I had a couple of 21 hour semesters, 18 hours during the main semester, 3 for intercessions.

I took a two week course on the Vietnam war that kinda “peaked” me. I had done a project in high school and learned about My Lai on my own, but then learning that the Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag and how fucked it was that the US was like “yah no, we aren’t going to let you have the sovereignty you won” - it eroded any faith I had in the government.

Another fave was a course on Byzantine art. The iconography was gorgeous - I was blessed to visit the Louvre a few years later and goddamn was it amazing to see those ikons.
