And we will journey among the stars

I am currently sitting in my campus Starbucks, waiting to pass the hour that lies between now and my seminar. Today has started off fabulously so far.

I've had only one class so far, which was my modern American literature class. I have to say it will certainly be a class I will enjoy, if only for my professor. He's an older gentleman, of Chinese decent and I want to either adopt him or marry him I'm no sure which. He has an odd sense of humor, and laughs at all of his own jokes. He also can recite the opening chapter to Pride and Prejudice word for word--he demonstrated this fact to us in class. Also, the exams in this class? All open text, take-home, multiple choice exams outside of the fourth exam which is our final (and only) term paper. I think I'm in love.

The rest of today looks to be interesting too. As I said, in an hour I have a seminar. This class will be the time I will normally be in a high school for observation for the rest of the semester, but the first two classes are seminars so that we can be introduced to our faculty advisor from NKU, and so that we can be assigned to our schools that we will be observing at. I'm rather excited for that class. Then, to top off the day, I have my Japanese class. Last semester the topic was an intensive study for the JLPT, but this semester it's focused on Japanese folktales and myths with the final project consisting of translating one of our texts to English. It will be challenging, I'm sure, but I am also sure that it will be an interesting and fun class.

I'll likely be updating again later today when I get home with the final verdict of how the day went, but for now it is an awesome day.
