I spoke too soon about feeling better. *sigh* I've been having trouble keeping things down some days. Rather than go to the Health center on campus, I've considered that it may just be dehydration because I've never really been in the habit of drinking a lot of water. It's worked so far, but it's only been a couple days.
Classes and work have started up again. I'm doing okay with Trig so far, but it's only been a week. The concepts are pretty easy to grasp at this point. Folklore has been really interesting. The teacher asked us to relate our cultural background and one of the other students has Aztec and Mayan roots. She's been visiting the Yucatan every summer for the past several years and can now speak some Mayan. I'm so jealous. When I told the teacher that my grandmother on Mom's side said that we're descended from John Smith, she was fascinated and suggested that I do research on him for one of the papers we're supposed to write. *amused* She remembered me from my very first English class in 2001. *shakes head*
Retrospectives on World War II is being taught by the professor I had when I took the first part of American history. He's been explaining about the Treaty of Versailles, how the decisions made there led to World War II. That had never really been explained to me. I mean, I knew that Germany hadn't been happy with the treaty and all, but I hadn't understood what about the treaty had made them unhappy. I have one paper due for the class and the prompt is: "Was Germany justified when she invaded Poland?"
The Asian Civilizations professor remembered me from last semester, but I wasn't terribly surprised that he had. He kept commenting on how well I wrote my essays for my tests and all. It was a little embarrassing, to tell the truth. I just prefer to carry on and do my work. I don't want people to get jealous or suspicious of me.
Oh, I got my grades for last semester: all A's. I thought for sure I'd get a B in French, but I guess I did better than I thought. *shrugs*
On a completely different note, one of my professors from CBU had a stroke about two weeks ago. He survived and is recovering now. The doctors and nurses are encouraged by the progress he's made. I'm glad he's survived. He was one of my favorite professors.
