Like I promised, here’s a little update on my classes this semester. I’m only taking two, so I’m hoping I can pick up a part-time job as well to help out with finances. I want to save a few thousand dollars this year, but it just isn’t feasible unless I have a job too. That’s for a different post though!
I’m taking Tennessee history and French. I think my homework load is definitely going to be minimal, especially in the Tenneessee history class. So far it seems to be a little dry because of the lecture style of my professor. I will give him the benefit of the doubt since he is currently recovering from bronchitis.
I only have four grades in the class, so I have to do well on exams. It shouldn’t be a huge problem since my test anxiety has greatly reduced from its previous levels. I’m a lot more confident than I used to be about taking exams. Woot.
I love my French class, especially since I have the same teacher as I had last semester. I don’t enjoy the people as much this time around. There are a lot more people in this class (~25 versus the 11 of last semester). There are two women in my class from last semester, so I sit with them now and feel a lot more comfortable with speaking. It’s still difficult to really feel confident in a foreign language though.
You’ll notice the lack of a photography class. I personally feel like this is a good thing, but I’m sure others will disagree. I enjoy photography and I still want to spend my life doing it, but screw those classes. I can be a self-learner!
Strangely, I’ve had an easier time with talking to people in general and might be on my way to making a couple of friends. This is good news, haha.
It was quite a bit easier to return to school after a month-long break instead of a two year break. I didn’t want to go the first day, but now that I’m getting back into that routine, I’m feeling less “uggggh, do I have to?” about it.
Hopefully finding a job, even one that doesn’t pay the best, won’t be too difficult. I’m not looking to make a career out of whatever job I get. :)

Glad to hear your French class is getting better. I took french way back in college. I can still speak a little but not enough to converse anymore. I wish I would have stuck with it.
