Whereas this is more "oh this could be really fun, ive never woken up in the morning thinking I really like what I do".

I hope its not just newbie buzz. No, it's not. :n00b

After not being in a formal classroom for 2 years I started my first year on a BUZZ. I was so incredibly excited and would tell everyone "i love school!". And then exams happened, and nuked me. Now I'm exhausted, and sick, and exhausted some more. Saturday is the last exam, I could use duas

The teacher said "this class is really about getting involved. the more you get involved the more you'll get out of it. this is not really a class, where you can stand on the sidelines and watch others." I think if it was more than about 12-15 in a class it would be difficult to do that.
I think you're really going to benefit from the smaller class, theres a lot more interaction with other students/thr prof, and its generally much more helpful.
While I was doing my taleem course, we had a group session with 8-12 girls, and we'd sit down in the morning/before tafseer and discuss the last days learning and such, and it was always so interesting to hear everyone elses perspective and ideas on things. So yeah, smaller groups are much better. Enjoy!
