An interesting year

I’ve only had 2 of my 4 classes so far (the other 2 come tomorrow) but I can tell it’s going to be an interesting year. . My first class today could be interesting if the prof is able to entertain us, lol. It’s European Integration…basically it’s all about the E.U. He admitted the book is technical and dry, but promises to make the class fun. Although, he did tell us that he has a cure for our insomnia, should we develop it…his dissertation. I found that extremely funny. It’s a small class, so that should help.

My second class was Political Parties and Interest Groups. This will be a fun class, I think. There is a good mix of political views in the class which I think will help. It doesn’t seem to be one-sided at all. But the fun thing is that, in lieu of a term paper, we have to keep a blog. Well, that’s pretty easy for me since I already have one. So, expect to see more political entries for the duration of the year. The first half of the semester we’ll be talking about political parties in general. The second half we’ll be talking about interest groups and how they work with/against political parties. I really am looking forward to this class. It’s also a smaller class, only about 20 or so students, which I think will make it nice for discussions. My prof is very nice and also happens to be my advisor!

Hopefully tomorrow’s classes will be just as good. I have a “power hour” as my first class tomorrow, from 1:15 to 2:45. Yuck. I have a feeling it will be a huge lecture class. Not my favorite kind of class, but whaddaya gonna do?

And now it’s time to get the boys dinner. I’ll be back tomorrow to let y’all know how those classes go.
