First Day of Classes

So far, so good!

I started the day by going out to breakfast with Alexa, which was fun!  We went to K St Bagel (SO GOOD!) and enjoyed fresh hot bagels!

After breakfast, I went to my first class of Junior year: Broadcast News Writing (SMPA 135 for the GW kids).  I have very high expectations for this class.  I am very excited to be taking a class that has everything to do with where I would like to take my career.  While it's not exactly sports based, it should be really interesting and exciting to learn about writing for broadcast.  The professor seems very knowledgeable and willing to help.  He also appears to be very focused on improvement, which is definitely a plus in my book.  Because the course only has fifteen people, I definitely think he'll be able to give everybody the individual attention they deserve.

After journalism, I went to History of Modern Israel.  The cross-cut of people in the course was not what I was expecting (honestly, I expected more Jews to be in the class); however, I think this diversity will only create for more interesting in-class discussions.  The class should be really interesting; especially learning about the Zionist movement before the creation of the State of Israel, something I have always wanted to learn more about.

I worked an evening tour and made some nice tips and now it's off to bed!

Overall, I had a great first day of classes and I'm excited about the rest of the semester!
