my experience was ok, only one I really hate so far.
First was psychology, average class, while I was waiting some persistent lady was dead set on talking, she was about 35-40 since we were 30 minutes early, eventually that got me in a talking phase which another girl who was 25 came in and joined and it lasted till the room started to fill up 5 minutes before class, conversation was school related as always but yea, if people really put up an effort they can get me running my mouth like a normal person, it just rarely ever happens.
Second class, ugg, hate the teacher already, its interpersonal communication, when I signed up the adviser was going to put me into speech class but when I shrugged at the sound of the idea she got the message I don't like talking and put me in interpersonal communication, she said it was one on one mostly, I found out its lots of group work, class participation, as in talking part in class discussion is a large chunk of the grade so I will loose points for being quiet, and there is some projects I don't like, I am really dreading the mock interview we are doing for the "JCTC Crew", the job help division of the school. Did I mention she souned like a total ***** the whole time, like some evil kindergarder teacher you would only find in movies that I was almost convinced didn't really exists till now.
second day
math, just went over the syllabus, teacher loves to run her mouth and took the whole period to do it.
GE101, this was interesting, its intro to college, a newly mandatory prep class or something, first thing she did was introduce the purpose of the class and then she passed around a purple ball randomly to everyone in the class and asked for a name and interesting fact about oneself, she said if you wanted you could just say "no thank you", and I was the only one to say it, most people just said their name and job they had and the others would tell something tragic, like this one girl said she has been on her own since 15 and has 2 kids. After that we had to get in groups and come up with a definition for success, the we wrote them on papers attached to the walls and each person had to stand by the one they liked the most, they were pretty mushy things like "being able to accomplish you goals no matter what they are and doing what makes you happy", not thats its not true but still. So to sum up that class lets just say if an adviser told me I had to go there, and just gave me a room number and time, no name or reason, meaning I would have no clue what the class was about, I would have though someone must have thought they saw me crying in a dark corner threating to kill myself and reported it, because at the end it felt more like a depression therapy session rather than a class, at least it will be easy though.
intos are done and the real work begins tomorrow, now I can really see if all will go well.
