Him: Back to Class?

What does this mean? I have to go back to school now? Well, not exactly, but it is going to be just as demanding or more.

This week I start my classes in the FSP. My first class being TSDM, Theatre Security Decision Making. Tons of reading, immense amounts of learning, and even more note taking so that my brain can comprehend at least half of what I am packing into it. Fortunately, there is someone else from my work that will be taking the class as well. I hope that we will be able to discuss things together a little bit and maybe learn from each other so that it is a little less hard for the both of us.

My classes run once a week, for three hours. Doesn't seem like a lot, but for a course that has a hundred and fifty page syllabus, I'm a little intimidated. Though after going through it, not in its entirety, I can see that the course is superbly organised and as long as I keep up with, at least, what is required, I should be fine.

I believe that one way for me to better understand and absorb the information that I will be learning is to write about it. For one thing, I need to work on my writing skills, and blogging is an awesome way to do that. Plus, if I can put what I've read into words on paper, then I at least can see what I've learned and work towards having a more complete understanding of the subject.

Since the first class will be this week, there were only two required readings to prepare for. The first was to get through the Syllabus, and second was "Levels of Analysis: A Conceptual Approach to Understanding National Security Affairs."

Don't want to bore too many people in one day, so I will leave it at that. But so far, things are going to be crazy busy in the coming few years.

-Another great day
