Classes started today.  I’ve been looking forward/dreading this day all summer.  Sure I’m happy to start school just because this is college and I know I’m going to enjoy it more than HS.  The whole HS model just doesn’t fit me!  My attention span is very small and having class for 7 straight hours just doesn’t work for me.  They claimed it wasn’t that bad cause we had 5 minute passing periods...that was a bunch of bull.  Trying to get from class to my locker to class didn’t leave any extra time.  Here the most classes I have in one day is 2 and the they are 10 minutes apart.  Plus we have access to vending machines and the such.  Here’s my schedule.

MW - EngComp 11:30-12:50
Speech 1:00-2:20
R - Econ 12:00-2:50
F - Int. Alg. 1:00-3:50

Since I have to take public transit to school I tried to keep the number of trips down.  I was scheduled for 15 credit hours but I was dropped from a classes due to an issue on their part so I decided to stick with 12 credit hours.  If I have to I’ll take a summer class.  No biggy.

I really like my Eng Comp teacher (not prof, yet), other than being cute, she seems pretty flexible with policies and willing to help any way she can.  The only thing I have against her is that she is a very strong activist for native americians.  Now that in itself is not really a bad thing it’s just that in her description of the course she described 3/4 of the assignments having to do with Native Americian history/culture which I know completely nothing about and don’t have any interest in.  I know it’s a field in which she is highly accomplished due to her heritiage but that doesn’t mean that should be all we should write about.  But I do like that she lets us out of class early most of the time so that give me some leasure time between my classes to check email and the such.

My Speech class on the other hand kinda sucks.  It’s not that I dislike public speaking.  It’s that already see very differently than the teacher so it makes it hard for me to trust what I hear.  She is a sticker but acts like she is fun and flexible.  I don’t appriciate people like that.  A spade is a spade.  I think I’ll easily get through the class but I don’t know how much I’ll like lecture.  I’ll mainly stick with the text.

My notebook is my best friend in class.  In these too classes I am the only one so far to have one.  If you guys have yet to get a copy of OneNote you really need to.  I had it with Office but they gave me a free copy at orientation so I threw that on my backup server for well....backups.  Between that and Outlook my life is on that notebook.
