While attending my Islamic Art and Architecture class yesterday, my professor made it pretty clear that there is a big difference between the 271 class (his) and the 270 class, even though the course catalogue made no distinction. Apparently, the 271 class in which I am enrolled is NOT for people who have never taken an art or architecture class, but 270 is. Luckily, there was an opening in the 270 class in a section that is at the same time as my 271 class.
I was planning on only changing that class today, but after sitting in my ARIC/HIST 356 clas for 10 minutes I realized it would be identical (and even used the same book as) my HS211 class I took last semester at Arcadia. This made me panic slightly, because I know there are only a couple of classes that are still open that don’t clash with my Arabic class that meets at varying times four days a week. But, I discovered another graduate seminar class called Authoritarianism and Mobilization in the Middle East, which is a night class and only meets once a week. So, I switched that as well.
Now my schedule is quite different, so in case you were wondering:
SUNDAY: Politics of Palestinian-Israeli Relations 5:50-7:55p
MONDAY: Islamic Art and Architecture 12:30-1:45p
Accelerated MS Arabic 2:00-4:45p
TUESDAY: Accelerated MS Arabic 1:30-3:20p
WEDNESDAY: (same as monday)
THURSDAY: Accelerated MS Arabic 1:30-3:20p
Authoritarianism and Modernization in the Middle East
5:30-7:55p
I like the timing of this schedule better, because now I won’t have to take the really early buses to campus and I have a lot of free time on Sundays and Tuesdays to catch up on readings/do homework.
The pictures are awesome. Keep sending them. Sounds like you are taking some really interesting classes. I know I should have some profound questions about the culture or the architect but want I want to know is what type of cards where you playing?
You look great! Stay safe. I love You.
