Classes

So I'll really try not to sound like the teachers on Charlie Brown this time. I just thought I'd write about my classes. Overall, they're going well, but this is a semester of absolutes. I have my absolute favorite class that I've had so far, and I also have two classes that are probably some of my least favorites.
I guess I can start with the least favorites. I have one class that's Masterpieces of World Literature. It's for a general requirement, and the professor teaches in a way that's the exact opposite of my learning style. Also, I've already studied half the stuff that we're studying, so it's kind of boring. My way of learning is usually to quietly analyze the literature (by myself) and come up with a really cool response to it in papers. In this class, we're expected to get into groups and discuss our feelings about the literature. There's almost no analysis involved. It drives me crazy.
The other least favorite is my French class, Advanced French Composition. I would like the subject, but yet again, I don't really like the way the professor teaches. She gives a lot of really repetitive work that I would consider to be busy work. It uses just enough of the brain that I can't really do anything else, but not enough of the brain for me to actually learn what we're supposed to be learning. So I've decided that for the rest of the semester, I'm just going to do the busy work, since she gets mad when we don't, but then after that go back and devise my own lesson that actually will allow me to learn. I'll probably write little paragraphs or really short stories that use the vocabulary words and rules that we're learning, and that kind of thing. I'm hoping that that will help.
Then there's British Literature from 1950 to the Present. That class is pretty good. It's mostly just the typical English class, but I like it. It's interesting and keeps my attention, for the most part.
I'm also taking Mission Prep, and I'm learning a lot from that class. I'm mostly taking it because the professor is known throughout campus as being the best, and I'm glad that I took the class.
And now for the all-time favorite class - Creative Writing. This class is perfect for me. It pushes me to write and it allows me to do one of my favorite hobbies and call it homework. It's great.
So those are the classes that I'm taking this semester. I just hope that it goes well!
