First Impressions

Second day of classes went swimmingly as well despite having an 8am- and for what- a genEd?!.. But luckily I am taking Mosaics II(Intellectual Heritage/English/Literature, etc whatever you choose to call it) with the same professor I had for Mosaics I. I got an A with him before so I couldn't resist taking him again.

Class let out early as most do in the first week so I headed over to Paley which is the campus library. All I needed to do was print something out and it sucked up so much of my time that it almost made me late to my next class- and I didn't even get to print it out! Word to the wise- the computer to printer ratio there is jacked so if you need to print anything out... go to the tech center or use the printer on the third floor!!! Unless of course you like standing in line and wasting your time.

After that whole fiasco I walked to Geography class, "World Urban Patterns". The professor started off the class by explaining that he thinks book publishers are totally scamming college students and textbooks are way too expensive therefore he doesn't want us to buy any for his class. Instead, he's going to put any articles or excerpts from books online for us to read. And most of them- he wrote. Usually when a professor has written a book relevant to the course, he or she requires every student to buy said book so they make a profit.. but not this guy- needless to say, I like him already.

I ended the "school day" with my Audio/ Visual News-gathering lecture. I think this is going to be my "Oh Shit!" class of the semester- I know I will probably learn a lot and learn to love it (after it's over) but it's going to be a lot of hard work.
That's okay, I'm up for the challenge!!
