Journal Entry #1

The First Friday of Class

   Waking and walking to class Friday morning, I did not know what to expect out for class. Was there going to be anyone I knew in my class? Was I going to be the only science major? Was it going the professor going to be one of the weird, awkward and boring professors? What was the curriculum going to be like for the next week? Am I going to regret picking this as my May term?

Then I walked into the classroom and sat down at a desk near my friend Helen. I was so happy that I knew someone in the class and that I would have someone to talk too. As more people filed into the classroom, I recognized even more faces.  Then Professor Andrea Ednie came in and started handing out all of these papers to us. One right after the other, I was kind of overwhelmed with all of these assignments that are all due Friday!

After that we talked a little bit about nutrition. Mostly about concepts about general nutrition things like “do carbs cause weight gain”, why are whole foods more healthy than processed foods”, and “do most people in the U.S. each enough protein.” After some discussion on this, we headed over to join the other recreation and wellness class and watched a video called “Play Again.” This movie was about how much screen time today’s young people were getting, and how it was affecting them.

 After that we were dismissed. I left the class feeling more confident, and excited for the coming week. No I can’t wait to get started.
