Today I took my last finals for summer semester! Yay! Only one semester left!! I had a lot of interesting classes this summer because I took whatever would fill up a full schedule and get me credits so that I can graduate in the fall. I needed at least 15 credits and I took 17 because I wanted to take the first aid class. These are the classes that I took!
First Aid: We learned CPR and basic first aid. It was a lot of fun, a lot of hands on practicing, and the whole time I was thinking "Please, I hope I never have to use any of this!" I recommend that everyone learns CPR because you could save a life!
Human Development: We went over the whole lifespan from conception to death. We ended on death, which was a little depressing, but very interesting too. I thought the most interesting part of the course was middle adulthood, just thinking about mom and dad and what we all have to look forward to!
American history - post-Civil War to present: I learned some cool things, but there was a lot of review, too. I had to take this class for a history minor and I think that knowing this recent history better will help me with my major, too.
Dress and Humanity: This class was a lot of fun because I got to be creative, which I haven't been able to do in a while! We learned about fashion and dress. There was a lot of technical classification stuff with it that I probably won't remember, but it was fun to be doing something different. I took this class for a depth requirement.
Natural Disasters: We learned about tectonic plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, flooding, tsunamis, landslides, climate change, etc. etc. Very interesting! One of the teacher's main points was before you buy a house check out the hazards because the real estate agent will not tell you about them and you could end up with a rock through your house!
World Civilizations: Another history class for my minor. At the time I thought it was a really boring class because we talked about all of these weird things like metallurgy and things you find in graves, but it is kind of helpful to know the very beginnings of humans. The most interesting part was trying to compare what science and history has said about humans with what religion says about it. The two aren't always compatible.
It was a good semester and now I am so excited for the break before fall! Yay for real summer!
