First day of classes!

Today began the first day of classes and one of those days where you feel incredibly productive. Even though I start at 11, I woke up early to do Maneater advertising work and completed my first deadline. Excitement!! With 18 hours, I have a pretty packed schedule, but Mondays/Wednesdays I only have 3 large lecture courses and all of them were with friends (partially to my surprise!) which was awesome.

First, I had Marketing 3000 with a ton of Phi Mus, Kathryn, Sherman and friends from other places so we enjoyed our amusing professor as well as the "abduction" crew dressed in gorilla suits that ran through the classroom handing out fliers for music videos, and ran out shortly after. Kathryn and I ran errands during our lunch and I went onto TAM (Textile and Apparel Management: social appearance in time and space/history of dress) with Jackie and Katie!

What makes me most excited for school/the future is my Journalism 2100 (News) course. Monday afternoons are lectures and everyone is in discussion sections, but this lecture is essentially a social gathering. It's a walking advertisement for Mizzou's honors college and FIGS/learning communities because I am acquainted with probably 50% of the 300 person class. It's in the same lecture hall as my ancient world course was last year, and the Mark Twain 5th floor crew sits near each other, people in our respective sororities and fraternities, and people from other residence halls' groups of friends from their learning communities. People I met in my honors classes/from random activities around campus were all here too, and the 10 minute passing period was spent hugging people and making plans to meet up with them, so I'm excited I'll get to see everyone. More importantly, I'm excited that a lot of my close friends are journalism majors on campus so I'll always be seeing them in my classes for the next 2 years!! How exciting is that?!

I know I'm a freak and enjoy my classes, I just need to get on top of finishing everything else first. But I look forward to the rest of this week and more funny stories from meeting people in class and all! Hope you enjoyed the recruitment photos of the last post!
