　　I am taking 5 classes here-English，Spanish，and three general education classes.The general education classes are the big lecture classes.I am not too fond of them，because I come from a very small high school.For the most part，though，I love my classes.I am a political science major.I want to attend law school after I graduate and eventually work for the CIA.

　　As much as I miss my parents being this far from home，I love living here.It helps that I get to see my sister almost every day.I couldn't have chosen a better college for myself.
