Classes!

So, I have classes:

-The European World (1500-1700)
-English Social History (1500-1700)
-Religious Change in England, 1470-1558
-Georgian Britain (1700-1850)

A lot of British history, which is what I wanted. In my English Social History class, we're covering such cheerful topics as poverty, famine, the plague, crime, rebellion, riots, witchcraft...and London. ;)

I really like all my professors and seminar tutors (they're like TA's) so far. Everyone is nice and tries to be accomodating, considering I'm coming in around the middle of the course. It's a nice change not to have to spend 500 dollars on textbooks! I only hope I'll be able to get all of the material from the library, given that everyone in the class has the same reading list. I'm planning on buying one "textbook" per class online, just to always have as a reference.

For the most part, I'm happy with my schedule--no class on Fridays! That's never happened at UConn before! And no class before 10 AM!

Wow that sounds so awesome! I'm glad you got some classes you like, they sound really interesting. And I think buying a book for each class or whatever would work well, plus it'll be like a souvenir. Which you'll have a billion of by the time your done. hehe
