Sewing vs. Cooking: My First Class for College

 

        Salut Everyone!

I am going to start a new thing were I mix words from the languages I know. My first language is American English (English is different from country to country, especially from the US to the Commonwealth. The differences usually are different spellings: meter vs metre and color vs colour; and different words for the same object: diaper vs nappy). My 2nd language is French, I did take French for 4 years. I know some German, my family mostly came from Germany, England, Scotland, and Ireland when they settled in the US. So there are some words in German I know just from my family.

Today's post is about my first course for college. I have taken a college course before. It was a dual enrollment course through my local community college and my high school. It was College Physics 1. The course was a 4 credits, I got a 105 on my final and a 4.0 for my final grade. This physics course was algebra based so unfortunately I won't be able to transfer my credits to earn my Chemical Engineering Degree. But, I will have known the theories behind different ideas.

So the college I am going to offers a summer program that allows you to take an elective to get experience doing a class through there system. We had to put rank 5 courses, my top 2 were a sewing course : Intro into Modern Quilting and my 2nd course is a Kitchen Science Course.

My plan was to get into the first course and post weekly about different quilting techniques, just to revamp my sewing section of my blog. But, I didn't get into that course. I got into my second choice Science in the Kitchen!

This course started July 1st, but we found out June 21st of what we course we got. On June 24th I did do my first 3 assignments, a quiz, an introduction post, and I had to write up a science post. That post was about Vitamin, Minerals, and one organ that helps your body digestive food. My organ was the pancreas. I did the assignments a week before the class started because my family is on vacation this week and I didn't want to worry about getting my assignments done. 


I wish everyone a wonderful summer and see you next week!
