first day
of classes. a and i went through my list of classes yesterday to figure out my shopping list for the week. i had 7-8 classes to check out and decide on. but in that list i forgot to include the economic development and education class i was meaning to attend. this morning, after first miraculously waking up at 6.45 am, i went back to sleep and got out of bed at 8. ready at 8.30, i decided to check the schedule again, to see when that class was. turned out it was at 9. shucks. i rushed out of the house, but i didn't even know where the building was. walked fast as i could to the main quad. by 9.30 i was in class (thankfully the class was two hours long).
the class was good. i might get to visit my economics concepts again, but it's 5 units and a bit of a stretch. still, the class is excellent - i hear, so i think i'll settle for the 5 units.
went to meyers second floor (for the very first time ever, i might add) to see p. went online in the cluster and felt like an undergrad again. i'm saving my back these days by not carrying the laptop to school. probably a good idea as well. at 12.10, p and i headed to nexus for lunch. met the whole jing-bang there - of s, a, b, n, and v. the food was great - brown rice burger. yum. there was some idle talk of the "school of education look", sleeping in classes, etc. overall a pleasant first lunch. may i add that it could have been better.
the day went further downhill in my understanding learning environments class at 1.15. could barely hear a thing, and my mind tended to wander along all possible realms. i wondered how i could sit there for four hours every week, and do pages of reading every week. that the class is a requirement leaves me no choice, unfortunately. today's class was on behaviorism, and all i'll remember from it is the marijuana influence. the sight of the reader is hugely intimidating.
i was pleased to head over to sweet hall after. it's a great place (though i'd never have imagined i'd say that, three years ago). you can smell the freedom in the air - the freedom to think, breathe, feel. i loved it the moment i stepped onto the second floor. since only a third of the people who attended today can make it to the class, i'm a tad worried. i do hope i make it. class today was too inspiring. i'd be miserable to not get in :(.
first day of classes, and i had succeeded in locking myself out. p and a came to my rescue. the evening was pleasant and unstressful. and i'll look forward to tomorrow dearly.
and oh - i have three-day weekends every weekend. yippee!
