New School Day

So I just started my 5th and final year of College. I'm almost done, woo hoo! I 've noticed that this place seems to be so much more crowded than usual!! In one class this morning, Maureen, my darling girlfriend and I had to pull up an extra table, because we were out of seats. I barely made it through an entire row of strangers to an empty seat in my math class, which provoked more anxiety than I wanted to deal with. From now on, I will be way early for Math, to get a freaking seat, so I don't have to squeeze in front of a ton of people. I'm glad to be almost done. I can't wait.

So I have 4 classes, an Algebra class, I know... Algebra, for a "Super Senior" like myself, yes, I've had a horrible time in math in the past, but it was mostly my fault, rarely going to class, rarely doing the homework and almost always sleeping in class. What can I say, I was stupid. I'm a new student now. And I have a Psyiological Psychology class, a Research Methods class, and a Social Psychology class.

They all seem interesting. I've found out what the professor's game is, it's intimidate, intimidate, intimidate.

The math professor who I've had before, says, "And don't think that because you do well on your first test, that you'll do well on the others, because they are far harder than the first one.... Don't get too much confidence." Wow, why don't you beat us down right away!!

My Social Psych professor seems to be somewhat of a dick, which is kind of funny in a way, he is Chuck Norris obsessed, (Chuck Norris leads the horse to water, and makes it drink) and starts class with a tidbit of Chuck statements, or comics, or whatever. But tells us how petty he is, and if you piss him off, you'll pay.

And my idol of a teacher, Hendy, was as pleasant as usual, I adore her. We have a tough class with her this semester but I know I'll be fine.

I volunteered to help with a Research oppurtunity with my Social Psych Prof. You see, I'm trying to redeem my credibility with him. I took a Personality Psych class with him like 2 years ago, and rarely went, but passed, and when I went, I was on time. He pretty much disliked me, but I'm hoping that I can restore his liking of me, by being ON TIME, and always there as well as helping with a volunteer thing, which will get me a nice recommendation letter from him in the future.

Note to Self: Remember to write down all of these things for a resume now, so I don't forget them later.
