Most of the classes I am in seem to follow this "movie" model system. In a way, it is sort of sad. By the end of twelve weeks, when you start to form relationships or get to know others better, it suddenly gets cut short and all the people you seemed to know are gone; off doing something else. Then you are placed new classes with more unfamiliar faces and the cycle repeats itself. This sort of system bothers me, because there is nothing or no one familiar to fall back onto anymore when change comes around. I have to admit, that the honors program is like "yogurt" in a sense to me. Some of the honors students have been in previous classes of mine, and it is nice to have familiar faces move on to the next class with, even though classes, teachers and other things can be different.
