First day of school

So the first day of school was today, 4 classes and a repeat on wednesday.

We'll start with Italian. The teacher refuses to speak English which made sense once i got over the initial fear that I wouldnt understand a word he said. He does a good job motioning what he is saying, so ultimately it will improve my conversational abilities. He gave out more homework one the first day then a majority of my general ed classes at UCI.

Next came Introduction to Music. quiz on the first day to see hwo well we knew how to distinguish different kinds of music throughout the 1500's to today. Out of 7 examples, with time period, region and types of instruments used, i got possibly 3 of 21 right. Pathetic, i know, but I think this class will actually be useful and beneficial to my culture understanding of music.

After a nice 2 hour break, which included a stop at a pizzeria, i began my third class, Moles Spies and Terrorists

Initially this was suppose to be the kick it and chill class. The one where we would here cool stories and do absolutely nothing. 8 pages of syllabus, 10 required readings and an additional 10 on reserve, a 15 page final paper and four 5 page reviews later i realized, I was right. kick it and chill. My 15 page paper will most likely be on the Israeli CIA and their covert mission to revenge the deaths of their Olympians, so its not going to be as bad as it seemed.

The last class of the day was Organization behavior. And some of you might know this man, Joe Flaggliano(terrible spelling) but he went to servite, friends with Ian and Ray and them, he is in our mini group, just thought it was interesting. Our teacher is way chill and told us there was no class wednesday. he didnt pass out a syllabus or give us any books to buy. really liked this guy.

Thats day one, ill update soon enough. Public transportation has been chill. I had my first full nights sleep last night. No class tomorrrow. Might venture around the city and try to get some pictures in.
