This is going to take some getting used to

Smallest lecture I ever took at Berkeley: Slavic 50. Enrollment of about forty students.
Smallest science lecture I ever took at Berkeley: Human Genetics IB 141, over the summer, with 141 students (see what the professor did there?).
Smallest non-summer science lecture I ever took at Berkeley: I don't know, they all had 300+ students. All of them.


Right now, my Medical Microbiology class is 18 students. Eighteen. 1-8. Six more than one dozen. Two less than twenty. This means a number of things!



1. It's the second day of class and my professor already knows my name.
2. We're expected to interrupt the lecture with questions every couple minutes.
3. The professor calls on us by name.
4. I can't fall asleep in class anymore. (At $500 a unit, I'm not sure I can afford to).
5. We have to make presentations in class.
6. We're expected to make study groups with classmates.

This is scary stuff, Berkeley friends! This goes against everything that my last four years has taught me. EVERYTHING. Only two or three Berkeley professors ever knew my name, I asked ONE question during lecture in like four years (it was during a Gender and Women's Studies class), I fell asleep way more than I'm willing to admit, and I prefer studying alone 95% of the time. 


I'm going to go listen to a Joy the Baker podcast and take a nap before my date with K tonight. :)
