how classes differ

one of the nicest things to get used to here is how much different classes are than at smith. at home, i had classes daily until 3pm. sometimes not on fridays. but here, each class meets for only one or two hours every week. therefore, i have monday, wednesday, and friday off, with each only having one class in the mornings. however, this comes back to bite me in the ass on tuesdays and thursdays, because i'm doing so much during the day that i don't have time to just... sit.

the other major difference is the work load. each class here has one, maybe two essays, and a final exam, whereas at smith, we'd have papers all throughout the semester, and barely exams. therefore, i'm spending a lot of time to myself now, but will probably have to study, or something, come exam time.
