Well, the computer situation is still messed up, but I’ve started school. Time to slog through another semester, I guess. The first day went well, albeit stressful. Finding classrooms, getting to know new teachers, etc.
I start off the day with a few hours of Calculus 2, very similar to last semester, where I had Calc 1 at the same time and in the same room and with the same teacher. Only about half of the class were those I knew from last semester, those that had taken the same class in the fall. 90 problems of Calc homework due by Sunday, yay. Then there’s English Composition — what fun. The teacher warned us of a writing assessment beforehand via email, but I completely missed the attached essay we were supposed to write about and ended up listening to the teacher read the essay aloud for all of those who derped like me. So I spent that period composing an ugly essay about an essay. And if you don’t know me, I don’t like the other side of Academia — the touchy-feely side, the English and Arts side. Give me back my Chemistry, please. Anyways, my last class is Economics, which has the most elaborate classroom of the three. A smart board, webcams and mics for live broadcasts, speakers for us to hear those who join the live broadcasts, it’s pretty decked out. And it’s all recorded, so if I ever want to watch a lecture again, I can. Overwhelming at first, but I’ll get used to it.
So that’s my spring 2013 semester in a nutshell. Back to the grind of homework and lectures.
