One done

First week of spring quarter out of the way - my last undergraduate quarter at UW! It's finally starting to sink in, and at the same time it seems absolutely crazy. So far, so good as far as classes go this quarter - most of them seem like they'll at least be somewhat interesting!

I am taking:

Soc 347 - National Social Movements, including the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Rights Movement, and the Pro-Choice Movement. It's a two hour lecture at 8:30 AM, that's the only downside - I just have to keep reminding myself that it's only twice a week, and these are the last 8:30 classes I will ever have to take!

Soc 371 - Criminology - the professor for this has quite a sense of humor, which makes going to class actually entertaining, and he seems pretty good so far. Also, I ended up with a few friends in my quiz section, which is always nice! The final for this class is Wednesday, June 10 from 4:30 to 6:20 PM - which is interesting, because the Soc Department graduation is that same night at 6:30! Guess we'll have to hustle!

Soc 366 - Bureaucracy in Society - so far, I think this class could go either way - but it is an important topic, at least, given how much of today's society and infrastructure is controlled by bureaucracies.

Music 116 - Elementary Music Theory - the professor seems a little crazy, but everyone I know has done fairly well in the class, and I have been playing clarinet since 5th grade, so I have a lot of the basics down - just need to learn bass clef, which is really really weird!


In running news, I had a great run in the rain yesterday, and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now that my cough has gone away and I've sort of settled into the routine of this quarter, time to pick it back up! Hooray!


I had my second week of volunteering at Little Bit today (handy that I had Mom's car as she is in Cali for the week - lucky! - and thus didn't have to take an hour and a half each way walking and bussing!). I did another hippotherapy session with Olivia, who is soooo cute, and then helped out in the sport class with a fun kid named Colin. The kids are so adorable, all the volunteers and instructors seem super nice and helpful, and of course, the horses are awesome. :)
