I started my summer class yesterday. Let’s just say it’ll be a
battle to pass and stay sane this summer……
First off, I had to get up at 6:00 am! I mean, it’s hard
enough getting up at 8:00 am on a normal day. And keep in mind; I have to drive
about 45 minutes just to get anywhere where I live. It’s awful. Either I need
to get more money to buy better coffee, learn to drink it black and cheap, or
give up caffeine. There’s not enough in the world that can keep me alive this
early.
Luckily my best friend from high school is taking the class
with me. There are some, um, interesting people in this class that’s for sure. I met two other students I like so far: Daniel and Molly. The professor decided
to “pretend” to be a student before class started, and asked us very random
questions about the class. It took a little while to put two and two together,
but it was WAY early for me. Besides, Aquinas has a lot of older students in
their Continuing Education program and I’m use to having older students in class
anyway. The sad part is, most of yesterday morning is already a blur, you can tell
I’m not a morning person…….
I don’t know what to think of the class so far. Part of me
thinks it’ll be easier than it sounds, but the labs are mostly math and
reading, which putting both together are my downfall. It almost seems like
since I haven’t had a class this easy in a long time that it’ll be hard to
adjust to; I might be over-analyzing it. Another reason is because we mostly talk about the
environment and my professor has some strong viewpoints that I don’t seem to
agree with, especially after visiting Africa recently. I’m trying to hold my tongue, but part of me just wants to get
through this class to the best of my ability. Besides, it’s only community
college; it’s not even worth it.
