college part II

Wow, I'm an official college kid! It's still completely surreal to me. I love it though!

Classes are in the beginnings of their third week. I love most of them so far. My schedule is pretty spread out, but I don't mind. It gives me the time to take my assignments one class at a time.

Mondays are pretty simple: my First Year Seminar on Social and Political Worlds doesn't start til 1:50pm. Pretty fantastic, eh? Then...I don't have class again until 7pm. I know, it's late for a class to be starting. But, on the plus side, we only meet once a week, and the class is entertaining mostly because of the professor. The biggest (and probably only) downside is that I miss both Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. :[

Tuesdays are still my least favorite day of the week. I don't think that will ever change. My day starts off at 9:35am with Geological Disasters. You'd think it'd be interesting, right? Well, it isn't. At least not right now. Unless discussing tectonic plates and shifts are entertaining. Let's go with a no. But once we get into earthquakes, which we're hopefully starting tomorrow, it will be a lot better. I hope. I have a break from 10:50 to 12:45; I usually grab lunch and exchange books before heading back to north campus. 12:45 is the time of my own doom: Communication 101. My biggest and most boring class. Three hundred and twenty five people, and a professor that couldn't be more dry. If it weren't essential to my major, I would've dropped it. Class is out at 2pm, and I don't have class until my Geology Lab at 6:15pm.

Wednesdays repeat with my First Year Seminar on Social and Political Worlds. I have an hour break to revive myself with some Starbucks before heading to my next class: Journalism 200. Great class. Very easy. The professor is definitely an interesting one, but I don't mind. He's a real "get to the point, do it and git er done" type of teacher. Class is supposed to get out at 6:40pm. The latest we've gotten out is 5:15. It's fantastic! :]

Thursdays are the same as Tuesdays, minus the Geology Lab. I'm done for the week by 2pm. Love love love that!

So there's a bit of an update on classes. My roommmate and I get along well, and are quickly catching on to the concept of college. I love Flagstaff with all of my heart. It's changed some of my perceptions, though. "Hot outside" is now 84 degree weather, instead of the typical 115 degrees we'd experience daily in Phoenix. I get excited when I can go out in 60 degree weather in jeans and a tank and not freeze, considering 60 degrees is practically winter at home! hahah

As always, I'm living a fabulous life! :]
