Well the first week back is overrr. I always hate the first few days of classes. It always seems so slow. We go over the syllabus and then what? Thankfully most of my teachers were cool and let us out early. I really liked all of my classes. I think it’s going to be fun and challenging all at the same time. Challenging. Oh joy.
Anatomy
This is definitely going to be my toughest class. In addition to the lecture part, there is a lab. Oh and for the tests, they are free response. No multiple choice. Even better: spelling counts. Efff. Who sucks at spelling?? This girl. We had our first official lecture yesterday (Thursday) and the teacher went SO fast. I have never written so fast in my life. Not only does she go really fast but the words are super long and hard to spell (that’s gonna be great when test time rolls around…not). Right after the lecture, I have lab. For now, no bodies to look at (and trust me…I am not complaining about that). We were looking at slides of tissue and it wasn’t too bad. We got to color. That was fun. And then I looked back and saw the metal boxes where the bodies are held. That wasn’t so fun.
In addition to this Anatomy class, I am taking a SI (supplemental instruction) class which is basically just more review. There are going to be diagrams, charts, practice tests, and all that good stuff. In addition to even that, they have open labs every Thursday for MORE review. I’ll most likely go to those too. It’s definitely going to be a challenging class. I’m excited but nervous for it all at the same time. It will be interesting, that’s for sure! (Interesting. As in interesting to see if I pass out or not.)
Kinesiology
This is a pretty simple class. It’s required by all kinesiology majors and it’s just to basically make sure it’s what the person wants to do with their life. We’re gonna talk about what kinesiology is and all the jobs that are involved. The only downside is that the classroom is really small. And the class size is really big.
Econ
The teacher in this class is a little hard to understand. But at least he’s funny. We only meet in the classroom once a week (Wednesdays). Then on Mondays, we have an online quiz. It shouldn’t be too bad. JK I hate econ.
Swimming
Easy peasy. It’s a credit/no credit class. We meet twice a week for 50 minutes. Basically you can splash around in the pool for those 50 minutes and still pass the class.
History (online)
Since it sucked getting classes this semester, I am also taking one online at the community college where I live. Then I will transfer those credits to the school I’m at now. It’s “History of the World from 1750.” Since it’s online, I can use Google. For Googling stuff about cats. Duhhh. I would never endorse cheating.
What’s your favorite subject?
Your classes sound so fun! That’s probably because I’m obsessed with A&P and Kinesiology though… I’m a bit of a nerd. Although anatomy of a cupcake might be even better!
Your classes sound so cool, I’m totally jealous of the swimming one! 😀 I feel like my semester is gonna be fun yet challenging too– we can do it!
Your classes sound interesting but really intense! You must have SO much homework!! Thank goodness I’m going into graphic design, I’m terrible at science 😉
Good luck with all of your classes 😀
Your classes sound cool but definitely challenging! This semester I’m in all upper-division classes even though I’m only a sophomore so I know they’ll be hard but at least I’m interested in them!
Those sound like great classes! My fav so far is psychology. 🙂
What year are you in?
I’m a freshman 🙂
Interesting classes,but definitely challenging! Good luck in advance,Haley! 😀
My favorite subject is French,I guess. I’m still going to school (9 more weeks! 😛 ),so I don’t have such cool subjects as you do…
I like your classes =)
I did enginneer, and my favorite classes were maths (weird huh ?? )
Anatomy sounds tough but really cool!
My favourite class this semester is definitely Nutrition of Physical Activity. It barely feels like school to me because I’m SO interested in it. 😀
I loved anatomy! It was hard for sure, but it was such a fascinating class. I have to admit the first time I saw the “box with the bodies” and then actually SAW the cadavers I got queasy and felt weak. After that I was all in there touching and moving muscles to get a closer look. You’ll love it.
Your classes sound really interesting! I took anatomy and physiology last year, and while it was tough, it was fascinating at the same time. Just a whole lot of memorization but also understanding of the bodily functions and systems. I can’t wait to hear what you think about it!
Anatomy sounds not fun. Your classes sound awesome though!
Glad you made it through your first week Haley! Anatomy IS tough..make sure you read the book and don’t fall behind. The good thing is that it is all pretty much memorization so if you just memorize what you need to, you should be fine! 🙂
Ahh I feel ya on anatomy! I just took that last semester! It is rough! Especially the spelling, I do not understand why they much so much emphasis on spelling every word right! I’m sure you will do great though! It is pretty interesting once you can get over the stressfulness of it all! haha
Good luck! 🙂
