First Day of School Redux
Well, I survived my first day at college, again. I have my A.A. but that was at a state college in Tennessee. This was my first time being at an actual four year college. I maintain the campus is not user friendly, but it's very beautiful! Thankfully, I only have to traverse two buildings. Unfortunately, they are very far apart and I have 15 minutes between classes. I was thinking about getting a bike rack and just bringing my bike. Something to think about.
My statistics teacher is very cool. I didn't think she was going to be at first, she was very quite. She is tech savvy and taught the class by writing on a Wacom. We also answered quiz questions with our smart phone. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up but I had no problems and it was cool being able to participate in real time.
My Chemistry teacher has a doctorate of/in... Chemistry. She's an older lady, kind of the epitome of a cat lady. She even told a cat story about how her cat wakes her up at 2am every morning so she writes tests and cards about... Chemistry. She's very old school and it's obvious she doesn't like technology. She wrote in chalk on an actual black board. I had forgotten that smell. She also moves her mouth in a very disconcerting way that old people sometimes do. Almost as if they are chewing their own teeth but it's a compulsive lip inner curl thing and it's constant. I just focused on her writing and not her talking.
My art and Oceanography are going along swimmingly as well. Starting with Egypt and Snails. Those two are my fun classes. Although I can see how easily it would be to fall behind. Going to take work. Lots of it.
I did yard work today and got swarmed by some kind of mutant flies, that bit or stung, I couldn't tell. I have whelps though. Made dinner and did homework. I wish I had the words to express how happy and excited I am. I'm exhausted too, but it's the good kind.
A sentimental part of me wishes that I wasn't taking this journey on my own. However, I know that by doing this for me, at least making these first steps by myself, will make me a better person. Those that know me, know that I do not lack in the self confidence department (excluding my body). I'm pretty sure that I am capable of doing anything. So it's not proving to myself that it can be done. It's more of a, 'hey... you aren't happy with your job so do something about it.'
Anyway, at this point, I'm rambling.
