I Might Be Ahead of the Game

I just started classes last week after completing my first semester ever of summer school. I'm enjoying the courses: Intermediate French, Politics of the Middle East, Comparative Politics, Public Policy, Citizenship, and Campaigns and Elections. Maybe what makes them so enjoyable is my ignorance or lack of familiarity coupled with the immediate relevance and timeliness of the subject matter. I've kept up with my reading and managed to watch the Democratic National Convention (okay I tivoed it). I even already checked out books from the library to start research for a report due in December. Granted this is only the second week of classes, but I think I might actually be ahead of the game this time...
