Busy, Busy, Busy, Cough.

School has started again. The first term of '07-'08 is in it's second week. My take on the classes I'm in?

Public Relations as Communication Management - A true PR course. One group project and occasional homework.
Writing for Public Information - "Journalistic, creative writing, in advertising and public relations contexts." Lots of writing and test, but sounds like fun and a chance to improve a bit.
Political Communication - Entire 2 hr. period spent reading a PowerPoint course outline slide (singular) aloud to us and explaining the meaning of words we wouldn't understand. A waste. 4th year students tell me it won't get any better.
Critical Analysis of Messages - Graduate level reading assignments. I needed almost an hour to get through the one page handout. Dr.K loves to remind us how well-read she is. I'll learn a lot.
Communication Consulting and Training - Learn to host training and consulting seminars! Yahoo! Prof. is very good and course work should be very informative. Group project.
International Communication - Group project is huge.

Looking at pictures in Flickr you'll see that Ton, Ying, Nes, and I went on a trip together to kill time before school started. We went West to the Mae Klong river and stayed at a home-stay on the river. Then we came back East, past Bangkok, and South to Koh Chang. The bus broke down and we ended up at Koh Lan (Thousand Island) instead. We stayed in another home-stay, rented motorcycles, cruised around and took pictures, crashed the motorcycles, and came back to start school.

I took some pictures of my new apartment as well!
