Today I felt like a new school kid again. I bought a backpack over the weekend & a selection of super cool Eastern European school books - adorned with glittery kittens & puppies. I packed my bag the night before & looked up the classroom. Unfortunately someone decided to host the Super Bowl last night so we stayed up till 3am watching that, and it didn't end the way I wanted it to. Then a quick sleep before being up at 7am to get ready for class. I have two 8am starts as part of my timetable. I can handle 9am but 8am is pushing it a little. A generous amount of coffee was needed this morning.
We made it to our building with minutes to spare - there are only 2 buildings that our classes can be in and all mine are luckily in the nice new building. Our Professor didn't show up for 20mins, but that's standard practice here. He's a jolly German chap who spent the majority of the class chatting to us about random stuff and putting people on the spot & asking them questions about their country's history or economy. Safe to say I wowed him with my knowledge of both the UK and the US, and some other countries too. He was suitably impressed with me to commend me at the end of the class. He didn't take a roll call and find out our names so called me "Miss Russia", as I said I studying in Russia and my friend who supports the Giants (booo) "Miss New York". Amusing really. We did spend a large amount of time in the class talking about sex....in a class called "Business & Society". It was a hilarious class and I really enjoyed it. It's good to have such a fun Professor because it makes the early wake-up that much easier to deal with.
I have 2 classes tomorrow afternoon, Economics of Transnational Corporations and Hungarian 101. Full marks for Hungary so far - especially as I managed to start classes so promptly! :)
