I had my Women and Gender Studies class this morning, which was just a random elective I chose at the last minute because it was Christmas break and I decided I should take an extra course so that I could work on the actually being able to graduate with the rest of my class and it was one of the few courses that still had space and I thought I might actually like.
I didn't really know what to expect... I mean I had thoughts, but I wasn't sure how accurate they were. I am actually really enjoying the course. The prof is interesting, and I really enjoy the content and the readings. This is an introductory course, so it is all pretty general, but I'm enjoying the things I'm reading and learning and getting to see and understand other opinions on topics that I am interested in. A lot the of the information I had been somewhat familiar with before this class, just from my own personal research and being a child of the internet age, but having a new/more academic reason to explore these topics is quite nice.
The only unfortunate part might be the whole group work aspect of the course... I mean it would be nice if the people in my group read/had the text book or actually had an accurate idea of what feminism is, especially since that is kind of an important part of this course. Ah well, is what it is.
It might be my favourite class right now... its the only really academic course I have this term. I mean I am also doing music theory, but that is an entirely different beast. My other credits are musical skills lab(where we sing do re me at 8:30 in the morning every other day. It can be fairly brutal to get out of bed for), choir, and studio(which includes private lessons and coachings, as well as masterclass and an hour of group tech one a week).
Being a music student is a funny thing, and I enjoy it - even when I feel more than a little overwhelmed at times.
