Yesterday was my first day of classes (I know finally!!) Granted I did only have one class, but I did have class!! The classes here are very different than the ones I am use to at High Point. The class I had was Cross-Cultural Psychology and it only meets once a week for 2 hours! Not to mention we got a 10 minutes break in the middle! The class itself was very interesting, since it was the first class it was mostly an overview and throughout the class our lecturer would compare things to the opposite end of the cultural spectrum, Americans being completely individualistic, and East Asia being extremely collectivists. Thankfully I had another student from my group in class sitting next to me because we could not stop talking about how weird it was that they were talking supposedly about us. As the class ended we were both shocked and excited to keep going to the class, we could not stop talking about how we have the same impression of Europe that they have of us! What a wonderful first day class!
