Why this course?

In this new trimester, I'm taking INTP 113-Introduction to International Relations.
I wanted to take this course since last year. But I was afraid to do so, because I'd be the only one from C3 to study this course. Besides, that was my first year in New Zealand and I wasn't that confident to be without my C3 friends in a course. I was determined early this year to take this course because I like it. But, for me to like something, is to know that thing first, and the only thing that I knew about this course, was just its name....and it sounded 'cool' to me...

But why?
1- I like it. There's no other course that I'm interested to take.
2- I wanna study it. I wanna know how scholars and academics look at international issues. As before this, I knew about all these stuff from newspaper and newsreport and I think there's possibility for them to be biased. So from this course, I think I'll know more neutral opinions on international issues.
3- I wanna know, what happen when I do thing that I claim to like?Will I work hard on it?
4- This course is the introduction and if this is truly my passion, maybe I can continue it in the future. Well, at least I have the basis and will know for sure that this is what I wanna do.


p/s: I have passed going to the lecture alone, and tomorrow (this morning,actually) is my first tutorial. Wish me luck!

till then...
