Wow! The first week of school is already over. Time seems to fly by much faster in the spring semester. Does anyone else think this, too, or is it just me?
While the week went by quickly, I feel like I got a lot done. I wrote 8 blog posts (including this one), although I got a head start and wrote some last week. I've already started the first section of reading for this class and I can definitely say that 1) it was as good as I had hoped it would be and 2) this is probably my favorite class so far this semester. I know it's only the first week, but first impressions are important.
On the whole, I would say that I didn't necessarily have any bad experiences in my other classes, although I did almost fall asleep in my capstone class. That's what happens in evening classes, though! By 5 p.m., I want to be at home and in my comfy clothes already. I've never really had a late class before (it runs from 5:00 to 7:50), but thankfully I had a Coke with me and the sugar woke me up for the second half. I read the first chapter of my textbook for neurophysiology, which really sounds much scarier and difficult than it actually is. I also read the first unit for my Women Creating Social Change class and it was actually probably the most boring of all the reading I did this week. The first one was misleadingly funny; the last two were very dry and scholarly accounts of how social movements come about. So far I haven't noticed much overlap in my classes, but that sort of thing happens, if at all, a little later in the semester.
Turning to a non-school-related subject, I recently learned about a hilarious YouTube series that might be just the thing you need to relax and laugh a bit after the first week of school. It's called Google Translate Sings. If you haven't heard of it yet, basically this girl puts song lyrics into Google Translate and runs them through multiple languages. Then she translates them back into English and sings what comes out, which is usually very funny. I would recommend starting with Let it Go from Frozen (which I almost have memorized), but there's also Love is an Open Door, Do You Want to Build a Snowman, I'll Make a Man Out of You (from Mulan), Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, and much more. In fact, let me just leave the video down below for you so you don't even have to go to YouTube.
I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Shelby, I always feel like time flies by during the spring semester! And now that I am graduating in May, it feels like it is going by so much faster! I also think this is my favorite class this semester--I love the way this class is set up, and I really like the readings we can do. I hope your other classes get exciting and don't make you fall asleep now that you're past the first week. And I LOVED the YouTube video, as well as the picture at the end. Definitely made me chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteMajor props for the little picture at the end. I can relate. Also, the time has totally filed. It's my senior year and I don't even know what happened to this year. I think that it is so easy to be busy p, instead of take the time to look around at what is happening to us and around us. Also, the videos you linked to were golden!
