Events 9/13-9/15

These few days were very busy.

Tuesday, I got up, and got to work. The morning was more working on the presentation with my group members. None of us were happy with our topic, but we managed to mold our ideas into some semblance of a presentation. The others had class in the afternoon, while I touched up my parts, and then studied Hungarian.

We had Hungarian in the late afternoon. I redid a quiz I had struggled on earlier, and did much better. Class focused on adjectives, which was interesting.

After a quick dinner, we had Central European History. As a three-hour class, it has a break in the middle. Before the break, we had some review of our readings, and some lecture. After the break we had the presentations. Ours went moderately well, although a few of our points were left out (one was my fault). That night I prepared for my Service Learning, and then went to sleep.



Wednesday morning, I got up, and went to Service Learning. It was quite nerve-wracking, going into classrooms, and just talking about stuff. I realized how little I know about the US, and that I need to learn the Hungarian names for things I like, like video games, movies, and books.

After I finished that, I got a kebab for lunch, went to Corvinus and signed something, then went to my late-afternoon Karoli course, Holocaust literature. This was the first class. It was a very interesting class, and we spent the second half reading a short story, which was quite moving. I'm excited to see where this class will go.

After that, I got back, ate dinner, and went art history. A decent class, focusing on different techniques, and how they changed over the years. My knees were hurting quite a bit during class, just sitting, and I realized that I need to rest them better.

Afterwards, I quick finished my homework for Late Antiquity class the next day (it was due at midnight) and went to bed.



Thursday, I rested my knees, so I could do a lot of walking on our excursion on Friday.

I had to go to Corvinus in the morning for economics. I'm absolutely loving that class, although the professor frequently speaks in absolutes; he's right about just about everything, and he can't fathom why the EU is making such (in his mind) poor decisions. The seminar after the lecture is great. If this is what grad school is going to be like (I believe there are grad students in this class), I'm going to love it.

On the way back, I got food. So after that, I didn't go anywhere all day.

Professor Kim had to deal with some stuff, so we started Late Antiquity an hour and a half late, halving the class time, so it was quite rushed. I got a bunch of Hungarian studying done. After class, I relaxed, got a little homework done, before going to bed a bit early; Hungarian the next day was at 9am.
