College Continued

Well, first week wasn't so bad. I had to change my shcedule a bit but I am thrilled with the change. I dropped Math 111B and picked up Political Science 201. I have a very interesting and easy going PS teacher, which is awesome. And this new class requires no text book. That's right, NO TEXT BOOK TO BUY!! I could cry for joy. That's an extra 98 bucks or so in my pocket. The text for the class is all online. I'm loving this.

I already have a test on Monday for Writing 121 but it's one I'm excited about honestly. The teacher is very entertaining.

And my Math teacher is awesome as well. She doesn't speak English well at all. But the grammar for this class is all stuff I have learned, so now I'm getting the actual speaking practice that I've needed for so very long.

The only down side would be that I haven't felt anything but entirely exhausted since last Sunday. But I'm young. College students are supposed to abuse their youth, right?

I even got a little yellow button for free that reads 'I read banned books.'

I love college.

College

I start college tomorrow and already I have a bit of a predicament. A new MMO called Aion launched today and under normal circumstances I would play this game until about 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. But I have to be up at 8am to go to my very first college class ever. AND my last class ends at 9pm tomorrow. It's going to be a very long day.

Monday and Wednesday:
WR 121 11am-12:50pm
MTH 111B 1pm-3:30pm
SPA 201 6:30pm-8:30pm
SPA 211 8:30pm-9pm

The first two are at Rock Creek. The two Spanish classes are at Cascade. So I have 7 hours of class over a 10 hour period. Plus on a normal basis I'll be leaving Saint Helens at 10am and arriving back home again at 10pm. Twice a week. Blugh. I'm excitedfor it, truly I am, but it's not going to be so easy. Plus I'm working split shifts from 10am-2pm and 5pm-9pm 4 days a week. Ah, college life. At least my rent is super low so I will not be dining twice a day on ramen noodles. Though I will have to learn to get up early, eat breakfast before leaving, and pack food for the days I have school.

Realistically I'm probably going to stay up until like 2 in the morning to play Aion. But I know I ought to go to bed around 10. Ugh. Maybe I'll be smart and crap out at like midnight. It feels incredibly stupid, but I'm loving this game, and I must play it for hours tonight. Must.
