Well, it can hardly be called a week. The one class that I'm taking now is only held 2 days a week--Monday and Wednesday. This past Monday was Memorial Day, so we only had class on Wednesday. I turned in 2 written assignments. I participated in class quite a bit again. That's an easy A for me--class participation.
About the work--one of the things that we had to do for homework was watch a couple of videos and write papers about them. The girl next to me confessed to me that they were boring. I basically agreed with her. But I don't think I minded the assignment quite as much as she did. Working some crappy job that you're essentially overqualified for while being paid pennies--that's really boring. Mind numbing. Soul killing. School isn't so bad.
I have to prepare now for my first quiz. This involves memorization. Memorization is somehow more intimidating to me than writing papers or participating in class. Either you know it or you don't. At least the artwork is fairly intersting--the great pyramids of Gizeh, Egypt, a snake goddess, and a few other things. The ancients were very expressive with their artwork. Wish me well on my quiz.

Absolutely, (the term 'memorization')reminds me of some seriously painful times in my life!
:D
Thanks, Beast. :)
I make and remake notes when I have to memorize. Rewriting and ordering information is a great way to keep things in order for you. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice. I'll try that. :)
Flash cards, flash cards, flash cards... You read it, then you write it, then you learn it by rote... works wonders for me! Good luck!!!
Thanks, Scoop. I have made flashcards. With all of this effort, I'd better remember these things.
History? History rocks. Just imagine you will get to see all those historic spots some day, it helps.
Yeah, that would be fun. :)
