So I’m gearing up for another three day week of classes so I thought I’d go through the rundown of what I’m taking this semester in Wrocław:
Monday’s: I start out the day with my only history class of the semester called Alexander the Great and the Persan Empire. I’ve only been to it once because it was canceled the first two weeks but I have a feeling I will enjoy it. It’s taught by a Polish professor and I wish that would have been able to take a Polish history class while I’m hear but the only other class in English they were offering at the time was during my Polish language course. Speaking of Polish language course, one of my other classes on Monday (with another class on Wednesday), is probably my hardest class, by which I mean the class I have to study the most for, but I’m learning a lot and enjoying it thoroughly. The class I have in between the Alexander the Great course and the language course is a class entitled Law of International Organizations. Again, I’ve only had this class once because it was cancelled twice before so I don’t really have a feel for it yet.
Tuesday: On Tuesdays, I have to make a trek across town to the other campus of the university for my International Relations classes. I start out the day with a class entitled Middle East and International Relations the a name that is pretty self-explanatory… I enjoy the class immensely and I’m learning a lot. I then go to my two favorite classes I’m taking this semester; first with Sports and International Relations followed by Global Human Rights Protection. These are the highlights of my school week and I find myself looking forward Tuesday simply for these two classes.

Wednesday: I round out the week with my South-Asia and International Relations class, followed by my European Union Law class and my Language class. All and all, I am enjoying all of these classes immensely and it feels nice being able to get into a rhythm again with school. I don’t feel like the difficulty here is up to the same standards at KSU (usually a couple of pages worth of reading per week with each class) but I assure you I’m not complaining. In fact, I would say with confidence that most of what I have learned so far this semester has not been in the classroom. It’s been talking with new friends that I have met from throughout Europe that I have learned the most about the world, and not-surprisingly, about the U.S. I’ve found that nothing makes you appreciate the United States more than living abroad for a length of time. And although I was expecting this, it’s still nice to have found a new appreciation for my home.
