Day 3 - First Day of Classes

Woke up in the morning around 7:30 to go for another 30minute jog on the treadmill was going to bike afterwards but I didn’t want to be late for my Global Studies class at 9:25. Turns out I had plenty of time to switch onto the bike so tomorrow I plan to bike and run before class. Any who, on to Global Studies! Sat with my roommates in the middle of the Union, all of us complaining how we didn’t want to have to start writing papers or taking exams. Much too our pleasure our Global Studies professor, Prof. Bowler, doesn’t want to grade any long papers or exams…so we’ll only be having one 3 page paper and 3 multiple choice exams J. Prof. Bowler’s lecture was pretty awesome. He’s a great teacher and is very funny. Learned a lot about how the past is not the past; that memories of what happened thousands of years ago are still on the surface of most minds in the Mediterranean. After GS I have Developmental Psych with Prof. Medora. She’s from India and has been on S@S once before. She’s very nice and seems to have a lot of experience in the field of child development. This will probably be my hardest class though…not college hard though, more like high school hard haha. My last class of the day was Comparative Health with Dr. Powers (Bob Powers). He’s my favorite of the 3 and has had an interesting life in the field of medicine. Look up his profile on semesteratsea.org. Sat with one of the girls who I met yesterday, Jen, and met another girl who is from Arlington, NY and knows Mr. Gatta (my favorite ACI I’ve had the pleasure of working with so far). Class ended at about 14:00 so I spent the rest of the day doing so readings, meeting a few people, and relaxing by the ocean…good day. O, almost forgot, saw two whales over starboard, no big deal.
