School

Yesterday was my first day of school. I have always gone to community colleges so it was a bit of a change for me. The classes are MUCH larger and there's not really air conditioning in most of the old buildings...which conveniently all my classes are in. Yesterday turned out to be a really hot day too!
My first class was DHE 180 (my only interior design class). I quickly found out that I already know all the material but I have to take the class anyway according to the department. I'm hoping that means I won't have to buy a textbook than! My second class was Anthropology 110. It's basically a video course on monday and wednesday and then discussions on friday. We don't have to come to class on monday or wednesday if we choose to and then watch the videos online. I'm not really looking forward to the class though becasue it is an Anthropology class so we already are going over some weird stuff. I have to take it though for my degree and to graduate. My third class is Sociology 205. I liked that class because the professor was pretty funny. It makes the class so much better if the professor has a sense of humor. The only drawback to this class was that I had the only desk in the entire class that was in the sun. It's also right next to the window...which wouldn't open. This class definitely did not have AC so I got waaaaaay too hot. I'll have to try to get there earlier and get a better seat. My fourth class was History 201. It's my only class that's 2 hours long and it definitly felt like it yesterday. It turns out it's not just a class about early US history...it's everything up until 1820. We learned all about the Siberians that came to North America and became the first Native Americans...all sorts of things. The professor is super picky on writing and so it should improve my writing skills during this course too. My last class of the day was Statistics 201. This class is also in a building with no AC. If they do have it, they didn't turn it on. I got to class 15 minutes early and I was in the back of a line about 100 people long for this class. I ended up sitting in the 9th out of 10 rows but I was lucky to get an end seat. There were probably close to 150 people in this class and it has no windows and no fans...nothing going on. It didn't help that just before our class there was another large class so it was already hot. Everyone was trying to fan themselves with notebooks and binders. It was pretty interesting.
So, in a nutshell that was my day....a really big nut, but oh well. I had a good time and I hope the rest of the term goes as smoothly.
