Hello, lovelies!
I’m so excited about my oncoming experience at Agnes! Before I enrolled, I was terrified about the idea of college. The pandemic, stressful as it may be, was a huge help against this fear; I was so tired of high school by the time it hit and I hated being on standby in life. So, I was suddenly eager for college to start, and ASC has yet to disappoint.
This website, for example, is an incredible surprise. I don’t know if other colleges make this aspect mandatory, or if Agnes Scott’s SUMMIT program is just that awesome (I think that might be the case lol,) but this is an amazing idea! Having the knowledge of web-design alone is very helpful for the world we all live in today. I’m very impressed with this school and how productive it already seems.
I’m excited about my courses this semester as well. I’m taking Visual Thinking 160 with Professor Ruby, Japanese 1 with Suzuki Sensei, Intro to Women’s Studies with Professor Hackett, and Leadership 101: Women Directors with Professor Korol.
I didn’t know how interested I would be in Women’s Studies, but this class is dope! I love the energy and the conversations we’re already having. It may just be my favorite class.
My art class is a close second. I’ve already made a piece and am on my way to revising it. Everything seems to be going by quickly, BUT it’s all at a pace, so I don’t feel overwhelmed. I also really like the people in this course, whether they share my major (Studio Art) or they’re under Art History, they all seem very invested.
I like my Leadership course as well, only we haven’t really done anything related to the name of the course. However, I do appreciate what I’ve learned about being a Scottie, how to utilize the resources in this school, and how to present my work.
My Japanese course is the only class I’m questioning. Don’t get me wrong, the professor is sweet and very helpful with pronunciations and material. I love the idea of learning a whole new language and the content is genuinely interesting, but the planning seems a bit scattered. Fortunately, we do something every call, and I retain something each time. Unfortunately, it’s my latest class so I’m usually exhausted by the time we’re done. I don’t think I’ll drop it or anything, but it feels like I’m more so tolerating it than enjoying it completely.
Overall, I’m loving my college experience. Thank you, Agnes, for making me feel taken care of. It really helps with everything going nowadays.
Until next time <3
