So for the first day of classes, this day has been so relaxed. We didn’t start until 10:30 (usually it’s 9:00 am), and our prof, Michael Duncan, was really casual and nice. We’re going over sustainable development this week, and he says he wants to focus more on discussion and not so much academia stuff. We do have a lot of work, but nothing today so far. So after class and lunch, we had a free day until dinnertime. Yay. And it was such a nice day that we all played football/monkey-in-the-middle in the backyard for awhile, then just relaxed. Feels like I’m slacking with nothing to do for the classes lol. Anela and I hung out awhile, got some good pics from her, talked for awhile. I’m really glad she’s on this trip with me. She’s such a sweetheart and I can relate to her well.
The evening classes with Prof. Duncan seem to be more interactive and a involve you a little more – we had a discussion on war with a follow up debate on pacifism vs. just war theory tonight; then he’s planning a movie for one night and some other interactive stuff that should make evening classes go by pretty fast. Homework load isn’t that hard this week, which was such a relief. I was worried we’d get overwhelmed with hw. Just a test and like 4 one-page papers this week. Not a whole lot considering the class is only this week.
And we leave for Samoa on Saturday! :D We tried singing some songs tonight that we have to sing in Samoa, and we definitely need practice – we sounded pretty bad lol.
