First Couple Days of Class



Classes all day Monday and Wednesday. History of Sports looks like it will be an interesting course. It has to do with the history of sports, where it came from, what defines a sport, and what not. It also will discuss sports and how it interacts with politics and culture.

Introduction to Italian shouldn't be too hard. It's just like learning Spanish. There are a little pronunciations that are different..

History of the Catholic Church looks to be very interesting too. Looks like it will be all facts. The first couple days we went over the history behind the dollar sign how it goes back to Christianity, we also talked about the history of all religion. We also got a lecture on the 'Shroud of Turin'. Google it for more information, it was a very interesting talk today. We also get to go on site in a couple weeks to the best preserved archaeological sites in the world. It's under the Vatican City.. One of the early Roman Emperors buried people/artifacts there, hope to get more information on that tour.

Web Design looks to be pretty easy to. I will make a portfolio that I can also use for my Senior Design Project. I'll probably also make a new template for schmitzelectric.com as well.. I already revealed my skills to the professor and he has high expectations.

Lastly, we have an onsite tour that meets Tuesday morning. We also have a mandatory field trip to Pompeii at the end of September. We meet at sites around ancient Rome and have class there. I think it will end up being like a walking tour.
