Registration for next semester has rolled around, and I'm very excited about my courses again. Last year, I had to meet so many introductory requirements that I would really only have one educational highlight a semester, but now I am excited about all of my classes. Hopefully, I'll be taking Introduction to Anthropology, Models of Development, Conservation Biology, DDR (a PE class!) and Beginning Spanish.
The only kink in my schedule has occurred because they moved around the times for the French classes, thus making it impossible for me to take Anthropology of Communication and Media, which I had been looking forward to. I'm very nervous about French next semester because I'll finally be leaving the linear 5-semester program and entering into the classes where there will be a variety of ability levels present. This semester is the first time I'll ever get less than an A in French, and my ego is not excited about the prospect of repeating this in the future.

Creative journeys in prose and poetry by Balzac, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Maria Krysinska, Senghor, Bonnefoy are read and topics of good and evil; racial and gender identity; love and intimacy; spiritual faith, and explored."
