Monday, August 23: First day back. I get to school at 9am (ugh) even though my class doesn't start until 12. Why? Because at commuter schools, parking can be CRAZY, especially on the first week. When I got there, about half of the parking lots were full. Anyone coming in around 11am had almost no chance to get a space. I read and explored and played with my iPod touch because I didn't have classes yet (and therefore, didn't have homework). I got to see a LOT of people that I knew, which was great. Noon came and my Piano II class started! Out of 7 people besides me, I knew one person from my Piano I class. My teacher.... I don't know what to think of her. I guess she's nice and helpful at times, but she's also strict and expects you to remember every single detail from Piano I. And she randomly calls on people, which is bad for me. But I'm going to give her a chance. Part of my frustrations come from me being the only one who sucks.
After class, I drove to Panera to see a friend for one last time before he moves to Indy. After that I worked, training the new girl in Circ (she's great).
Tuesday, August 24: Wake up early because my class is early. My Music class is at 9:30am and it's pretty good. Teacher's nice enough, discussion is strongly encouraged/required, which will be tough, but it doesn't seem like a hostile environment. A few people are nice, though I don't know anyone.
I then review my notes, see more people that I know and then go to Precalculus at 1pm. Classmates: Most looked at me like I was nuts when I tried to be friendly, though one person was nice. Didn't know anyone. There were several people who kind of came off as show-offs, which made me feel stupid. Subject: REALLY hard. Teacher: Good as usual.
I leave school and go to work.
Wednesday, August 25: Go to school early again, only this time I bring homework, work on the problems in math and went to my professor's office. I have a feeling that I'm going to do that a LOT this semester. Had free pizza for lunch!!! Piano was okay, I'm pretty sure my teacher thinks I'm stupid, but hopefully once I practice more, I can change her mind. Stay later to study, then go to work. Why did I agree to work 29 hours this week?!
Thursday, August 26: I think Tuesdays and Thursdays will be my favorite days. Music was good and Precalc was great, quite entertaining. Most of the people seem a little more friendly now (though some are still show-offs) and the subject was actually quite doable. So maybe I'm not a lunatic for signing up for this class after all!
Tonight was NO WORK and we had Culver's for dinner. Things are good. :)
So, this should be a pretty good semester, hopefully I can stay on top of things!
