One thing is for sure, classes in Ireland are a lot different than what I am used to. Classes are once a week and include two hour lectures with seminars, practicals, or other extra study groups that a class might need. Some classes depending on the field, luckily not mine, change week to week whether it is the time or day a class occurs. I was going to take an environmental science module but since those courses change week to week, they overlapped at times with my two psychology modules. Therefore, I am taking all psychology courses now: Social Psychology, Individual Differences, and Intro to Psychology. I know, I have already taken Intro, but there was not another course for me to take that would work with my schedule and not completely take over my time abroad with coursework.
Any who, my week begins with Social on Monday in the evening, then Into on Wednesday in the morning, ending with Individual on Thursday in the morning. This leaves time for me to travel Thursday evening to Monday morning. This week was not really fun for traveling because I was sick for the second half of the week. So far, I really do not have any idea what I am doing when it comes to coursework. We use blackboard and it is my first time using it but it is easy to use. The thing I do not like is that everything is not very organized and the system is kind of lackadaisical, which is hard for me since everything is very go go go in America. I am not saying this part of the culture in Ireland is a bad thing, it is just very hard to get used to when I am used to more order. Especially for someone with anxiety, this part of being abroad is going to be the most challenging for me. So here is to the weeks to come, and hopefully there is some traveling involved.
