First of all, I want to thank everyone who has been praying
for me and keeping up with my blog. Your encouragement has meant so much! My
first day of classes went well, but it turned out to be quite different from US
university classes. I was expecting to be given a course handbook and
explanation of the class during the first lecture; however, on the contrary, I
sat down in my Psychology class and the lecturer just started in on her topic.
It turns out that in my psychology class, the lectures will consist of different
topics taught by different professors each day. I’m not sure I’ll ever meet the
course organizer who will determine my grade!
My logic class was similar in that we didn’t discuss the
class as a whole at all and instead delved right into some practice arguments.
It’s a very foreign topic right now to me, but I think that I will find it
fascinating!
I felt that I spent the majority of the afternoon in the
library asking every other student walking by a different question. I quickly
found out that it’s quite different here to find books, check out books, print,
access email, etc… I’m already on a first-name basis with IS Help Desk professionals.
I promise, it’s not just me, they couldn’t seem to figure out my computer
settings either!
Exhausted of studying, I decided to take on the gym. The gym
turned out to be my international experience for the day. As I peddled along on
my stationary bike and watched BBC, I gazed around the room at the different choices
of workout attire from different nationalities. As you may imagine (but I don’t
advise), many of the European men wore extremely tight and short shorts. Also
fascinating were the women who chose to wear quite fashionable polos as they
ran on the treadmill. I can only imagine what they must think of my workout
clothing choice of shorts and a white tshirtJ
