Classes

     Today was the first day of classes! The first day of class can be the most exciting and the most nerve wracking because you are getting a feel of the teacher, and what you need to do to get a good grade. I am taking 15 credits, 5 courses while abroad this semester. I am taking forensic psychology which I am looking forward to, because I love watching Law and Order: SVU and Dr. Wong's diagnosis of a patient and his explanations for their behavioral patterns. In this course we are going to focus on criminal psychology, different approaches to criminal psychology in the US vs UK, and different factors that may affect a verdict. I am taking a history class called Contemporary British Politics and the Modern World, and this class will be focusing on British politics through its history and the impact that Britain has had on the world as a whole. I am taking an english class called Interpreting Shakespeare and this class is awesome because what better place to study Shakespeare than in the city of London. We will be reading some of Shakespeare's plays, reading and analyzing the text, and seeing performances inspired by these plays.

     I am taking a sociology course which I am also very excited about because it's called Multicultural London. Who wouldn't be excited about a class like that! In this course we are going to focus on the local multi-cultural and multi-religious groups that reside in London. The final course i'm taking is a Communication and Rhetorical studies class called Leadership/Stewardship communication which will be focused on different styles of communication leaders have used as well as having the class work on and develop their own leadership styles. I am very excited about all the courses I am taking because even though some of them are outside of my comfort zone like the CRS class, I feel that this is a new experience and I am going to use this opportunity to better myself and grow more as an individual. I better get back to studying, I am trying to improve this semester in every way and I want to start doing that with my grades. Write you guys later!
