College
Night 2 of college.
Had a brief 45 minute nap from around 8pm - 08:45pm.
Woke up and Skyped until 12:10am. Got into bed at 12:25.
Fell asleep and woke up around 1:30ish am.
Still awake an hour later.
Sooo, my first day at college.
My good friend, Brittany, stayed the night. In the morning her aunt came to pick her up and she was kind enough to drop me off at the bus stop. The bus ride was nice.
Hike my way up the hill, up the stairs, and zero in on a misfit group, a gay guy with terrible acne and two girls. I ask for help in finding my class, I mention I'm a first time student after being out of highschool for 4 years and the gay guy goes "Oh my gaaaaaawd! Screw that" or something. I ignore it, they gave me directions after all and then scooted away. Assholes.
Hike up a bunch of stairs, find my room and a pretty little Hispanic girl comes along and thankfully she was friendly, so we chatted. Then this older lady in her 50s comes along. There's always someone like her, it seems. Doesn't care about their appearance, no makeup, messy hair, not very pretty even if she wore makeup, dressed in jeans and a shirt and those fucking sandals that make me cringe. You know, the kind that look like they're strapped to your feet so much as if your foot would fall off if you didn't have all those stupid buckles and whatnot? Like this http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFiles/sandals_339.jpg And of course unpainted and not manicured toenails. Appearance is one thing, but then you add the socially awkward, borderline obnoxiously loud, uses cuss words at inappropriate times when everyone is dead silent kind of attitude....you HAVE to know what I'm talking about. At least in SoCal, there's always someone like that. Those people annoy me. So she was there and butted into our conversation.
After a bit the teacher arrives and lets us in. He's Hispanic, but no accent. Kind of a big guy with very neat salt and pepper hair. I would say he's in his 40s, but he has a lot of energy. From what I gathered he is a computer and gaming nerd and divorced and successful.
The Dreamweaver class is small-ish, which is how I like it.
We basically had orientation, that's it, and we introduced ourselves. There were several adults associated with church in some way taking the class to help the church.
35 minute break between two classes. I have the same teacher in the same room for Adobe Photoshop.
Now that class was particularly full. Many college boys wearing mandals were there. Ugh, they ALL had mandals!!!!! EWWW!!!
It was the same exact orientation. The classes are like 2 hours long, so the second one he cut us loose an hour early, which was when the fun happened.
Not.
If I stick to my school schedule, my last class ends at 2:50. The next bus going home doesn't get there until 3:30. That's a 40 minute wait. I got out a whole HOUR earlier than 2:50 with no earlier bus schedule times!
I spend $1.50 on the payphone trying to catch my mom or my sister or my brother and NO ONE answers.
I walk down the steps and figure "Fuck it, I'm just going to go around like a beggar and ask to use someone's phone", I of course spot a friendly enough looking couple, someone with their phone already out so they can't lie and say "I don't have one".
The girl was extremely nice and let me use the phone. She said she doesn't pay the bill, so I could use it as much as I needed. My brother finally answered and said my mom wasn't due home for an hour and a half. I figure "Oh fuck, now I have to wait a whole hour and a half for my bus to get here in this fucking heat", but thankfully the girl's boyfriend said they were headed to my town and would give me a ride. This is not the first time I've ridden with strangers. I DID feel more comfortable after talking with them for a half hour. They were waiting for his twin brother to get out of class. We didn't even leave until a bit after 3.
They were extremely nice, I was so thankful and really blessed that they offered me a ride.
I got home and almost minutes after I sit down, my mom comes home:\ She immediately sends me out to WalMart to pick up things for her job and to buy a prepaid cellphone.
I spent a good couple hours, I would say, there. A very handsome boy at the connection center talked to me for a while and helped me pick out a new phone, then since I wasn't dressed like white trash for once, I headed to the fitting room to talk to my old coworkers and that took up a while, too. Then I finished my shopping and came home.
I swear, before I knew it it was 7pm, then 9pm. Mon Dieu! My time just fucking flew.
I AM tired, but I can't sleep. I get up at 7am, and if I go to bed in 10 minutes, I'll get 4 hours of sleep. This is NOT good.
School is fun though! Wish me luck on the bus ride home tomorrow!
