Classes

Ok I am going to be a little bit of a nerd right now and talk about my classes. In all honesty, I absolutely love them. Yes I. love. school. I am finally admitting it, you all have been saying it for years.

Friday nights: "Kari go back to the library", yeah yeah, well I really do like my classes at the American Business School.

The staff is completely international from all over the world. My french teacher is actually from France, which is ironically the first French French teacher I have ever had. Shes really enthusiastic which helps at 8:30 in the morning for a 3 hour lesson. I was a little worried because it is an advanced french class, but surprisingly I understood just about everything. Then I had my Post-Impressionism art class. After one class I already look at art so differently. The teacher was addressing the symbolism of the colors, juxtapositions within the painting, body language, placement, and the relevancy of the time period to really dissect the message of the painter. Its funny how you can go to museums all your life and not really understand anything about the concept besides that your staring at some really old paintings.

I also had International Marketing however I switched into that later so I actually missed that class, but I was briefed by the teacher and I have her for my Public Relations class as well. I really enjoyed that class too, its clear my teachers are masters in their fields and they are passionate about what they are teaching. For Public Relations we are going to pick a scandal in the news, for political, sports team, celebrity, charity, or corporate scandals and compose a PR strategy and plan to counteract that negative publicity.

The only class that was slow was, business to business marketing. We talked about supply chains for 3 hours. However, its day 1 so I am not too worried.

It looks like its going to be a really interesting semester.
