The Spring Semester Begins

Ah.  Each semester brings new challenges with it.  Last semester was a nice "Getting Back Into The Groove" semester.  No major projects.  Just sit in class, take notes, ask a question or two, be visible to your professors, study, do your homework, etc.  Do that and get A's.  Not a bad semester.  This semester will be a bit more involved.  With higher numbers in the class classification comes higher standards.....just as I remember it. 

I had both of my classes this morning.  The first one is Geography 315: Geomorphology.  This class is taught by the head of the Geography department.  First thing we're given is a quiz (for our own purposes) about stuff we should know.  Ouch!  I have all the prerequisites for this class, but I definitely have my work cut out for me.  This is an advanced Physical Geography/Geology class and some of the background stuff is material I covered about 10 years ago at SWIC.  I'll definitely have to work at reviewing a lot of that material.  Otherwise, I really like the course subject and think this will be a cool class.  The professor really knows his stuff and is incredibly passionate about the course material which should make for a fun and interesting learning experience.

My other class is Geography 205: Human Geography.  This is a rather large overview class. Whereas Geo 315 is all Geography majors there are a lot of different majors represented by the students.  My interests definitely lie more in the Physical Geography area, but this could be a pretty interesting class.  It looks like there may be a bit of work for the course but nothing too major.

I just got to keep my head on straight and aim for another straight A semester.  I would literally freak out if that happened!  Here's to me freaking out!
