astronomy class induces panic attacks

[threeplusfire]

I've discovered I learn a lot more about astronomy when I don't go to class. It's less frightening this way too, and I don't become sleepy when the professor turns the lights off in the lecture hall. Hurrah for internet notes, and textbooks. If only all my science could be this way.

However working in the UGL library lab is not my favorite way to do this. I suppose I get lots done though.

Government lecture today was excellent. It's pleasant to have a good instructor and interesting lectures. Usually these required classes are so dry and dull. This time I feel like I've learned a great deal about foreign policy, both the theorectical and the practical. I'm actually even looking forward to writing my final essay exam.

Government? Enjoyable? Errr.. lucky you! I will be taking both my "basic" governments this summer ... quick and easy to get them over with. If I'm lucky, I will have a good instructor, too. That does make all the difference.

We have this new professor who just got his PhD from Princeton last year. Something about those Princeton kids, they are all so wonderful...

But anyways, this is my second required government section, and there are options for the focus it can have. I choose post Cold War Foreign Policy, and it has been great. Good luck finding a good government class.
