The Devil you Know

..Otherwise, known as classes.

First week of classes were fairly uneventful. My first class of my college career was statistics. What a wonderful beginning, huh? I think it's just karma.
Someone, somewhere, hates me. 8 AM math class is just cruel. I don't have friends in that class and the teacher is addicted to powerpoints. If the information starts getting difficult, I'm sunk. However, I also know a dozen people in a stats class with the same schedule, so I'll always be able to get help?

My equine science class is amazing. It's all the history of the horse & evolution so far, the teacher is also my adviser and she's really nice. It's just a fascinating topic!
After that, is Science. I really freaked out the first day ("The only thing that surpasses people's fear of science is their fear of math" - so true!) because I didn't know anyone. It's co-taught by a married couple, and the schedule seems like it should be interesting. Right now, we're in the greek philosophers and what they contributed to it. It isn't a science class as I thought it'd be - it's not 'earth science' or 'chemistry'... it's more how science evolved through the ages.
Really interesting
And now, I know someone in there! Damian (previously mentioned -Alissa [neighbor]'s boyriend) is in there with me. English major as he is, we have fun debating books. It's nice that I do my homeowork with him, too.
Tuesday, I have an eight AM freshman orientation class (but she always lets us out early). Seriously. We're there for 30 minutes. WTF with that???
Then I have college writing II. That's the only class I ever really felt like a freshman, in. I walk in and there are all these sophomores and juniors. A bit intimidating, but the teacher is hilarious. He has that wry, sarcastic sense of humor that has most people on edge. They never know when he's actually joking or not.
I get it. Most people don't.
And then I have the barn (as with every day) and after that I have a Wellness class. It's all lectures which is boring beyond believe. It's like everything I learned in my high school health class.
Mon/wed/fri are all the same classes. Tues, I have four classes. Thurs, I don't have the freshman orientation or wellness, so I really like that day! :D

And those are my classes & initial reactions.
I'll post some stories from my first week of 'real' school tomorrow!

Love you all!
Miss you!
