First Day of Classes

So I had my first day of classes today.  Thankfully it went alright being I changed my schedule around yesterday!  I decided I wasn't sure if I could see myself teaching math in the future, so I'm postponing that for the time being.  I had to drop Calculus and add some other stuff.  Today I had Intro to Teaching, which is just going to be an okay class, nothing too spectacular.  Then I had Later World Lit, which I think is going to be pretty cool.  To name a few things we'll be reading (or at least reading part of): K'ung Shang-Jen's Peach Blossom Fan, Voltaire's Candide, Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez's Death Constant Beyond Love, Tolstoy's Ivan Ilych, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground.  There's some other short poems and such that'll we'll be reading, but that'll give ya a good idea of the class.  I also had Basic Econ today, which will be boring.  The professor seems really nice though, so I was happy about that.  My last class of the day was Geography.  I was scared to death about that class because I was suppose to have the toughest teacher ever for it, but it turns out that she's on sabbatical so I have this nice, younger guy as a professor.  He has lots of fun stories being he's been to all 7 continents and almost 30 different countries! Plus, we're watching lots of movies in the class like Sicko, Gandhi, and Hotel Rwanda. So the semester isn't shaping up to be too bad thus far. I'll have Developmental Psychology tomorrow, and I think that class will be really interesting.  Then starting on March 11, I'll have Lifetime Fitness (stupid gen ed).  It shouldn't be too bad though.  I'm really liking my schedule so far though. 

Monday/Wednesday: class from 10-12 and 1-3:20
Tuesday/Thursday: class from 9:30-11 and then when March 11 rolls around from 8-9
Friday: class from 11-12 and 1-2

My parents and sis aren't impressed at all with my decision to drop Calc.  I guess maybe it's just because they weren't overly impressed with me to begin with because of Derrick coming to visit.  They just keep telling me I'll never be able to find a job as an English teacher so I need to have the Math too.  I guess I understand their fears because Math is definitely in more demand than English; but I just don't know if I would even enjoy teaching math.  I enjoy doing math myself, but once I sat down and thought about it, I couldn't really picture myself teaching math for the rest of my life.  Plus, it's not like it's now or never.  I can also pick it up again next semester.  I just wish they'd be a little bit more supportive of my decisions as of late.
