Welcome to FSU!
Beginning college is a scary experience for all involved; the worrisome parents, the unorganized teachers, and most of all, the petrified freshman. It’s a huge change of pace, some seem ready and others don’t and I can’t always figure out where I fit in with that.
ReplyDeleteLiving away from home provides a new adventure every day. I never really understood all the responsibilities of taking care of a ‘house’! A snack malfunction made me realize we needed cleaning supplies, and a bathroom shared with three other college guys made me realize we needed air freshener. A lesson is learned every day. However, I do enjoy staying up until I’m tired instead of pretending to be asleep to please my parents.
As for class I was shocked the first day entering my American History class of almost 180 students. It’s so different from my high school classes; capped at 25. Then I realized my American history class was nothing when I entered my economics class of 500! I looked at the rest of my schedule and expected more of the same; overstuffed classes with no personality, the majority of students scared to talk to one another. The next class I head to was archaeology—sounds interesting, right? Wrong. It’s pretty boring in the most predictable way. Dull lectures every Tuesday and Thursday with intermittent breaks brought about by a dry sense of humor from an interestingly small man that enjoys sitting in the front row of class.
I’m still not quite sure what to expect out of this English class, but I guess it can’t be anything too bad considering it’s just a class of 20 or so, and our professor responds to ‘hey you!’
i think i just posted this in the wrong place...
