Course registration went smoothly. Except I was having a great amount of difficulty choosing which Humanities course to take. Should I take 'Readings in World Literature' because I loved writing commentaries? Or should I choose a more interesting and traditional course like 'Human Being and Citizen' which sounds absolutely amazing from all perspectives? Do I want to read contemprorary novels or Aristotle? In the end, I chose 'Human Being and Citizen,' not exactly sure that I was following my gut feeling, or that my instincts were clouded by other, less relevant conflicts. I regretted the choice on my first day class. My delightfully friendly Bulgarian graduate student lacked the critical skill needed to teach a basic core class: facilitating class discussions. Needless to say, this lack of enthusiasm quickly dampened any hope of being wowed and inspired for the remainder of the quarter. Those who listened to my disappointment explained to me that part of this let down stems from a lack of college class experiences. I needed to adapt to learning, college-style, and let go of my high school remniscents. Part of this problem was a lack of preparation and poor class structure. Essay assignments were handed out on a poorly designed topic that reached out too much and didn't focus on pertinent issues. There was too much to write about and too little to discuss. In the end, I ended up forfeiting an opportunity to pink-slip into another class, to my dismay.
