A (very rare) Class I Trully,Sincerely Enjoy

I must admit, I had never been so enthusiastic about a class ever in my whole university career. My Antrophology 2W03: Aztecs and Incas class is just...Epic. Most of the other students in the class came in with tired and worned out faces but I enthusiastically sat in the frontmost seat with a wide smile. Mind you...the class is 7 pm -10 pm every Wednesday night.




So why I love the Aztecs? I guess the primary reason is because I have been to Mexico. I am familiar with the Aztec cultures and have been to an ancient pre-Aztec pyramid, Teotihuacan. So I can understand and relate the things the prof says to my own experience. It is the same feeling a Malaysian would feel when they are taking a Malaysian History class in their respective university. Though I must admit the Aztecs' history is more interesting :P.



That doesn't mean I don't enjoy any of my Political Science class. I like lectures on political issues...I have always been lucky to have super cute TAs. This year my poli sci TA is a dashing, hunky Greek guy with a cute Greek accent.But somehow this Aztec class has become some sort of an escapade from the mundane topics I encounter in political science.Anthropology 2W03 is just...unique. There is so many interesting thing to learn. I even discovered the area my boyfriend and his family live,Azcapotzalco(the place of the red ants),was an ancient capital of the Tepanec people. And I just discovered the Metro station 5 minutes from his house was named after an ancient Tepanec leader of Azcapotzalco called Tezozomoc. How cool is that? While I was there I never know all this until I did my readings a few days ago.

Contrasting my hunky poli sci TA, the Anthro prof is in no way good looking. But the class itself sort of...takes me back to ancient Mexico for 3 hours every Wednesday. Too bad it is only for one term....I will really miss it. At least I already promise myself to take a Pre-Columbian Mayan class next year. So...am looking forward for another exciting class next semester :).
