Classes

Classes started yesterday and already they're not what I expected. Taking a history class in Greece, from a teacher I think is Greek, it seems more like story telling than an actual class. She lectures the whole time but the way she speaks I have no idea what I'm supposed to be writing down or focusing on, or even really what she's saying. It seems everything is a big what if, or it sort of happened like this. Yesterday we went over the syllabus (at least I think we did) and today back in class the teacher asked, 'did I go to fast for anyone yesterday? everyone got it okay we can continue?' And I was all 'whoah, hold up. didn't you go through the entire history timeline yesterday?' I was under the impression we had a month to learn this stuff. I'm so confused, and I don't know if it's the teacher or if this is how all classes in Greece work. I think I'll be sticking to reading the text book though. Might be more helpful, probably understand what's going on better. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way about my class, tried talking to the others, I think they do but might understand it better than me, or not. I'm really not sure at this point, and it's really only day two.
