Hello again everyone! I hope things are going well for you all. Classes are seeming to be a little more challenging this year than previous years. I'm taking 6 classes this year for starters unlike the past two years where I took 5 and that alone has made a big difference in my schedule. This year I have classes from 9:30 in the morning till 9:45 at night Monday and Wednesday. Those are long days! However, that means I only have two short classes on Thursday and no classes on Friday. I'm also able to fit work study into my Tuesday class schedule so after Wednesday night everything clears up for a nice weekend! I know a lot of people who schedule their weeks like this. This way they have a four day weekend every week. I can see why people like it, but it is definitely hectic for those three days and not really my style. At least its a good lesson to learn for the next time I make my schedule. The classes themselves are also pretty different. For one I'm taking into to Emerging Enterprises and Entrepreneurship. I've never taken a business class at college so I was a little nervous since math is definitely not one of my strengths, but it turned out I really like this class! The teacher is actually an incredibly successful business man who's only been teaching for 2 semesters now so he's right out of the field and really up to date with today's economic structure. It's also not as math focused and tedious as I pictured a business class to be. Instead we have a lot of lectures and discussions on the techniques behind starting a business and how things work out to be successful. I'm finding it to be pretty interesting stuff and definitely useful to my major since interior design is all about selling your ideas. Plus I hope to own my own firm someday so this minor will come in handy. I have that class later today actually. Thats the only thing I would change about it, it starts at 7 and goes to 9:30. Kind of late, but at least its only one day a week! Well until next time! Have a good week!
