I just registered for classes! I am taking Conservation Biology, Environmental Discourses (a communications class centered on how environmental documentaries are framed) macroeconomics, intro to Italian, and a music history class called Mozart to Mahler. When I registered for this last class, my temporary adviser remarked, "How refreshing, an environmental studies person who likes Mahler!" My actual adviser will be the environmental studies department chair once I officially declare my major. I knew who he was right away; he was the only person I have seen in Switzerland wearing Chaco sandals. So far, he seems like a great teacher. For those of you who may be reading this from Lewis and Clark, he is definitely not a Jim Proctor.
I was also assigned what Franklin calls an academic travel class, which is basically a one credit class that all students take that takes place during two weeks of travel outside the classroom. My class is called Following the Rhine, which is basically just what is sounds like. My group will be traveling from where the Rhine starts in Switzerland up through Germany and France, ending in Amsterdam, studying the cultural, historical, and environmental impacts of the river. I can't wait!
Now I'm off to get groceries downtown for the first time, I wonder how much this will cost?
