1. Reading Film and Television : Taught by two professors from England. The guy professor is awesome...has the classic British sense of humor and I love it. Basically we talk about films and TV and watch them. Not bad, eh?
2. Television Drama: Ok so imagine an older British professor dressed in all black talking in the calming yet sophisticated British accent to a group of students...yep that's my professor. Again, love the man. We're watching all British TV in this class so that should be interesting.
3. New Hollywood Cinema: This is taught by young looking man from England. He also seems really cool, sure knows his stuff...as well as his American history. It's so different learning about your culture from someone in a different culture. I'm really looking forward to this class actually, it's all really interesting and I am really interested to hear his perspective on everything. Again, we talk about films and watch them. LOVE IT.
Other than that, not much has occurred so not much else to say!
Some things I've learned:
~ The sweat pants, hoodie, and ball cap look to class..totally unacceptable here. Not sure I will be able to make through the semester. What I wear out for a nice evening dinner on the weekend..I have to wear to class now. Awesome.
~ Earlier I wasn't concerned about staying fit while over here considering I can't cook and everything's in smaller portions...but today I found an amazing place in their union that serves awesome home cooked food for a great price. Dang it, now I have to pay to join their gym.
~ The accent that has given me the hardest time in terms of trying to understand them...polish.
~ PB and J does not exist here...meaning they don't make it. It obviously exists if I make it, but they don't eat it here. They eat beans on toast.
~ I'm listening to JLS right now. The awesome boy band from England again. Yep. You're jealous.
