First day of school

Marthin Luther King day is a day that Americans have off, but few here on campus seemed to celebrate it much. As people were just hanging around, and since the shops and services were closed here on campus, it felt like a regular Sunday. This made me show up today, at the wrong classroom at the wrong time, making a fool of myself as I entered. Luckily people were just laughing, and the teacher did not make a big deal about me being late for class. In persuasive communication I got a task to persuade the teacher to give me 5 dollars, and I did. I wounld not mind if every schooldays was like this.

Final student schedule


Today I was registered in the courses "Interviewing techniques", "Leadership and communication", "Persuasive communication", "Advanced public speaking" and "Elementary Spanish". This is one more course than is required to get 30 studypoints at my school in Norway. This extra subject will probably not be counted as study points when I get back, but these are all subject which I thought looked interresting, and having one extra course means that I can just drop a course if I feel it is too much.
