Classes Start

First off, it is soo weird to start now knowing that every1 at smcm has already been in class for 4 weeks already. The class system here is soo weeird. Well really, its actually only confusing for visiting students, which is just kinda stupid. So this week we go to all the classes but you don't register till next week. I mean ya, that's not that confusing and it's nice cause it's kinda like Haverford where you can test out the classes but at the same time they tell you the timetables change so that isn't necessary the time it will be. The professors however, called lecturers here - professors is only for the department head - all imply that those are the final times.

Then going on to language classes. They base them off of when everyone is free which is cool, but what makes no sense is that you have to give them your schedule before you register for all your classes. So like technically your schedule could change?? Oy gevalt.

Monday I didn't end up having my class because it got canceled and isn't starting till the first week of october. It's a Biology of Marine Mammals class and she wants to wait till the seniors get back. They went to Scotland for a fieldcourse yesterday and won't be back till next week. So I ended up wandering the campus for FOUR HOURS!!! I went to a bunch of different departments and found where my Mar. Mamls class would be. This is a picture off a bridge I cross to get to class and then through the park.

It's a swan! I know they're mean but I like them! And it was a pretty picture.

How I get to my Biology of Marine Mammals class - not having it for 2 weeks though :(

I actually met 2 french girls yesterday on my tour of the library haha. I went to dinner w/ them and one of their other french friends last night (at the BK lounge - that's Burger King for you non Dane Cook ppl) and then we hung out at a Pub. It was nice finally getting to know other ppl. At the Pub, their 3 other french friends were there so I met them as well as a german dude and 3 American Law students. I know, kinda random but really, like it was just nice hanging w/ nicer ppl. Got home at midnight and went to class at noon today. Oh ya, haha on Mondays I don't start class till 2! My earliest is actually tmr at 10.

So its funny because the amount of Subway stores here is almost like our Starbucks. There are 2 in about 5 min. walking distance as well as McDonalds. They also have Burger King, Hillbillies (fried chicken) but don't go there cause you get food poisining.

I have more to tell but this is getting long so I'll save it for tmr! Toodles.
