Chapter 20 Bullet Point

• We're very happy that the first day of school is over. It's been hard to get back into the swing of things, but I've enjoyed the break. It means you'll be at the apartment less often and see Kent less often.
• This semester, I had a lot of classes, but I didn't have any presentations, group projects, or labs, so I didn't have to do as much physical work. Still, getting a degree in the arts was hard in other ways. Like readings for the class, class discussions, taking part in class, and showing up. It's all fun and games until you have to read three 40-page articles for one class.
• I also went to seminars this year. I had to take them to get my high school diploma, and they were hard, small, and scary. There was a lot of pressure in a class discussion to come up with your own ideas and opinions and say something useful. It didn't really change the way I went to school, which was shy and nervous.
