So far, school has been going fairly well. I’ve had a couple of weeks now and here are how my school is starting to pan out:

• Cell Biology/Cell Biology Lab: Hard but interesting. I’ve never taken a biology course before so this has been quite challenging. However, it is very interesting. First we started with atoms, then moved to molecules, and we just finished studying about water. It is a fascinating subject!

• Advanced English Composition: Hard but interesting. This class requires a lot of research and writing, but I like the professor a lot. I’m researching ways to circumvent China’s Golden Shield (great firewall of china). I’ve found a lot of interesting information and am looking forward to writing the papers.

• Databases: Moderate difficulty and interesting. I’ve worked with databases in the past and fortunately, the professor is letting us use MySQL (yay!). The material is very interesting and hopefully I’ll learn how to design better databases

• Classical Music Appreciation: Easy and interesting. I’m learning a lot about music and the various time periods of music. It’s a very fun class.

• Self Defense: Easy and fun. This is an interesting class and is a lot of fun. It’s quite easy, but then again, it’s only a 1 credit class

• Differential Equations: Painful but kind of interesting. This is my second time around with this class and already I’m struggling with the material. However, this professor is much better at explaining things and I’m understanding the material better than I did the first time around. If I work hard, I should be able to pass the class this time, but the always say the third time’s the charm

So, I’ve got some easy, lots of fun and some hard classes. But, the best part is that I’m almost DONE!
