Exams have just finished and second semester is just around the corner. In this blog, I’m going continue a tradition that\u2019s been happening since grade 9, summarizing all my courses and what I think of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first course I have is media arts. Out of all the courses I\u2019ve had previously, I think media arts is one of the more enjoyable subjects. From my previous experience with media arts, the course taught us how to use photoshop, cameras, and the history of art trends, examples being cubism and dada. Speaking personally, the camera projects didn\u2019t really interest me and I primarily chose this course for the other two areas. Working with photoshop was really fun and I can see it being a useful skill in the future. As for the history of art trends, I find enjoyment learning about the past. Overall, I\u2019m interested to see what I learn from the course this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After media arts is english. Unlike my electives, I didn\u2019t have a choice as english is mandatory. However, I have enjoyed previous english classes, and don\u2019t find it as intimating compared to subjects like math or science. My biggest problem with the course is likely going to be the reading material. Most of the time, there will be at least one book I don\u2019t really enjoy that is a mandatory read. Basically, the enjoyment I get out of this course is directly correlated to how interested I\u2019m into the material. From what I hear, the Shakespeare book we\u2019re going to be reading is Othello. Unfortunately, unlike Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth, I haven\u2019t really heard of Othello. Due to this, I not really going into the subject with the same enthusiasm I\u2019ve had in previous years. However, I can\u2019t wait to see what we do this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, I have is technological design. Unlike the previous two subjects, I can\u2019t really talk about my past experience with the subject. However, I have heard a lot of good things about the course. From what I can tell, instead of building stuff like in construction, we\u2019ll be looking at how technology can be applied. For example, instead of building a wall like in construction, perhaps we\u2019ll be looking at how the techniques we used could be applied on a grander scale. I also have the feeling, we\u2019ll be doing a lot of technical drawings. Besides that, I not quite sure what else we\u2019ll be doing, for now I can only speculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the last course I have is chemistry. In all honesty, I\u2019m not looking forward to this subject. I was never the best at the sciences and I\u2019ve heard the chemistry teachers aren\u2019t the best either. We\u2019ll likely, be looking at more chemical reactions and stuff of the like. After asking my friends, they have also said chemistry is really hard. All in all, chemistry will likely my biggest problem this semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, I have a pretty good feeling about this semester. I\u2019m interested in almost all the courses I got, besides chemistry. However, I\u2019m just happy I even got the courses I wanted this time around. Last year, when I was in grade 10, I got stuck with a few courses that I didn\u2019t really want. I just hope I get good grades for the second half of my grade 11 year.\u00a0
