Reaction to my first class

My first thought when entering this class was that I didn't recognize anyone. Usually coming into a film class I see one or two people at least that I've been in classes with before, but not this time. It'll be interesting getting to know some new faces in the film studies department. I've had night classes before and the majority of the time I would find myself extremely tired and ready for bed by the time class was half way over. But in this class, even though it's 3 hours long and later than other night classes, I found myself surprisingly awake. Maybe it was what we were talking about or the fact that I really really needed to stay alert since I had already missed the first class due to being waitlisted. I see some similarities between this class and Shannon's 302 experimental class last semester. A LOT of focus on film! Which is great, I still feel like I don't have enough experience with it even after last semester. I'm looking forward to what this class has to offer for me.
