First Day of College!!!

I am going to attempt a brief update because I had the fancy to reorganize my desk and I am in the middle of that project...in other words there is junk all over my bed and floor right now!

So, today was my first day of classes at the U. Yep. And also my last day, of those classes. In between some of my classes I went in and talked with an undergraduate advisor, and she was so incredibly helpful! You see after my composition: literature class I was pretty frusterated and confused. The entire class looked like an elematary Rhetoric class, the objective was learning to write a persuasive paper....a review in which he assumed we knew nothing of. I knew I could just take the class and get, not an 'easy A' (there were a ton of papers to write!), but an A. Or I could choose to not be irritated the entire quarter and instead go learn something new. I know at least one of you is going to call me a snot for saying that, but it was true and after one class I was wondering if I should really be spending my time in that class. And Drama? Yeah. When I told her a little bit and that I wanted to be an English major she told me those weren't classes I needed to be taking, or really even should be. I told her what I had heard about Engl. 197, and 202 and she told me that indeed they are the prerequisites for declaring your major in English, and also that the 197 would fulfil the same requirement as my Engl. 111 class- so I didn't need to be in that! We got online and lo and behold---- Engl. 197 and 202 were open! YIPEE!!! (I had been checking almost daily this past week.) Someone had dropped them. So, we dropped my fig and my math class (it was at the same time as my new english class...plus she told me I really didn't need to be in a business math class). So!!! I now have a new schedule...a better schedule....with better classes...and I am sooo excited! The advisor that worked with me was sooo sweet and helpful, and she spent a lot of time with me, explaining and looking things up, even making phone calls. I loved that she took TIME and didn't seem rushed at all, even though there were lots of others. She was so helpful, and at the end she gave me her card and told me to come back if I like next quarter about registering..I am definitely going to go back to her.

My first day was good. The bus was relatively easy, okay REALLY easy, and the people on it were for the most part all relatively normal. Most were students or heading to UVillage.

I also picked up this one other class, we'll see about it. Its about Environmental Studies, lol. Oh well, I decided it would be fun to do something new and it fills requirements I need, and fits well into my schedule. ;)

So....thats about it. Oh..thats wonderful, when I started this I had a terrible headache, but its almost gone!

Love you all, books and books full. (hehe.)
