School.... It's work. Make no mistake about it. When you are a full-time college student you are actually paying someone else to employ you with a 35-40 hour a week job of studying. It's only the first week and already my head hurts.
Lets see what is going on. Speech. Interesting class. About 1-2 chapters a week. I take lots of notes. One the upside, the professor is really funny and good at expalining things. What else would you expect from a speech teacher though?
Psych. Easy. Simple. Elementary. That is all.
Economics. Ewww! At least 2 chapters a week, plus additional homework, plus we are starting to turning ideas for a 7 page paper. Eww. Not a lot of fun there. At least htis professor is looking an interactive classroom. It is always comforting to see that people are interested in your ideas and encourage you to say them. I think that this is going to be my second most difficult class.
My most difficult class is going to be English. I decided in my infinite and awe-inspiring wisdom to take English with the "English Nazi" himself. I willingly put myself in this position. Though I didn't even realize it at the time but I alsoi placed myself right in the line of fire by sitting one row from the front and right in the middle of the classroom. So much for that whole self-preservation instinct. We were all so lovingly reminded today that this class has a 50-70% "mortality rate." That rate consists of those who don't drop out by the way.
After this I have my easiest class, Humanities Forum. Read. Anwser questions. Watch videos. I think that I can deal with this.
Of course at the end of the day I am normally wound up so tight that I know I am difficult to live with. The stress is getting to me. I'm trying to absorb everything, and since the topics are all so different it's not working very well. I think that this upcoming mini-vaction will do both Garthic and I good. I'm hoping that it will be as pleasuable as I picture it in my head. If not, someone is going to die.
