school thus far

it is almost february so i thought i'd give my take on my classes thus far. as i am a month in already. i am actually happy with my classes, with the exception of one. i will start with my first class of the week

American Civilization.
i was pretty excited for this class, though i was a bit weary of it before going because american history isnt my strong point or my favorite period of time. but im really liking it so far. my teacher has a fun accent, hes from the south, and i enjoy listening to him speak. he teaches in a way that captures my attention and speaks directly to the students, he involves the students in his lecture, which makes the class all the more interesting. this class is very large, a nice stadium seating classroom. i was shocked when i walked in because i am used to normal sized classrooms with a normal high school amount of students. what i like about my teacher is that when he calls on us, he asks for our name so he can remember it, and he usually does a pretty good job in remembering peoples names. he is always joking and laughing about things, gets off topic sometimes but i like the topics he chooses to ramble on so i sometimes get frustrated when he gets back on topic cuz i want to know more about the off topic subject. as of right now, i am most definitely going to continute to take history classes. if you need to take american civilization, he is a really good teacher so i would, right now, recommend him.

English 1010.
i thought this class would be more interesting than it is. so far we havent really done anything, we spend an entire week looking at previous students' papers about the paper we were going to write. hes a funny guy but idk, we havent really done anything yet. he said something about a ten page paper...i wasnt sure if he was kidding because he kids a lot. but i will not be happy if i have to write a ten page paper or more. personally, i dont think the length of a paper should matter, it should be the quality of the paper that is more emphasized. come on, these teachers have to read and grade all these papers, why assign one that is so long that you will most definitely NOT READ ALL OF IT? or if you do, what a waste of time? honestly. teach me to write a good quality paper and not focus on how many pages. after all, most essays can be said in less than a paragraph. gosh. ok.

Human sexuality.
this is one of my more interesting classes. it is for my biology/chemistry credit. the first chapter was all history, i LOVED it. i actually did some of my own research on wiki to learn more about how other cultures and time periods viewed sexuality. right now we are on chapter 2 learning about parts and fuctions. usually im cool and collected while in class, it doesnt bother me to hear the terms or see pictures, but yesterday...my teacher taught us about the perineum. the skin between the vagina and anus. it is usually cut before the baby comes out during birth. so the babys head can come out. oh good gosh. i imagining the pain....adoption looks so much better every day. why oh why would i want to torment myself just to get a kid that looks like me? i'd rather, right now, get one pre made. but my teacher said it is better to have it surgically cut then torn from the babys head. OUCH OUCH OUCH. why oh why oh why did the baby have to come THAT way? why couldnt it have been the way i thought it was as a child? from the stomach, and they cut open the stomach and take the baby out, like a C-section but i was wrong about the stomach part, its actually a uterus. ha.

Audio Production (radio class)
the class itself is aight, mainly listening to radio dj's. but the getting one hour each week to be on the radio! yes yes yes! awweesome! it's so much fun. i do it with lisa and we're still n00bs but ts so much fun. we messed up yesterday but it was hilarious. you should definitely tune in on power 91's website, they have a link. every tuesday from 2-3 mountain time.

stats
sofjlskfj9urljfslkdfjsdofjslkfjsdlkfjslkfjsdlf boring boring boring

though, i got 100% on my quiz :) :) :) yay!

i think that is all of my classes...hmm..think think think. yes i think so.
so. it is so far going pretty well. it's fun. i enjoy it. :)

English 1010 does indeed require a long paper, usually around 10 pages. Just wait until English 2010. Those papers are even longer, more towards the 20 page length. IT SUCKS. I am writing a 20 pager right now. sucky suck suck suck.
