Birthday fun time!
I forgot to past on my birthday, but I am backdating this entry to 11:59 on January 10th so I can do so.
Alright! Facebook "Happy B-Day" wall messages: 25 (and 2 regular facebook messages). As hokey as Facebook is, I will say I approve of it in this instance. It was really cool to look and see who had written me birthday messages. I'm normally fairly low-key about my birthday... but I enjoyed the brief spike in campus popularity.
Crappy part... I missed the manager meeting this afternoon, and they actually scheduled me to work the late shift. I was pretty surprised... and so I ended up having to cancel some birthday plans with the family. VERY disapointed I was... Sara felt so bad that she actually went and got me a cake.
So, at 20 years of age, I can't really do anything different. A couple of freshmen were at work... I taunted them about being teenagers while I was not one. But the very fact that I did that means I'm far less mature than them. Oh well.
I've had at least one meeting in all of my classes as of today. I'll go ahead and give the breakdown now:
Spanish. What can one say about that. No me gusta la clase de espanol. The professor is wonderful. The class is huge, which is not really good for a class like that. I just can't get excited about that class... which is a shame, because the potential for interest is there.
My other class on MWF is US history from 1865. Even though I got a 5 on the AP US History class, I only get credit for one half of the US series. I read the first chapter, and if the rest of the class follows suit, I will have already done most of this stuff. Again, the professor is one of my favorites. Should be bearable.
On TTH, I have two classes. The first is history research methods. I know more people in here than anywhere else. The jury is still out on this one... I like the idea of being in there with a bunch of history majors but I've not seen enough to be sold quite yet.
Also, I have my education class on TTH. Whoa boy. First off, I am the only member of that class who happens to possess a Y chromosome. So I am immediately outnumbered, and I have nobody to talk about hot chicks with. I was taken off guard by how sugar coated and smile time our first meeting was. Maybe this is how it'll be, maybe not. I hope the material is interesting. And I hope not everyone in there is "I love kids, I love life, teaching is great, yay life!". I mean, I wouldn't be in there if I wasn't interested in teaching, and I am... but I need a dose of sarcasm sometimes.
Normally I'd stop, but I'm going to go for a few minutes more. I've had trouble sleeping recently... and so if I let myself get way tired, maybe it'll make for a better sleep. I guess I just have a lot on my mind. Being in the context of campus, with classes and people and work and all this... makes me think too much for my own good. Anyway, no mood-killing rants... I'm trying to cut down on those.
I think that's all.
