Bard Starts- Junior Year

I'm back at school and back on this blog.
What can I say, the summer flew by so fast. It was great though, it was really great.

I am taking four classes and ASC lab.

My classes so far:
Design of Programming Languages- it is going to be hard, I can tell already. The minute Bob started talking about how its great that we all took Theory of Computation because it is going to help us, I thought, oh no. I don't remember too much from that class, and I didn't understand it all too great. Let's just say, it wasn't my favorite class.

Robotics- We don't have any tests in this class. Yay! That takes some stress away, I hate cramming all of the info into my head and stressing out about tests. Instead we have a quiz every two weeks to make sure we are reading the material. He also is a new teacher, Keith, and he seems fun. He really wants to make us like robots and be interested in them. He said we can program in any language we want, which is....interesting. Then he goes, Java isn't the best one to use for these. Hah! So the one language I actually know (well) won't help me. Well, that's okay. I'll....figure something out. Who knows.

Jewishness beyond religion- Well, this class is really big. It's strange to see people that aren't Jewish answering the question, what does it mean to be a Jew. I don't know, it's kind of weird. I mean I guess it's good to have another perspective..but I don't see why they want to be in the course. The teacher seems alright, but her voice is quiet and she is mousy, so she could easily bore me like crazy. Also, I don't know how interested I am about what it means to be Jewish. I don't have identity issues. I guess I'm in the class more for the history aspect rather than the personal insight.

Hebrew- This class is actually pretty good. It is pretty small, and I actually found out that a girl from Millburn High School is in it. That's pretty crazy, what a small world. She is a freshman and friends with a guy I know (Justin) and apparently he told her I went to Bard and she recognized me. So far, we have been going over the alphabet and learning to write the letters. I also like the teacher, he is the rabbi at Bard.

So that's it. As long as I don't start thinking about the future, I don't go totally crazy.
