Classes

I think my classes will go well this semester.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have organic chemistry lectures. My professor seems very nice, and I think it won’t be as bad as it’s supposed to be, especially since it isn’t even an honors section. The AI who runs my discussion section hasn’t impressed me thus far, but discussion is optional so I can always just decide not to show up. I’m giving him a few weeks, though.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have my other four classes. First is my class on the history and philosophy of science. My professor for that is a friendly Canadian guy who seems to enjoy the subject. Plus, we somehow got accidentally put into a computer lab, so we all get very comfy chairs.

Second is my honors differential equations class. Turns out that the honors section is just part of the normal class, and we just get a little extra material. The professor seems on top of things, but doesn’t seem very scintillating, at least yet. I suspect things will stay that way, but it isn’t terrible or anything.

Third, after a few hours in between, is my seminar, Origin and History of the Universe. The people in the class are really interesting and smart, and I really like the subject material (can you tell? I’m taking two similar courses…) so I think this will be a really great class.

My final class is History and Social Impact of Video Games. The professor is a nice guy who doesn’t seem to expect very much out of his students (I feel it’s a learned low expectation) except that they read the “textbook” (a book on the history of video games.
