I hate my calculus class!
My teacher doesn't teach us anything! For the first forty-five minutes she rambles on about some problem that we DIDN'T even have on the homework. She makes up the problem as she goes, and it doesn't resemble any of the problems in the homework. Then for the rest of the class, she makes up another problem that doesn't resemble any problems that we have for homework. It is frustrating!
I just turned in an assignment and I had no idea what I was doing.
The book doesn't help either! For some reason, this one section is so confusing and it doesn't explain anything!
I'm scared, confused, and angry!

School Insight
So it has been three weeks since school started...
Let me just say that since school began, I have new insight into my life at school.
1. It is very easy to be sleep deprived. I have most of my classes just yawning and resting my head on my hand. Only once have I actually been very upbeat in class and I really don't know why. Plus, that was without coffee! I think I was just hyper that day, I don't know.
2. Breakfast is a luxury. People are always saying that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" Yes, I know, but do you know how hard it is for a college student to get breakfast in the morning when they two back-to-back classes in the morning. Hint: Hard I think one day I managed to get a banana, and halfway through calculus my stomach started speaking whale.
3. I am not fashionable, no matter how hard I try. On the first day of school, I picked a cute shirt and jeans. the next day, same thing. As the week progressed, it has just gotten worse. Today, I just wore some shorts with a t-shirt I had in my closet. There are those girls who look cute in whatever they wear, whether it be something totally cute or sweatpants and a t-shirt. I wish I was one of those girls, because I could get away with anything and I could do my hair in a messy bun and be good.
4. My biology teacher is mean. He is extremely strict, and then when he does crack a joke, it is kind of dark. Nothing wrong with dark humor, but his jokes are just mean. I thought I was going to like him, now I'm not so sure. Plus, he doesn't like Harry Potter. Just another reason for me not to like him.
5. I am extremely awkward. I mean, I already knew this, but my knowledge of this only becomes more confirmed as time goes on. So I was in lab and we were testing this solid for sulfur. If the solid turned red, then there was sulfur. Well, the solid turned red, but the red was this beautiful deep red. So as I was cleaning up, this girl came up next to me and was cleaning up as well and said, "This is cool, isn't it? It looks like blood." Then me, being the weirdo that I am said, "Yes, its beautiful.", in response to her first comment. After I said that, I stood there realizing how awkward that sounded. All I could say was, "That wasn't awkward at all. I'm not a killer or anything. Um, yeah." Thankfully, the other girl knew that I realized how morose that sounded, so she sort of understood that I didn't mean it was beautiful in a gross way. But still, inwardly I smacked myself on the forehead.
Well, there are still many more weeks to come this year. Till then, see ya!

Weird Science
My biology class is set up a little weird this semester, because for six weeks I will have one teacher, and the rest of the semester I will have another teacher.
The first teacher that walked in seemed nice. He has a dry sense of humor, but that is okay. After he left, since he would be teaching the second half and didn't need to be there, my other teacher walked up to the front of the class.
He pushes up his glasses and stares at us, waiting for us to be quiet. When we finally quiet down, he says, "My name is Dr. Olson." The rest of the introduction goes like this:
Dr. Olson: *seriously* I have a PhD in microbiology and in ______(some scientific class). I have two Masters in ________ and _________. I also have a BS in _____ and _______. So you might say that I have some experience. Now... I have worked hard to earn my title, so I expect to be called by my title. Do not call Mr. Teacher or Professor, or even worse, Mr. Olson. No. My name is Dr. Olson. If you call me anything other than that, you will fail. Do you understand.
Class: *nervously* Yes...
Dr. Olson: *seriously* Good, so what is my name?
Class: *murmurs* Dr. Olson.
Dr. Olson: Good, what is my name again?
Class: Dr. Olson.
It was at this moment that he whipped off his glasses, started laughing and said, "That was fun! I held my serious face for longer than I thought I could." The whole class, who was so scared of this teacher, burst into nervous laughing. Dr. Olson then said, "Actually, I hate my title, I hate being called professor, so please call me by my name."
Oh. My. Gosh. I was so scared. I instantly thought that I got the scariest teacher ever. Afterwards, he kept cracking jokes and was energetic. I think I am going to like this teacher.

Calculus Class
I met the rest of my teachers today.
My calculus teacher was okay. She is a happy lady who is somewhat soft spoken.
I made some friends in my class, which will be EXTREMELY helpful. I already had my friend Janie in the class with me and then I met Emily, Harry, and Roxy. Emily is a science major like me, so I have seen her before and I "know" her, but we haven't been properly introduced. I had never met Harry or Roxy until today, but they seemed like really nice people, and Roxy is a freakin' math wizard. We had a review to work on today and she picks it up and is like, " Oh, I remember this.", and just gets to work.
I , on the other hand, looked at it, sort of knew what the problem was, but I had no clue how to solve it. Roxy helped me a little bit, but then I just stopped, because it was not helping me at all. So, I gave up.
I do not recommend this to anyone, but it really wasn't helping me to learn by looking at Roxy's paper and asking an occasional question.
So that was it for my calculus class, which thankfully went by quite quickly.

First Day!
Today was the first day of school!
I actually only had one class today, when I should have had two.
So I went to my organic chemistry class today and I must say that my teacher is fun. She kept on cussing and she told us that if the class gets too loud she will raise her hand and that at that moment we are to "Shut up!"
So, my first impression of her is that she is gong to be a fun teacher, but I hope that I am correct.
I was also supposed to have a biology lab, but we haven't even had a class yet, so the teacher figured that we didn't need to meet just yet.
I'm not going to complain.
Now I just got to see how the other classes turn out. Fingers crossed!
