College Re-cap

This week was a short week for school, all projects had to be turned in yesterday. I'm pretty sure I got an A in both classes, then again, they were both pretty easy. Though, the last test in one class a swear, at least half the questions were never covered in the material. 

Let's tally up what I did then:

12 discussion initiated

36 responses to someone else discussion 

11 short essays written, (only 300-500 words)

2 long essays written (1600-2000 word)

3 books and 10 articles read for research for above essays

2 entire text books read

50 pages of notes

And as a bonus:

1 new essay writing format learned. (APA? Shoot, until now I've been using MLA.)

It was a fantastic adventure which all things considered felt a lot like doing homework. I thought I was supposed to physically feel bettering myself, while instead all I am is more tired. Is that what bettering yourself feels like? I did a lot of work, that maybe kind of had a purpose but that I can't help but feel could had been better spent. Is that what college feels like? 

Ah, oh well. So I suppose somewhere between reading and writing essays and posting on discussion boards I learned the knowledge that is necessary to the skills I will need on the job force, such as how to finish everything I need to do when the days are getting shorter and the to-do pile is getting bigger. Also how to not judge everyone around me despite the fact that they are all idiots, (whoops!) and how to say the same exact thing but in a way that makes it sound better than it actually is. I suppose I learned a few things in the subjects being taught, Customer Service and um something just called General Studies which was a class teaching you how to go to college. 

My next two classes start next Wednesday, (weird, I know) and until then I am catching up on reading and sleeping and recreational writing. And guess what, I get actually text books this time!!!!

 Yes I am the type of person where this is exciting. You see the thing is the last two classes the text books were online. With this college the text books are included in the intuition and you simply get them in whatever form the college arbitrarily decides. On the downside, e-text books suck but on the upside I get a voucher for real text books and don't have to spend extra money on them. 

So am I ready for round 2 of the crazy and tiring world of college? Probably not! But I'm going to enter it anyway. Wish me luck, and may I have success in stuffing knowledge into my head.
