First Day of Classes, excuse me Courses

Well, I seemed to survive my first day of classes here at Bond Uni. While I was supposed to have 3 classes (1 lecture and 2 tutorials (tuts as the Aussies call them)), tutorials were canceled this week, as they are like small discussions and interactions on what you learned in lecture. So i attended my first lecture, Freelance Writing: Magazine and Creative Non-Fiction. The teacher, an ex-American resident, wore acid washed jeans and flip flops with a button down. He basically made it big by writing financial advice columns in the States and Canada and went on to books, seminars, and eventually teaching here at Uni. He kind of lives a crazy life.
As one of the very few Americans in the course, I'm a bit worried, as not only will I stand out but I don't know anything about the newspaper and magazine business over here. He asked who in the class wanted to be a journalist, I was one of the few who did not raise my hand. However, after calling me out and asking what I wanted to do, he complimented me and said I would probably have much higher chances of getting accepted as a doctor over the next guy due to my "writing background." It was actually very reassuring. Suck on that SLU and Stacy Phillips-Keller! I can have a minor and still do great things.
Well, we shall see what other exciting things my classes lead to. I have Gender Communication tomorrow, Tuesday, and then Australian Pop Culture and Human Growth and Development on Wednesday.

Until Then,

Wilson
