post 274: busy as a bee

What a busy week! I've finished with my second day of classes. I have homework due tomorrow already. I work Friday too.

Let me just say that kung fu is awesome! I had my first class today. It was tough, and it's going to be challenging, but I'm really looking forward to it. I need to get back into French. I realized that I've been studying it for a year and a half, and I'm not that great. I mean, I do really well in the classes, but I'm not using my French. I'm thinking of keeping a journal in French, but we'll see.

Biking to school has been pretty cool. The commute isn't that bad, and I'm getting excercise.

Did some back to school shopping with friends at the outlets in Gilroy. Fun times. Bought 2 pairs of jeans, a long sleeve shirt, socks, and a cute bag. I can't shop for a while now. I've got what I need, and I really should be saving my monies for travelling and film. Anyway, I'm not the type of person who has to have the newest trend of clothing.

My classes:
--French Intermediate 2: I might test out of this because it's sort of a step backward.
--French Composition: With Madame Perret! Lovely, lovely. I also have some friends in there too.
--Kung Fu: Because I need some excercise and "fusion of mind and body".
--Leisure Lifestyle Development: For general eduation. We learn how to relax, deal with stress. The teacher is from LA and likes my last name (it's the same as a long street in LA). She asked me if she could call me by my last name, and I said that that was cool.
--Historical and Contemporary Aspects of Food, Beverage, and Culture in America: For my segment 3. A student chooses a topic for their segment 3 and takes 3 classes on that topic. I chose food and beverage, because I like food and beverages. Also all the other ones aren't as interesting to me.
--Film History I: I'm trying to add this, along with my other Cinema Collective friends. I really need this class if I want to graduate as soon as humanly possible. It's bad enough I can't do 316, which is film production.
