Thought I would throw up a small update. The new photography class is pretty sweet. Been doing different things each Saturday so far. It is my most looked forward to class. Needs to be on more days. Good new crew we have this time.
That is all for now.
It’s that time of the year. School has returned for a sixth semester. This time it’s mostly book related crap that I’ll forget in probably three weeks. Time a little situation sit down and brief on this semester’s classes.
History – American History to 1877
First off, what is so important about 1877? I guess I’ll find out. Anyway, the class is seated in alphabetical order which is stupid because this is college, not elementary school. The professor has an annoying voice that drones during lectures. Today was the second day of class and we watched some boring late 80′s/early 90′s video about Columbus finding this wonderful land and how he fucked over the Native Americans. After that was notes that I slept through.
Math – Intermediate Algebra
I finally decided to give this class another try after god knows how long. The teacher is decent looking although she told us she can be a bitch. The book situation pisses me off and I had to pay more than $100 for a stupid code to use online to be able to do my homework. Stupid. It’s math, what do you expect it to be?
Psychology – Intro to Psychology
The professor is German which means she has the accent that all stereotypical therapists have. The one day I have had this class so far had me nodding off towards the end (I blame the lame Power Point presentation). This is the only class out of the others that has at least one person I know (not including photography because that is obvious that I know people). Seems like an interesting class though.
Photography – Creative Photography
I start this tomorrow and am excited. Shame it is only one day a week but it will give me time to do my projects during my hectic school/work schedule. WHOO!
That’s about it for now. I will TRY and actually get around to updating this more. Hopefully.
On Monday I headed down to the college to gather the books for the upcoming semester. Turns out I need six books for the four classes I am taking. History requires two, same with math. Math on the other hand has the most retarded second purchase ever. It’s a CD with random papers attached and costs over $100. I highly doubt I will EVER use it and am pissed. I am hoping that when I attended the first math class the professor will tell us that it isn’t exactly required in which case I will return the piece of shit. Overall I spent $550 on books I will rarely use. Fucking school, they should pay me just for going.
So now I am poor until my paycheck next Thursday night. I am thankful that my Kodak Zi8 is still on back-order, otherwise I would be fucked.
I can’t seem to escape the usual grind of daily life. Work is keeping me on a crazy schedule as usual. I haven’t been sleeping well and it shows. The boss has been not too happy with me, especially after this last weekend. Hopefully I can pull myself together in this next week and a half before school returns. We’ll see how that goes.
