My Semester In Scotland

Good news. I have finally chosen my class schedule for the semester. It is a great lineup that will provide a very wide variety of classes. To start off the beginning of the week, I have Applied Cisco Networks on monday mornings. This course is a great combination of lecture and hands on. Usually 1 hour of lecture and two hours of practical. Ill be able to play with all the gear and will come out of the class prepared to get my CCNP certification. (Cisco Certified Network Professional). This is a test that I can take when I come back to the states that is a very valuable certification to have since I am going into the computer field! My second class, also on Monday, is a little more laid back. It is the Study of Wine! We are doing everything from learning to taste wine, to understand how it is made to being able to go into a wine shop and pick of the best bottle for the best price. Get this. My final is the professor giving us three meals that we will have to try, and then name a wine that would best pair with that meal. Its such a fun class. Its also fun, because many of the other international students are taking it with me. The third class is Scottish Culture. This course is intended for international students to get to know the culture better. We will be going on field trips around the country, having many guest lecturers and I have been told there are a bunch of surprises we have to wait to find out. My final class is another computer network class that is going to teach basic networking skills needed for the computer world. Overall my classes sound amazing! I cant wait to finally get into the swing of things over the next couple of weeks. I will be sure to post all the fun details!
