Week 1: Famous Last Words

(A sad but true depiction of me during week one. I found this on google.)

It's nearly Monday, which means the start of week two. I know you guys are reading this, but I just frowned at the thought of the weekend of being over. My first week of classes was a bit...rough? I decided to take 6 classes this semester (one class is capstone) and reality just hit me with the insane amount of readings I have to do. My goal is to stay ahead. We will see how long that will last. I refuse to leave my spot on campus until I am done with most of week two for this class! The need to do work for this class also stems from excitement to work with the material. I really enjoy writing and I think this class was a perfect choice to work on my writing skills. I want to get better at story telling, so I look forward to those posts the most.

Other than the insane amount of readings, my classes seem pretty good! This class and my German Thought and Culture class are the ones I am most excited about. I really enjoy reading stories from other cultures because I think they are good representations of some portion of a culture. Hopefully these classes will give me a holistic perspective of cultures I do not know much about. Perhaps I can use these two classes to find common tropes that may appear in literature.

Tomorrow will be a bit nerve wrecking because I start my internship bright and early at 8am. Wish me luck! I will need it, in addition to coffee. On the bright side, my boyfriend is coming to visit Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon! Woo! I am so excited. He lives all the way back home in Richmond, Virginia. Perhaps week two of the semester will be a pick me up in comparison to week one!
