More and more since I started college, I've been noticing a really wonderful trend: the topics in my classes have actually been relating to each other and to everyday life.
For example, the discussion of woman's role in religion and how Christianity plays into that, which started in my Ways of Knowing class was continued in the discussion of Paradise Lost in my Masterpieces of British Literature and then showed up in the book I'm reading for fun, Mists of Avalon. There are many other examples crossing across my five classes and many interests.
This may be highly specific to the classes I'm taking this semester -- Biology might not have as many crossovers, for example -- but it's really been adding to the whole college experience. The moment of recognition when you hear something in conversation that you were just talking about yesterday in class, that's a really cool feeling.
Anyway, I don't have much more to say on this topic (or as Forrest Gump would say: "That's all I have to say about that") but I wanted to see if anyone out there in the blogosphere knows what I'm talking about. Feel free to comment as comments are always appreciated.
I'll be writing soon on class registration - right now all I can tell you is that it's coming up and I'm excited! I figured out what my ideal schedule would be, but I'm not sure if it will happen. Fingers crossed, I guess.
Cheers :)

Absolutely. I find that my Business, Photo, and Liberal Studies classes all intersect at some point (if not the whole time) during the semester. I think a big part of this is that most professors try to use relevant content that is as up-to-date as possible!
