So I'm re-reading my blog posts from this past year (and being completely horrified, since my professional writing class has taught me a lot about proper writing) and liked the one entry I did on the classes I took last semester. I want to do another, so I can remember it for years to come.
Spanish III: Honestly, the biggest joke of my life. The professor is from Spain and doesn't speak English very well, but it bothers her to speak Spanish slowly, so she ends up teaching in English. Which is incredibly helpful. Anyway, it's legitimately funny. I end up giggling at the silly things she has us go around the room saying (today, it was 'tengo las bananas, yo las tengo). 8 a.m. has never been so hilarious.
Public Speaking: For some reason, I'm always in a bad mood in this class. I think the professor just gives me bad vibes or something and I'm usually too snappy to really speak up, which is a bad thing for a public speaking class. Still unsure how this will commence but I've heard he's an easy grader.
Editing: Eh, it's mostly busy work but I'm learning a lot about publishing and editors. It's not so much on the grammar side, which is a bummer because I wasn't ever really taught the rules. The teacher is kind of a flake, too but easy to ignore. Basically, it's interesting material, but a rather boring class.
Professional Writing: this one will be a toughie. The professor is a very hard grader, but it's because she's so good at what she does. She is absolutely brilliant on all rules regarding writing and really just knows her stuff all around. Again, mostly busy work, but I actually try pretty hard to get a good grade.
Small Group: will be the death of me. I love the class, absolutely, but it's tough stuff. I know the professor pretty well, she's the advisor for Comm Club, and I adore her. The thing is, we only have 5 big projects, that we have to do in groups she assigned the first week. It's sort of the scariest thing in the world to count so heavily on 4 other people, but we'll see how this turns out. So far, though, it's my favorite class.
Okay, just wanted that for years to come. Goodnight!

What do you mean you were never taught the rules?! We went to all the same schools and had many of the same teachers and I know the rules... how can that be sister?!
