Semester
For some reason I have not been able to sleep the last three nights. Weird. I wish I would. I am exhausted.
School started this week.
General Physics: At first, this class was a reoccuring nightmare in which I tried and didn't get it and failed. I've had the class twice now and I think I have a bit of a feel for it. The professor is "Dr. Battle"...battle...scary. She's one of those really uptight women who occasionally has a sense of humor and whips out the dry wit (which I appreciate) and is fairly nice as long as no one crosses her. Our book is four chapters. Each chapter starts out really easy and gets hard towards the end of the chapter. So, I will understand all the easy parts in all four chapters, yay. Moderate difficulty might be iffy, and I'm wondering about the hard parts. I fear the cumulative exam at the end of the semester. I am not usually so good at these.
Construction Planning and Cost Control: sounds harder than it is, so far. The professor, Lisa, is nice and mellow as long as you don't say anything she doesn't like. Who said something she didn't like the first class? Yep, me. I gave her the "I have a crippled immune system which leads to often sickness and multiple absences" speech and she was like "you know I can't reteach every minute of my class to you, right? People who miss 1 or 2 classes usually fail." No. I've just come down with this, it's new, I have no idea how to handle myself. So far it's a review of info I got from 2 or 3 classes I've taken in the last year and I'm getting it. I hope I continue to get it.
CAD II: This is the class I am retaking. I got dropped from it last semester for my multitude of absences due to my sickness. I didn't think it could get any more boring the second time, but I was wrong. She spent two hours explaining a 4 page syllabus, I kid you not. I need to remember to bring work from other classes so I don't get bored. And since I already know what the sememster project entails, I can work on that early. I guess something good comes of this. I may die of boredom though.
