I apologize in advance for the extremely short post. I was really tired especially after going through two 3-hour lectures in one day, one of which I wound up not liking too much. I hope to write more tomorrow about what happened today.

Update:

This day was my first day of classes. I found my afternoon class, SS2027 Social Statistics and Research Methods, to be quite interesting. Though it’s not directly related to my major, it will be helpful to learn some stats and research methods since they are both important. After a one-hour break in between was a cultural identity course (CTL3535 Searching for Cultural Identity: Reflections upon Cultural Politics and Policy). I found it to be quite challenging since it requires a lot of intensive reading beforehand, and it’s a lot easier when students already know how to read Chinese so I’m at a huge disadvantage. I may consider dropping this course depending on how things progress.
