This week has been my first week of the Spring semester for school. I decided to only take 3 classes this semester, and I'm already beginning to regret not signing up for another one. Yeah, I know that technically I still could, but then I'd be entering a class late and I just don't want to do that. At least I know for next semester if I have the option of these teachers.
Though I didn't want to, I'm taking a day class this semester. With working full time, I didn't want to have to take off work time to go to class.. luckily my boss (my Dad) was willing to let me off work to go. Last semester I took Accounting I from a professor who I did well with. After getting a 96% A in his class, I decided it would be best to take Accounting II with him as well. Sadly, the only time that he was teaching the course was Monday and Wednesday from 1-2:15. So this semester, that is when I have him.
The first day of class I was quickly reminded why I shy away from taking classes... I like the smaller class sizes and the older range of students. I felt like I walked right back into my high school class room and you didn't have any personal space. Literally, all but one seat was taken in the classroom. This will be the last day class I take! However, I feel good about the class, seeing as how I know what this teacher expects from us and the types of quizzes, tests, and assignments he produces. So here's to hoping I get through this semester without waiting to slap someone!
Literally up until a couple hours before my Monday night class(Organizational Behavior), I wasn't sure I was going to have it. On the class schedule, it said I was enrolled but there were only 4 students and there was no class number assigned. Luckily, everything got figured out and I headed off for class. When I arrived, half the class was already there... so we were waiting on one more person to show up. After the teacher and the other student showed up, the teacher started to get everything ready for class. Next thing I know, he's cursing the overhead projector for not working correctly... this is when I knew the class was going to be alright. Later on in the class, he was taking about stress and stress in the work place. He then proceeded to say that due to stress, that's why Bourbon and Cigars were invented.
Last night was my last new class of the semester. A couple days before the class started the teacher emailed all 6 of us students and told us that instead of meeting at the normal class time (7:15), we would meet at 8:30. Me, being and old lady and all, hated the idea of going to class that late. We got there and literally talked for 15 minutes and we were out of there. Evidently TCC scheduled my teacher for two different classes at the same time... at two different campuses! My teacher, being the smart guy he is, decided he can do both... just make them every other week. So now I only have my Thursday class every other week. Work load is still super easy, so it should be a breeze.
Overall, I'm really excited about school this semester! Can't wait to keep getting these classes out of the way and see it all pay off for me in the end! Is anyone else is school this semester? How are your classes going?
