Although I usually try not to complain, I am really frustrated and want to get it out, so feel free to skip this entry if you don't want to hear frustration right now.
Today I started school for the semester. My first class is Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. I'm excited to learn about this subject and specifically how to actually do research. I was pretty pleased by my first class. The teacher was upbeat and seemed excited to be there and teaching about something she enjoys.
Then came my second class. I signed up for the class People and Cultures of the World. I have a diversity requirement and this class sounded like the best on the list I had to choose from.
In my mind I had decided that the class would probably discuss some of the different people and cultures of the world. I thought maybe I would learn things that would be useful in doing therapy with people from different cultures.
I thought the titles for the books for the class seemed rather focused on one part of the world, but didn't think much more about it. When I arrived at class the teacher was talking to some of the students about her travels to Africa.
Before long I realized that the class would be focusing ONLY on Africa. While I don't think this would bug me if I had signed up for that, I didn't know and therefore am pretty frustrated about it. I guess I will learn a lot about Africa this semester. Hopefully the class improves and I will end up being very glad that I took this class. We'll see. :)

You never know, it could give you a lot more insight than you thought possible. I hope you end up loving it.
Is it too late to switch. After the first day a lot of people do.

If you stay in that class you can realize that Africa has had the influence of and has influenced many cultures.
But I agree. I would have looked forward to learning more about the far east as well.
