Hey everyone!
Since, I am not traveling very much right now or doing lots of interesting things during the week I have decided to go to weekly updates and only do special bulletins when exciting things happen!
Any way so here is a run down of my week. Classes are getting a little more manageable because I am getting used to them a little bit more. Although, I must admit Physical Chemistry is still very challenging. I am trying to keep up with reading and I am reviewing my notes before class, but I still feel like I am not understanding it as I should be. I am hoping the Tutorial session on Monday will help clear up some of my confusion.
On a happier note, I started my history of art class and it is definitely my favorite class right now. For starters, it makes sense :P and secondly I find it all fascinating. We are covering Mannerism right now and it is the period right after the High Renaissance. We covered a bit of it in my art history class back home but this is more depth than what we did. I find it really interesting the different aspects of the art or artist that my professor chooses to focus on because it is not the same as North Central. I had not realized all the different perspectives one could focus on when it comes to art and I like that I am being exposed to a unique one while I am here. Professor Koenig at North Central, focuses a lot on the story that they piece is depicting which I always find fun and it makes the piece easy to remember. Professor Nichols here at Glasgow focuses on how the piece relates to what was happening when it was created and the reason why it was created. He also talks some of the story but not nearly as much as Professor Koenig.
On another note, I officially started volleyball practice this week. It was fun, although not all the girls know the defensive rotations yet, but I guess it will come in good time. We have our first game a week from today, so that is very exciting. We have a large number of players on our team so not everyone can go to the game so we will not know who is on the official team until the practice on Tuesday, so keep your fingers crossed for me. :D
Also I have noticed that I do not have any pictures of the classrooms that I have been using, so I will be sure to take some this week and post them so you all can get a sense of how many people and how large the classes are. Well, I should go finish reading P-chem stuff.
