this morning i had my first class. goodbye summer break. 
this one is ‘innovative leadership’ and i’m looking forward to it. should be interesting. the book we’re using is something i’ve already read (extra reading for a project 2 semesters ago) so i can slack on that a tiny bit. but the extra readings, which are handed out in this syllabus book at the first class, are huge. the book is about 2 inches thick. nice.
we’ve even divided up into small groups already for one of the assignments. i’m in a multi-cultural group (an aussie, me, 2 indians and someone from cambodia). i’ve worked with one of the guys before and know he’s a smart, hard worker. the others i’m not so sure about. at least i didn’t end up in a group with one person in the class. this person is a freaking nightmare who happens to like me so it was all i could do to set myself into a group and not get tangled up with them.
in 2 hours i have my first thesis class (or integrated project as they call it here). this is where i’m massively stressing. i have about 6 topics to decide on. not sure what i want to do when i grow up so not sure what direction to go in. but i know i want to commit to writing a 18k word document. (yes, possibly insane) when i was doing my MA @ the new school, i started my thesis and then gave up on it because i was working full time and not getting much accomplished. plus i realised i had completed all my course work and could file for graduation immediately and not have to do the thesis so that’s what i did. i’ve always regretted not doing it so here’s my second chance.
