experts.
This morning in World Lit we discussed A Modest Proposal by Jonathon Swift. My goodness! Who would want to eat babies?! The discussion was definitely rich and explored the reasons behind his writing this piece, which was originally a pamphlet. It definitely would have gotten my attention. Another thing to be happy about is that I know some of the other students in the class, in particular a friend of mine for many years. Sharing a class is a good excuse to get to see her more often.
And that pretty much measures my academic life to this point in the semester. Now I have to run to the bookstore and see if they have received a shipment of the books needed for said World Lit class lest I fall behind and post lots of frowny faces on here. For today, a happy face :)
