Four Courses

I also decided over break, in addition to deciding what career path I would like to pursue, that I would challenge myself with four courses. Now, you might think that a four course load is low, but consider the fact that each grading period is only ten weeks, and you might just change your mind.

The typical Dartmouth student will tell you that a three course workload is sufficient. But sometimes there are just so many interesting courses offered, that it's hard to resist!

So, as I continue studying for the rest of the week, I look forward to evaluating my situation.... do I want to take four courses, or focus down on three?

Currently I'm signed up for French 3 (Intermediate French), Math 8 (Calculus), Government 4 (Comparative Politics), and Psychology 1 (Introduction to Psychology).

Today, from 10-1:35 I had the chance to go to French, Math, and Psychology; and I think that I will really enjoy those classes.

Tomorrow, I get to have a little taste of Comparative Politics-- I can't wait!!

Away from Home

After two terms of living on the Dartmouth Campus, I have come to affectionately call it my home.

It's a place where I feel comfortable-- confidant about who I am and where I want to go.

So, when I go home (my other home in Austin) for break, it's hard not to constantly think about Dartmouth.

My new Dartmouth thought for today? I'm going to embrace all that Dartmouth has to offer, and I am going to attempt taking: Psychology 1, Math 8, French 3, and Government 4 next term.

Typically the course load per term is three courses, but there are an array of interesting courses; and I am honestly looking forward to challenging myself. After all, when there are so many resources, why not use them?
