Spring Semester
15 Feb
I started my second ever semester of college yesterday! My classes rock so hard: Nutrition, English, Speech, and Beginning Photography. They’re all pre-requisites for the nursing program, except photography.
Nutrition class starts at 7am, and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to survive such an early hour (see video blog, below). I wanted to commit suicide Monday morning (kidding!). I was considering dropping the class for a different teacher/time, but I rather like my teacher, and it leaves me time to take photography.
My speech class is going to be so fun, I know it. The teacher is incredibly blunt, but the class loved it. He looked at the class (mostly Asian kids) and said, “What happened to all the white people on campus?” but that’s okay because that’s the exact same thing I thought when I arrived. Seriously, I thought I walked into ESL by accident. (I’m going to burn in hell.)
My english teacher reminds me of Adrien Brody, sort of. He used to be a librarian. (!) He’s the sweetest person in the whole world and I think the class is going be a breeeeeeze. (I’ll be eating my words later, I bet.) He asked us to write a paragraph about why we’re majoring in our majors; I got carried away and wrote two pages, double-spaced. I’m such a nerd. cringe.
Today I managed to get added into beginning photography. I’ve wanted to take a black & white/darkroom class since junior year, and finally, finally, I got it. (I signed up for photo class in high school, but to my dismay, it was cut out of the program that year.)
I’m really excited.
photography class, that’s cool! What’s your camera?
I’m not sure what I’ll be using yet, she’s going over equipment on Thursday, I think. It’ll most likely be one of those metal-body all-manual old-school (read: awesome) SLRs, because the school loans them out to us. Rad.
Wow, u get ur own loaner oldskool camera! Sweet! The pics are gonna go on flickr sometime, right? :)
Hope you have tons of fun in your photography class! I also wanted to take photo but it was full :(
I’m taking Nutrition too right now, horrible instructor though, she just reads off powerpoints…
a tip for speech class: when you’re allowed, find direct links to yourself in your speech topics ;)
