So, as my blog title suggests I am a bit of a nerd-girl, so it may not come as much of a shock, that I actually like school... In fact, I love it! I'm a bit of an introvert, and very much a homebody, so for me, school means more than JUST learning (which I enjoy) but also social interaction. It doesn't take too much effort for me to talk to a friend, or be nice to a classmate. But it is hard for me to arrange and/or plan hang-outs, so school is very much a big part of my social scene.
Also, as a second year university student, I am predominantly in classes that pertain to my major, that I find interesting and fun! I'm nearly rid of icky generalized first year classes (I do have a few still).
This semester I am taking a first year Socio-cultural Anthropology course(AN 101), 3 second year Archaeology courses (AR/AN 220: Human Osteology, AR 241: Historical Archaeology of North America 1500-1900, and AR 244: Archaeology and the Physical Sciences) as well as a First year Geology class (GL 101) which I've already skipped once because I didn't feel well and it kinda, sorta sucks the life out of me...
It's only been a week but I can already tell that AR 244 is going to be my favourite lecture, and AR 220(-2) my favourite lab! 244 has one of (if not) my favourite profs from last year, and despite the necessity to write a mile a minute, and the fact that it's 7-10pm on Glee night, I have the most fun learning in that class!! The 220-2 lab, is basically an hour-to an hour and a half of examining, identifying, (and playing) with bones! I have a very weird affinity for bones, and I can tell I am going to have so, SO, SO much fun learning the ins and outs of the human skeletal system!
One of my favourite television shows is Bones, and while I assembled a disarticulated hand I sang "dancing phalanges" while wiggling my fingers in the air... if you get that reference I officially love you! I am really excited to start watching it again this week! I mean I'm gutted that I have to miss Glee (of course I'll just watch it online later...) but I am happy that I get to watch at least one of my favourite shows as it airs! (My other show that I never miss is The Vampire Diaries, but the channel I watch it on is a day behind so I have to be careful of spoilers)
It's only been a week and I've already met up and/or run into seven different friends, only one of which I have a class with! I've also met a new friend, and gotten to know better some of my acquaintances from classes last year. I can tell that this year is going to suck less and be made of more awesome then last year, and I am going to enjoy myself more than I can even imagine!
