Liz Wallace/ Whetstone Contributor I have now attended classes. My first class was called international affairs, and my second United States foreign economic policy. This week will be my fourth week of classes, and my schedule is actually interesting too. I have classes for three days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and then from 2:00 p.m. until 5:15 p.m.
Being an international student allows me to meet so many other people from all over the world. I have friends from many different countries, including Sweden, Russia, Spain, Japan, and Turkey (along with others).
My next trip is to Hungary, and in May, I am hoping to visit my roommate in Turkey at her home. I am also planning a trip to go to England, Ireland, and Scotland.
I actually went on a trip to the battlefields from World War I.
We went to cemeteries for those that were Austrian, British, German, and of course French. We visited a memorial for those that died but their bodies were never found. And it was kind of disturbing, but cool. The memorial is located where they also fought, so sometimes people still find bodies from that time and once they are identified, if their name is on the memorial, people will come and “erase” the name and give the person a proper burial with a gravestone. I thought that was interesting, but scary too, to think that you could be walking near the memorial and possibly find a body.
We also went to a museum from the war and we got to wear German, French and British hats that they wore to protect their heads during war. We also got to see the trenches that the Canadians built when they fought in War World I and walked through them. It was incredible because they twisted and it was trench after trench after trench.
