COLLEGE! WOO!
Hmm... This entry will probably contain random things that I have observed over the whole one month of my college tenure.
1) NO DRAMA!!!! =) YAY!!! It's such a beautiful thing. Although at times it was quite entertaining in high school to be a spectator. But I don't have to hear someone cry about something as stupid as losing lip gloss on a daily basis anymore (come to think of it, that may have been one of the better reasons).
2) The teacher's aren't as bad as everyone says that they'll be. For one, they're actually quite nice about teaching. From what I had heard I thought they were going to be too stuck up to teach a bunch of ignorant dopes about the material that they had spent their entire life around. I love all of my instructors, and one of them has a HILARIOUS sense of humor (he runs on caffeine everyday, too). But the GSI's can kind of be a pain...
3) FREEDOM! It's nice not having to go to the same class every day... it makes it a lot easier to get up in the morning. Plus you don't have to do alot of homework, which in turn will probably bite me in the ass but I can live in ignorant bliss until that happens.
4) Downloading music is a lot more dangerous at college... I downloaded a bunch of songs the first week or two, but now I don't because I've heard of 3 or 4 people getting caught with just ONE SONG and getting charged like $200,000. Needless to say I'm kind of paranoid about it now.
5) The vernacular is a little different than it is in Gladstone... I no longer feel awkward if I actually use my vocabulary or talk about some cool nerdy science thing, which usually made me feel like a wierdo in HS.
6) True nerds do still exist! I thought that the dungeon's and dragon's type nerd was extinct... boy was I wrong. My poor engineering professor has to hear about 'laying seige to a castle' on a daily basis.
That wraps up part 1 of possibly many random, useless blogs about college.
