first day of school

today was the first day of school, although i only had one class.
and it was at 8am.
the professor walks in and the first thing he say, the first thing all teachers say at 8am classes, was why are we taking 8 am classes. what ever would possess us to do that. well, i can only speak for myself, but i like to get things done. on thursdays when it's the only class i have, it's nice to get it out of the way. and boy, did we get it out of the way. we were done in 30 minutes. i'm calling that we will get out 20-30 minutes early everyday. it's geography after all. we all took geography in high school. nothing has changed. no new continents or oceans have been discovered since then. there is no modern day christopher columbus.

bad news bears: it's all freshman. i'm talking obvious freshmen - lanyard wearing, map carrying, orientation shirt freshmen. i was never like that. what would possess a freshman to so obviously stick out like that?

the professor is neat though. i think i'll really like him. he reminds me of a history teacher i had in high school. one of those teachers who cracks jokes a lot. you'd think he would be lame, teaching college geography and all, but he's actually pretty amusing.

after covering the syllabus, we took a "quiz." it involved labeling a world atlas with the continents and oceans. that was my first sign that this class would be a bit of a joke. i learned the 7 continents in 2nd grade or so. i expect our quiz on tuesday will include writing the alphabet. maybe he'll challenge us and make us write both capital and lowercase letters. all said and done, i am thankful for an easy class. this is the perfect semester to raise my GPA.

on the subject of jobs, i have emailed a couple people about tutoring opportunities. both at kumon tutoring center. one position includes tutoring, one include grading. either would suffice. if i can't find a job working with students in some way, i will volunteer. i already have a pretty sufficient resume, but it's all from my high school year's. it's time to update it.

i hope all of my four readers appreciate my new blog template. i worked hard on it. on the right sidebar, you will find a poll. take it as many times as you want. i won't judge you, nor will i even know if you take it multiple times.

that's all for today. i will be blogging everyday next week for sure. if it goes over well, i'll begin blogging mon.-wed. every week. i need more readers.
