11:00 - 12:15 Woman in the South
14:30 - 15:45 Major African American Writers: Malcolm, Martin and Barack
Wednesday:
8:00 - 9:15 Teaching Technologies
Thursday:
9:30 - 10:45 Survey course of African American Literature till 1920
11:00 - 12:15 Woman in the South
14:30 - 15:45 Major African American Writers: Malcolm, Martin and Barack
On Fridays I do not have classes. Which sounds really relaxing, until you see the syllabus for every class. As I have 3 literature courses I have to read a lot each week and with a lot I mean about 40 to 100 pages per class. So I use most Fridays to catch up a little bit with classes and start writing my papers for the midterms which are already in about two weeks.
Of cause the football games were something I was really looking forward to and i did not get disappointed, so far we won our fist two games and I hope Ole Miss will do good tomorrow in California in their first away game.
The Wiz Khalifa concert which was on the 24th of august was a big highlight. Of cause it was for free for all Ole Miss students. The two rappers who were on stage before Wiz, were really disappointing and everybody was getting bored and annoyed. But after waiting for what seemed like forever Wiz got on stage and everybody got happy again! All in all it was a great show and something that my University in Germany would have never gotten to organise.
Next weeks I have my first exams in some classes so I have study a lot these next few days. All classes are very interesting and the teachers just seem so happy to be doing their job and are really exited to have us internationals be there.
The days here are passing by really fast and I can't believe that I have been living here for over one month! It is crazy to thing that 1/4 of my time here is over, but I'm looking forward to the next weeks here and to the new experiences. I am especially exited for my birthday which is in two weeks.
This is it for now, hopefully I will find the time to write some posts more regularly!
xoxo Anna
