Summer Classes Begin

Since I want to always have things to do, I'll be taking two online classes at Black Hawk College this summer. In fact, they have already started - just today.

Speech 101 (Principles of Speech Communication) is required to graduate, but that's not why I'm taking it. I just finished freshman year at Rivermont Collegiate, which included Speech I. Since Speech II is receiving the Ax of New Headmaster's Executive Decision, I wanted to continue my speaking education because it's very important to communicate verbally with customers, business associates, and people in general. My experience doing YouTube should help here.

Economics 270 (International Business and Communication) is an elective I'm taking to continue the studies I started in ECON 222. It seems to focus less on actual economics and more on business negotiations with people around the world. I'm taking this mainly because I took Chinese at Rivermont this year and learned a lot about the difference in culture. These should turn out to be useful skills; China and Japan are super important world figures.

Driver's ed is wrapping up, so these fit together perfectly to usurp my summer vacation!
