Second Day of Classes

Hey Everyone!

 

Another wonderful day at sea. In two days we get to see our first view of land! However, we see it between 5AM and 7AM, but it is ok, I have never seen a sunrise so it gives me an excuse to wake up early and watch my first sunrise over an ocean, since back in San Diego I see sunsets ALL the time.

 

Had my last two classes today, Contemporary Social Issues and Rhetoric of Film. My Contemporary Social Issues will probably be the most exciting, interesting, and engaging class I will ever take. This class requires us to debate, well, social issues in modern day. For example, the professor asked us to get into groups of two, (I am in a group with a pretty cute girl =D, we chose each other since we both shared the same view on topics), and the girl I am with, Amanda, and I chose "should the right to abortion be kept within the state, or go into federal law?" Our class today involved a heated debate into what we define "Liberals" and "Conservatives" as, and I wanted to add in a comment that would start something so when we were defining Liberals, I said, "socialists" and everyone (since the majority of the class defined themselves as a Liberal, [the professor at the beginning of class put up numbers 1 through 7, 1 equaling extremely liberal, and 7 equaling extremely conservative, I marked 5 {slightly conservative}]) got really irked with that comment. To keep a long argument at a shortened length, to not bore you, it ended with the professor ending our debate.

 

Tomorrow I will explain how classes work, since here is 12:45AM, and I have class at 920AM tomorrow, or today. So I wanted to keep this short. Sorry everyone and have a good night.

 

Until my next post,
