to college
started college, like it was no big deal.......
actually i did. i really did i decided i'm probably more qualified then lots of other people who were there just by being in IB and having mrs. durant for an entire year every single day.
so then i stopped worrying. and classes begun. class is okay. i have complaints about nearly every teacher (besides my sop4704 teacher <3333333 him!) and complaints about the struture of class....... the complaints usually are:
1. i thought i left highschool why is this shit all the same (teachers reading the syllabus aloud)
2. teachers reading the syllabus aloud
3. disrespectful classmates
4. overexcited or undereducated-sounding professors (no really)
5. lack of interesting classmates
6. lack of interesting subject matter (in my math class...... we talked about how to make angles, what types of angles, a ray, a point, how to name angles etc etc etc........ i couldn't even make up this shit if i tried, i swear)
anyway the list goes on, but i still like it. it has a lot of things that stanton is missing:
1. three dollar h. krishna vegetarian meals in a courtyard with music
2. a library selling really old/awesome books
3. a school setting (courtyards)
4. lots and lots of people
5. real diversity
however it does have
1. tremendous amounts of heat
2. lots of kids from stanton, who are everwhere i need to go and am, therefore i am forced to see them all
3. a weird ass bus system that i still haven't quite managed to figure out (how do i get on the same bus and always end up at a different last stop?)
4*. a huge spaced out walk-intensive heat boiler of a campus
*this is only a problem now. but, i should not be forced to look cute under these conditions, no way jose.
now for the post:
yeah, i started classes on wednesday. they're alright, i think i had higher hopes for them all and they didn't really reach my expectations. then again it was the first day. i really wanted to dive in and start learnign things but no, mostly the teacher read us the syllabus cause we've managed so far and suddenly forgotten (as a collective whole) how to read.... my social psych class the one i was really nervous over and excited about is cool. i said earlier that i like the professor cause hes (a) new (b) letting me take the class although i should not be allowed to and (c) pretty cool -- [he let us out when some of the class was missing so they wouldn't be behind and attendence is not neccessary] oh and the text book seems really good
anyway, college is far too similar to high school without the awesomeness of tess durant's bitchyness...... i really miss that. i know its weird, but i really wish i could have gotten a college professor exactly like tess durant! she wouldn't have taken any of that shit. and there certainly would not have been any of this "who are you" worksheet-bullshit.......
i donno, remember in highschool when they were like "you should have learned this already, i'm not going back over it" yeah, that is absolete in college. they looooooooooooove to just review. wtf! i'm taking really easy classes...... i wish i would have gotten another hard packed class
i guess its just a weird transition from classes you dont want to take to classes you want to take, cause you want them to be harder immediately, and you want them to start immediately, and you want them to be good. thats a lot of expectations for one little class, ya know?
anyway, i've been chilling with megan sayles lately, to asail some boredem........ it works.......
