Aug. 28th, 2009 12:08 pmSo I survived my first week o' college! It wasn't that bad, really. My classes are pretty spread out, so it gives me a lot of time to just get homework done as soon as I'm out of class, which is nice. One of my biggest problems with homework during high school was that if I got homework for my first class at 8:30 am, the first real time I would have to do it was at 4 pm, and by that time I had pushed it to the bad of my mind because of everything else that was going on that day. Getting homework at 11:45 am and getting to start on it at noon is so much nicer. It cuts back on my procrastination by a LOT.
So, the classes I'm taking are:
Geology 101
Western Civ 101
Spanish 101
Lit 102 and 150 (two classes from two professors, but it's an 'integrated course', meaning that they're one right after the other and they build on the lectures from each other. One is a writing course and the other is a film and lit course)
They're all pretty nice, and the profs are pretty cool.
I still don't really know anyone here yet, but that should get better as I get to know the people in my classes more. I finally got all my books (pushing $600, Christ). And the window in my room was fixed this morning.
Also, I finally got to meet Maelstrom in person! Mael is one of the few cool people on the old WoA forums I admined, and when I first mentioned thinking of going to UNM, he offered to answer any questions I had about the school, since he's been here for 3 years now. So it's nice having one person here that I've gotten to know before (albeit on the internet) who's willing to help me navigate the town and understands what it's like being an out of state student. (Mael's from Texas)
I need to find the laundry room in the dorm, and a gas station. And I need to go back to the grocery store. And supposedly there's a job fair going on on campus until 2, so I may go check that out.
