Three Different Asian American Studies Courses in One Semester

This semester I am taking three different Asian American Studies Courses (Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese). You must be wondering why I am doing this. First off I am an Asian American Studies major, well not officially yet. San Francisco State University still has me as a Journalism major. I need to boost my GPA this semester for me to change my major from what my advising counselor told me. I chose Asian American Studies as my major because it was the only course that I past. I felt that studying Asian American would be a good challenge for me. Also the other reason is because I am Asian myself. It would be great to know the other Asian nationality in America.

The three courses that I am taking are interesting. We’re learning the struggle of refugee leaving their country, how they settle in America, and knowing how Asians are. All three instructors are great. They’re giving the class the chance to earn extra credit points, which I will take full advantage of. They seem to know the subjects very well plus they’re the nationality that they are teaching.

I am trying to know the students that are in my class. Most of my classes are assigning us to work in a group project. Most of us don’t know how we’re going to work as a team yet. Hopefully all of us will get along and work together.

I hope that I do not lose my mind in passing all three courses. It can be a struggle to keep up with three different nationalities. As long as I keep all the nationalities in separate categories then I’ll be alright.
