Welcome to UCR

Part of Growing up is learning to think Critically. If you told me "dude, quit wearing the sandals" i would have the mental capacity to say "Fuck you! I like these sandals!"

Today was first day of school for me. Honestly i had it all planned out from the moment i woke up. In truth, I left twenty minutes later then i wanted to, only to find that my intended route was crammed with traffic. So I had to backtrack to a different route.

Then the parking lot was full, giving me a good five minutes playing parking lot roulette. Finally i found one (the farthest one from campus) so I cheesed it, only to realize that i had forgotten where my class was.

Apparently, looking on a map online and just "making a note of it" does not work for me.

I checked the directory screaming in my head "where the fuck is it!?" while i'm already five minutes late. finally, i find it and run to class going "please god don't let this professor be an asshole!"

When I finally do get to the room to find is empty, save for an English counselor.
"English *whatever my section number was*?" She asked
"umm... *me gasping for breath*... yeah."
"Well class is cancelled for today, but here is your syllabus come to the screening tonight"

As i begrudgingly take the syllabus and leave, i think...

welcome to College!

Of my three professors, i only met one today. My Science Fiction Professor, Raphals. Truthfully, i like her. Somewhat scatter shot in her organization, but brilliant when it comes to her lecturing. Or maybe its not her. Maybe its just the material we are covering. I have actually taking a Science Fiction course before. In fact, one of the stories on the curriculum (nine billion names of God by Arthur C Clarke) is something that was covered in a class of mine before (even though i confess skipping it XD)

Its classes like this that made me want to go to college and study English. However, that is not my only chief concern this time around. Another issue that needs addressing is the re-entry into college society, which was somewhat harder than i remember.

All things in time, I suppose.

Something to look forward to as well:

First assignment: a mini paper on the Matrix. Wish me luck ^__^
