Time for the fun stuff!

Well, I finally managed to get a little bit ahead in my classes, which means, Update Time!

I have one ridiculous class, Japanese Modern Lit, which eats up time. Little benefit there, except in realizing that Meiji era literature makes me depressed, as it follows an aesthetic of frustrated desire and death. So cheery.

My other classes all feel a touch more useful. Japanese, being my major, pumps vocabulary into my brain almost faster than I can forget it, though I'm working on retention. Scandinavian Mythology is perhaps one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken, lots of analysis of how the mythology came about and how it was altered through christian and Roman influences. Astronomy is amusing, we get to calculate fun things, like the luminosity of the sun.

Soil Science is... odd. They decided that a class based on guest lectures and group work should be held in a large class room that is incapable of seating a group in any configuration other than a line, which makes it rather hard to talk to each other. Being a devil's advocate during group discussions is enough fun to off-set this greatly, however.

Those are my classes in a nutshell. At the moment, they kind of dominate my life.
