Freshman

One thing i totally forgot about when it comes to starting classes in the fall. Freshman are so damn annoying. They are like ants. Not good ants either, in case there is such a good thing as good ants.

Now i remember why everyone hated freshman when i started ninth grade back in texas. Back then they had a thing called "Freshman Friday", where the upper classmen would secretly beat up the freshman.

Today, when i woke up, i went to the restroom. (This was before the guy with explosive diarrhea. If i had known then that i'd later run into him, i'd have just stayed in bed.) There must have been fifteen guys in their trying to brush their teeth! It was like 7:50. Damnit! I bet they were all freshman too, and don't realize that in college you really don't have to wake up all that early. But no, here they were invading my restroom. (Roger would have loved it though, all those guys crowding around in a restroom. Him, or my brother.)

Other than that though, and listening to people ask stupid questions during the orientations of our classes, everything went pretty much okay.

In class, most of the people were more concerned with the professor's grading style and grading policies, as well as the professors extra credit options, then about the subject itself. Argh. It felt like i was in high school again, when people were only concerned about grades and not about actually doing a little something called learning.

I guess i shouldn't ask for much.

My upper level classes are great though. Theories of Social Psych is gonna kick ass. It has reading material, but at the same time much of it is discussion. Just like infant development. We do more discussion about new research and developmental theories, i.e. Piaget, Kohlberg, etc, then about learning "terms" and definitions.

Grand stuff.
