Intriguing

Knowing how crowded the bookstore of UC Davis can get on the first day of class, I decided to go in a couple days earlier to pick up my books. Luckily for me, I was coming from Sacramento so the 25-minute drive (I drive slowly as to save gas and avoid the prices at the pumps) was worth the wait. I had no crowd or line, just an empty basement full of books. Since I didn’t read the description of the course before I went, I was a little worried that I had only found one book assigned for “UWP 101 Section 1”. I looked at every single tag hoping to find more than just one that said “Section 1” just to make sure I wasn’t missing any additional assigned readings. The title confused me, “New Keywords: A Revised Vocabulary of Culture and Society.” “I thought we would be reading novels and writing formal, boring papers about them, not reading about culture and society,” I was thinking to myself as I reluctantly moved up the stairs to pay. Once I returned home, hopefully expending the least amount of gas as possible, I looked up the course description and after further research through the professor’s links, I realized this class is not what I expected. Yet, the new ideas and concepts are intriguing. I think I might like this class...I’ve never “blogged” before.
