Today was our first day of classes. Breakfast was at 8am, then my first class, Classical Civilization, with Bro. Macfarlane, was at 8:45am. Ergh! This was a difficult transition to make, since last semester my classes started at noon! After Civ, I have Religion in a Cultural Setting, with Bro. Schuler. Then Poli Sci 170, intro to international relations, with Bro. Cooper. I am dropping this class ASAP! Bro. Cooper expects way too much reading. Three hours a day! And that's not even considering the millions of hours the other professors assign. 4th class of the day is English Literature with Sis. Howe. Originally I wasn't in this class, but I am going to take it now. I was going to drop Mythology with Macfarlane, but now I am going to stay in it and drop Poli Sci instead. They seriously need to reconsider the amount of homework they give us. There is way too much reading for each class! I am taking 12 credits and have much more homework than last year when I was taking 16 credits! I'm not in London to be stuck behind a book. I didn't pay $10,000 for that! I know this is an academic experience, but they need to reconsider the reading assignments. The combination from five different classes is overwhelming everyone!
The good thing about classes is that they are over by 1:20. After class, Allyson and I went to Harrods with two other girls from our dorm. It is very overwhelming in there! So much stuff! Very impressive. They were also having a massive sale, so I bought a 5 GBP Harrods purse. Haha probably the cheapest bag they sell, but I love it! I also bought a dessert from their insane chocolate room! Salted caramel chocolate mousse. It was so good!
We saw Big Ben, Parliament, and the London Eye today. Yay! I'm in London!
