School Talk

Week One of community college (semester two): COMPLETE.

Wow. What a week, eh? It's been pretty crazy, but kind of enjoyable. All my classes are pretty good, but I'm so dead set on changing my major after this for sure. I feel like I'm wasting my time in that class, and my teacher kind of drives me insane. I find it funny that it doesn't bother me when I ramble, but when my teacher begins rambling on and on about one subject and starts getting farther and farther off topic...it drives me up the wall. I want to literally just flat out tell him to shut up, or just get on with the lesson! (But alas, that would be rude...and I don't want to be rude...so I just yell at him in my head.)

The Drawing 1 class that I signed up for with one of my friends is going dashingly! I thought the professor would be a total stick in the mud, but it turns out he's pretty cool. It's fun but challenging all at the same time with the assignments he gives us. He's always willing to give you the best advice he can, and you can tell that he's a pretty genuine guy when it comes to making sure everyone is having fun and doing their thing. (He even gave us some really awesome info on where we can get our art supplies for cheap! And how many teachers do you know of that would do that?!..not many). So he's pretty awesome, and the whole over all class isn't so bad other than a really loud person that can talk and the whole room will be listening silently. They're like the "gossip daily" dishing out all the dirt on anyone and everyone who's got some kind of reputation for something. Smh. Some things could be told privately in the hall, but undoubtedly they don't have filters so it just kind of goes shooting off ever which way.

Then my third class is Music Appreciation. Our teacher is kind of nutty (but in a good way) she gets us up off our butts and actually participating in making rhythm and music. I love teachers who are like this truthfully, it makes the learning process a lot easier then being beat over the head with a book and having to memorize stuff word for word and then forgetting it later. The only thing that I'm kind of worried about is the major projects that are going to be due that are called "Concert Reports" and we have to go to actual concerts (not rock concerts or anything like that...but like the classical kind) and then write a report on it. The over all class is great though, we're all still in the shy awkward stage, but I think we're getting there to becoming a pretty great class. 

So, I guess over all everything is pretty great. The schedule is kind of wacky because I have one class one day, and then two super long classes another. It sucks because then the night of the really long class I know I have a super early class but yet I can never fall asleep! But I guess that's just how it goes. Well, I hope everyone has had a super awesome week and weekend, and that tomorrow going back to school isn't a total pain. JUST 15 MORE WEEKS UNTIL SUMMER BREAK. Keep that in mind :)

That's all for now folks! Catch ya on the flip side. 

Second First Day

Tonight is the night before my "second first day" of college.  With this being still my first year, I feel like I should already be done with all of this, have a degree in something, and be on my merry way at finding a good paying job...but sadly it doesn't go nearly that fast.

I'm thinking about changing my major from Photography to being  a Dietitian, but it seems that the college I'm at right now doesn't offer that and so I'll have to transfer to some other place and try to work on getting my bachelors degree for like 4 years. I think I would like doing that, because cooking is something that I've always loved, and if I could make menu's and create different things to help people, and get payed pretty decent cash while doing what I love...why not? This photography thing just isn't working for me though, like the "brand new" shine factor has wore off of it sooooo much. I'm actually glad that I don't have to go into that class tomorrow, or well Tuesday actually, but I'm going to miss all the people.

That's why I was blogging a little bit tonight. I'm going to miss the people, and I'm going to miss my teachers and getting to see everyone together, because that's never going to happen ever again. I mean, there are some people yes that you can't stand in a classroom, but in most all my classes that I had this past semester in the Fall, there weren't any really annoying people that I wanted to punch in the face. I mean I really genuinely liked everyone, and I hate that it all has to be over, and that tomorrow I'm going to walk into a room of strangers and become an awkward wall flower again. Usually people sit in the same seats that they originally sit in on the first day, "because we're creatures of habit" (for so my math teacher said once). I guess I can agree with that, but how do you really know where the right seats are? I mean people can't always be judged on their appearances, I've already learned that one from English class back in the Summer.

One thing though, that I'll know for sure, is that if people really like you then they will help you. Or if they really don't like you, they won't say much to you at all unless you get in their way. But mainly, you have to hold your own ground, and respect others and treat them the way you want to be treated, because even the roughest looking characters can have the biggest hearts of gold. So, I guess after this little pep talk, not just to you but also to myself, I've come to realize that everything will be alright and that tomorrow no matter what happens, I can always have the good memories and I can always look forward to meeting new and interesting personalities.

So I wish everyone the best, and please wish me luck on the next 16 weeks! I have a feeling that I'll need it for math class :P

Catch you all on the flip side!
