So today was my first day back at VCU after a winter break that was WAY too long. I’m happy to be back for several reason. One of those reasons is that I really got tired of being in the same house as my parents after the first couple weeks. I got tired of doing chores and cleaning up after everyone. Secondly I really missed my friends from school. I didn’t miss the classes so much but going to class is a lot more entertaining than sitting in a house all day for days at a time. So I can honestly say that I was happy to be back in class today.

First I had Pre-Calculus 9:00 – 10:45. That class already intimidates me. Math isn’t my best subject and Ms. Ginn, my math instructor, even said that there is so much material to go over in that class that we will not be able to cover it all in class. In other words, we have to do it ourselves out of class. That made me somewhat sad. But the great news is that all my materials that would have cost me nearly $200 for that math class was provided by my LaJeanne. She took Math151 last semester and she gave me her books for free. I love her for that.

My second and third classes were simple. Focus Inquiry part II and Introductory Chemistry overall interest me way more than any math does. It was great being back in my extremely small FI class with people I knew and a teacher that I am already familiar with. My Chemistry class has over 100 people in it but already I feel as though I’ll do fine in that class. I love science, Biology more than Chemistry, but still I am actually looking forward to a full semester in this class.

I’ve pretty much already been to all of my classes for this semester except one. Tomorrow I go to Anthropology for the first time. I wonder what that will be like…

I am officially in love with my Tuesdays and Thursdays at VCU. I only have one class on these days and it’s at 9:30 in the morning. This is great because after 10:45 I’m free to do whatever for the rest of the day. That means I can sleep, study, sleep, read, sleep, go out to eat (a few times), and… did I mention sleep? haha… But anyway, my only class on these days is Introductory Anthropology. Today was my first day in that class so basically I just got a feel of my instructor. He has an accent that only makes me want to listen harder to what he has to say. His accent reminds me of Steve Martin’s character in The Pink Panther. Steve plays the really goofie French detective Jacques Clouseau whose English is contorted by his French accent. So I guess based off my observation, I think my Anthropology instructor may be French. Overall, after Dr. Alex Steenhuyse’s brief overview of the course I personally feel pretty good about it. It’s only Tuesday morning, 10:16AM, and I’ve already been to all of my classes for this second semester. Life is looking great… so far…
