Classes I'm taking

I'm currently taking four classes: Intro to Music, English Composition, History, and Algebra. Intro to Music is an interesting class in that it's about the history of music from the 1600's up to the present. We talk about the types of instruments people used, how musicians were viewed in their society, and how popular music was back then. In addition, our professor wants us to "wake up our musical ear" so to speak, so we practice listening to music and learning musical vocabulary. English Composition also sounds interesting since we'll actually be going out into our community and learning more about the people that live here. In my previous English classes, I just seemed to go over very basic English skills and read simple stories for discussion. That doesn't seem to be the case this time around! History is a class that demands a lot of reading from us. Seriously, during the first week-end of school we were assigned to read 148 pages in one of our books! This high reading load hasn't really let up so far and I doubt that it will. Fortunately, the books we're reading so far seem to be interesting, which helps with the load somewhat. Algebra is just a total joke. I've always been good at math and my Algebra class seems way too easy to be a college class. Hopefully it will get harder later on so that I'm not constantly falling asleep while my teacher talks!
