Backpack, fresh notebooks, and new kicks. Must be the 1st day of school!

So yes, Sept 13th came and I have finally started classes here at Corvinus University of Budapest. And.I.Love.Them! It is taught in English but there are students from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Mexico, Hungary and more! My first professor's english was very easy to understand, and second professor..not so much, but you can make out most of it.

These classes get so interesting because the foreigners talk about the US in a completely different view from when UNH students are taught. Professors use us as a lot of examples and will ask the US students to elaborate on a cultural difference (e.g. greetings, we hug, whereas hugging is too intimate for Hungarians, yet they give each other two kisses on the cheek). I like hearing what others think of America, even if most of the time it is negative haha. The students are vocally active in the class to say the least, it is a little intimidating I won't lie, but I guess it will give me motivation to be a bit more vocal within a classroom. Typically, I would take the participation grade as a hit, and try to make up for it in projects, tests, or homework. I am not as confident, even after 14 years of school, as I want to/should be in class :-/

On the second day of classes, I went into Corporate Finance, basically anything with the word finance i hate haha, but it's a WSBE requirement blah blah blah, so I gotta suck it up. I also had Film and History today, which was awful, I hated it and plan to drop it. Luckily all of the dance and aerial classes I have taken at unh, I was about 12 credits ahead, so dropping this course (which does not count for any general education requirement) won't hurt a bit :)

Now that classes have started, I can just foresee this semester FLYING by. This weekend we are heading to Lake Balaton again, next is Munich for Oktober fest :D, the following weekend Allie and I are heading to Vienna, then  Peter comes to visit!!!! The end of October my parents are coming for 4 days and then we head to Paris for 4 days! Holy Moly, where are my weekends going? It's crazy to think about haha.

Anyways, another day of classes tomorrow then off to Balaton with my UNHers until Sat.
