Well, I’ve had all of my classes at least once and things seem like they’re gonna be all good. I’ve spent $200 on books so far, $50 for a parking pass, and I still have about $150 to spend on more books
So I was hoping I could get by this term without working, but it looks like there is no chance of that. My dad will probably pick up my last check from Cast-Fab tomorrow, which will promptly be spent on bills. :stress:
Any remainder will go towards the rest of the books I need, which sucks some big ones.
The scholarship I got from the AFS turned out to be $600, written directly to me. I think I’m going to try and invest that somehow… not necessarily stocks, but I think since most student loans don’t accumulate interest until you are out of school, it would be worth my time to see if I can pull off another $50 out of that. Rather than spending it right away on tuition.
As far as my classes go, they seem like they will be pretty easy. I have Adobe After Effects with Jason, so that class shouldn’t be hard.
I have Director with Dave and although I don’t really have a problem with his classes his projects always end up being very limiting and a pain.. but learning the program itself doesn’t seem like it will be too hard. I was supposed to have Director today for the second time, but David was sick, so I won’t have it again until next Monday, which kind of sucks because that means we’ll have a lot more work to do next week.
I had my first Accounting class yesterday and the Instructor was an hour late. Apparently she got the times of her classes mixed up… To be honest, sitting there staring at the walls waiting for her was more exciting than that class. That class is like going to the bank and reading all the literature that have sitting around. It sucks. It should be easy, but the lady seems like she’s trying to worry us about the comprehensive final. You can’t pass the class if you don’t pass this. Who knows though.
My Public Speaking class and my Technical Writing class are easy as pie. PS is like high school speech all over again, but without a rotting old skeleton woman for a teacher. Technical Writing is basically how to write memos and emails. Whoopdie do. Breeze classes.
My American History class seems simple enough. All stuff I’ve heard in high school. So far, in two days we’ve covered prehistoric times until the Europeans came to America. Moving right along. The very major downfall to the class is the instructor. I’m not trying to knock him, but he’s pretty much straight out of Africa. Not saying that in a racist way, but he has a thick African accent, is very stern, and very uptight about things. The guy is huge, too. He scares me, so I just take notes and hope everything goes okay. He seems like a great teacher, but he hasn’t given us a syllabus, hasn’t told us anything about testing, brings only hand-written notes to class to teach from and will apparently only do things his way. Very strict, but I don’t think I’ll have a problem in there.
I haven’t seen kitty at all this term
That kinda sucks. Seeing more of her would defiately be a good thing.
I have to do my taxes tonight. Yeah, I’m lazy. No surprise there. Then I have some homework. I’m thinking about renting a movie, too. I should probably get this stuff done, so I’m outta here.
