Classes begin at PUC
My first day at Purdue Calumet was interesting. First of all they consider a class of 35 students to be large...I didn't know what to do, that was probably the smallest class I've been in sense high school. I'm taking 15 credit hours, and there's a lot of reading to be done and such...and I don't have my books yet. They've been ordered, but you see I don't like to get my books in advance because you never know if it's the right book or if the instructor is even going to use it! But all is taken care of now. I'm taking Intro to Management which seems like it might be a hard class, but also very informative and the teacher seems nice and I can understand her, which I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to. Then I'm taking Child Abuse and Neglect, that professor is funny and it seems like a really interesting class...however I'll probably just be pissed off a lot because that's never a great topic. Then I go to Intro to Probation/Parole...this class seems pretty intense and is a larger course load than I thought...I was sitting there like, really?! For probation/parole...alright whatever. Then I have Criminology...again...for the third time...and I'm scared. Every time I've taken this class it's been different and at Purdue it's a 200 level class and here at Purdue Calumet it's a 400 level class....what the hell?!?!?! The teacher seems very intense and he's all old and bony and such...I fear! And the worst part of this all is that my classes start at 11 AM and go back to back until 4:50...I only have 10 minute breaks and that time is spent getting to the next class...it blows. On Thursdays I have to add Criminal Investigations to my schedule. I have that class once a week for 3 hours...but I've already taken the class my senior year of high school and still have the book and everything, but Purdue doesn't accept credits from Vincennes University...assholes. So, that's life right now...it's busy...at least I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can study more. I thought about getting a job, but now I just don't know, I really need to focus on school this year! I need to do well! Alright, off I go!
