My College Years

9/26/16

   So today was my first day of college, and it was pretty uneventful. I didn't really talk to anyone, mostly because I wasn't forced to, so no new potential friends. There is this guy, however, in my Writing class that I would like to befriend. But I'm really shy, and I can't just go up to people and start talking to them, so unless we're paired up in a group, it might not happen.

   My first class of the day was College Algebra (but the textbook says Pre-Calculus), and it started at 8:30 am, so I had no trouble finding a parking spot. This class is 2 hours and 30 minutes long (OMG). I was absolutely bored today, it was all review for me. And I know that it's easing us into the course, but I'm afraid that everything we go over in class is stuff that I learned back in my Junior year of high school. However, I'm afraid that there'll be stuff in the class that I haven't learned yet, and if I drop the class and move up one level I'll be lost. So fingers crossed it gets a little more challenging.

   There's one guy in my class that's already started to drive me nuts. He's probably in his early 50's, and I couldn't pin point his accent - the first two places I could think of was either New Zealand or England. It could be somewhere in England, I've heard that there are different dialects in different cities. I can't explain why he was annoying me, but he just was.

   My other class today was my Writing class, which started at 11 am. I can tell that I'm going to love my professor, because she reminds me of one of my favorite teachers from high school. There are two girls in the class that went to the same high school as me, and I don't like either of them. One of them thinks she's all that and the other one is two-faced. There's another guy in there that I've never met, but he seems like the kind of person who's smart, knows he's smart, and acts like he's smarter than everyone in the room. I hope I'm wrong, I hate to make assumptions about people on the first day, you know?

   Tomorrow I only have one class and it was a class I was forced to take, and it's at 1:30 pm, so finding a parking spot is going to be hell. One of my friends had the class today so she told me a bit about it, and I know that I have to do some type of socializing with others. So yay. And last Thursday my Introduction to Engineering class was canceled! They didn't even tell me why it was canceled, it just was. It was the only class I was excited for!

   Yesterday I got my tattoo on my right shoulder, and it's only a little sore. I just have to remember not to carry my bag on my right side! It's my first color tattoo and my second tattoo total. It's got violet, a bit of yellow, and a bit of green, and some white ink for detail. I might post a picture once it's healed, it's still pretty red.

   So that's all I can think of right now; these entries will hopefully have more substance as I get further into my classes.
