Day 6

My University ID

We officially registered to be students at the University of Ghana today. So I got my ID card and went around to register for classes. Their system here for registering is so different from ours though. Their catalog will say what classes might be offered for the semester, and then you have to walk around to the notice boards of all the different departments that you want to take classes from to check to see if they are offering the courses you are interested in. The core classes are usually offered but the electives it’s just luck of the draw. The professors just choose which classes they feel like teaching that semester. So I went around to the Philosophy department first and found out that they aren’t offering the Philosophy of Art class that I was REALLY excited about. So, now I am trying to figure out what to take instead of that course. I also went and signed up for a traditional African dance class, though I’m not sure whether I am in the right level, so I just took the beginner class and I figure I can move up if I need to. The drama department puts up their class schedules tomorrow. So now I am just trying to figure out what other class to take. I was thinking I would either take a Greek epic and drama class or a traditional African drumming class. The drumming would be cool and I might be able to incorporate it into my senior project next semester at Fairmont, but I really love Greek theatre and I might take a Greek play and do an African adaption for my senior project. Any suggestions?
