classes

Classes officially started on monday buuut i think i'm the only one who got the notice. apparently it's common for professors to just not show up the first few days of class because of the chaos that is registration. (believe me, non- computerized registration IS chaotic. see 4 hour line for ID card) So I guess I don't have too much to say on class. The only class I have actually had a lecture for thus far is Botswana Politics. This seems like it will be a really interesting class. We have started learning about the precolonial Tswana tribe's government and how the roots of Botswana's successful democracy can be traced back to the tribe. Other than that I am taking 2 French classes: Modern French Literature and Currents of thought in French-speaking Black Africa as well as a history class called Trade and Politics in Central African Kingdoms. I am also taking Industrial Economics and Setswana. That has pretty much been the only excitement for the past few days. I went grocery shopping and found REAL PEANUT BUTTER! which was great. The International office has set up a trip to a game reserve for the weekend of the 17th so I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for dropping by. Leave me a comment, I love to know who's checking in!
