Alright! August 28th, I started college. Right now, I'm taking five classes at a total of 13 credits. (I'll need 30 credits every year, or 15 per semester. I went into college with 3).

The History Class is allot darker than anything I've taken in high school, so it's a nice refresher from all the sugarcoated history I was taught.

The English class is interesting (partly because the teacher can keep our attention, partly because to the right of me are four girls haha). So far we've been doing readings of short-stories, and on occassion, he cracks a joke about the students in the class.

Math is Math, which really isn't saying much.

I'm taking a Communications class. Why I decided to do so is to help me with my public speaking, which in turn would make me look good in front of my friends when i make 'spur-of-the-moment' speeches.

And then there's researching history, which is a good class, but for thirty minutes. After that, it's a bit of a fight to keep focusing.

I've paid a visit to the College's library. I haven't checked anything out, but I have spotted many books that have caught my eye. In addition, I've gained a hatred for the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress system (years at Barnes and Noble have lead me to prefer genre, then alphabetical by author). But what can you do?

I've joined the political science club (partly because they have pizza, mostly because of in depth political discussions), as well as The League of Extraordinary Nerds (awesome group. We'll be having a discussion of Batman next week, and we're working on getting the Bat Signal at the college).

Seeing as how I'm a commuter, and I can't drive, I'm usually dropped off at the campus around 7 in the morning, with my earliest class Communications (8:30AM Monday, Wednesday, Friday), or History (11:30AM Tuesday, Thursday). But there are some people I talk with while I'm waiting, and they're great to talk to. They really bring down my stress levels before (and sometimes after) some classes. And the fact that some of my friends go there is a big plus too.
