Free Classes

Two weeks of teaching over. Not so bad. It is really interesting learning about the history of Hawai'i since I have to teach it and stay at least one day ahead of my students. One interesting fact is that the monarchy was really overthrown by a group of businesses known as the "Big 5" with the help of the US Navy in order to protect their financial interests. President Cleveland told them to give the land back to the people, but alas it was not. I will give more interesting facts as I learn them myself. Since I am working with the University of Hawai'i, I get 6 free credits. I started classes yesterday. I am taking The Science of Human Nutrition and elementary Italian, which is Italian 102. Apparently I was supposed to have taken 101 since today we started on Chapter 6. Oops. The professor said that he is not going to kick me out of the class but it is up to me to learn last semester's material. I bought my book today and will spend most of the three day weekend studying. Hope all is well. I am off the the Shanghai Circus tonight!!!
