First week…
Well, I’m about five hours away from making it safely through my first week back. Unfortunately (of course) I switched a course and now don’t have the correct book and not enough money to buy it either. So maybe I didn’t make it through completely off the hook, but I did make it. After the first week, everything gets a lot easier. Having to go through a break-up first day didn’t help either, but, again, I’ll make it.
It’s remarkable, sometimes, what people are capable of withstanding. Our resilient, even adaptive, natures are shocking to me. And yet every little upset seems to be a disaster. How does this happen? I don’t know, because, somehow, everyone always manages to pull through the ‘crises’. I secretly believe this is because people are so bored most of the time that they have to have something to worry about or they might realize it.
Now, my classes are perfect so far. They are fun and exciting, I have great teachers, and even the ones I didn’t really want to go into are amazing J Okay, so they aren’t perfect maybe, I have a few complaints, but I can live with that.
Biotechnology is fun so far; I love the hands-on kinda stuff, like incubating cheese in our armpits (ask me about this one if you want to know, I’m not explaining it here). My literature class is fun too, but this is where my complaining comes in; almost everyone is a know-it-all. Not to be rude, but it’s true. Maybe being a know-it-all is fine in some situations, but in a classroom where the teacher doesn’t monitor the speaking with ‘hands-raised’ policy, it turns them all very rude. There are a select few who just talk and tread all over the quieter, more timid sort, when the quieter people often have cool thoughts on a subject because, again, I’m sorry, but when you shut up a bit, you are thinking. I mean, if you know something great about a certain subject, or if you have an opinion, that’s great! Voice it! But don’t deny others their chance to speak just because they don’t butt in fast enough.
So I have a slight aggravation there. Maybe it’s just because I already had to learn this lesson, but it is extremely irksome to me. Other than that, my math class is really fun, I haven’t started creative writing for another hour, and music appreciation is refreshingly not what I thought. I especially enjoy this because our teacher is really great. He’s funny, makes mistakes when he talks just like everyone else, and is very relaxed.
So I’m enjoying everything so far (except for the lack of sleep… yeah, don’t like that…). I’ll keep ya posted and will finish my bit on the DR as soon as possible J Goodbye for now and God bless!
