Well I started back to school Jan. 19th. And since then I've learned ALOT, and most of it wasn't in the classroom. Though I learned a lot there too.
First a few things I learned in the classroom:
-I could never be a college professor, props to those who can, but it's not in me. In fact I'm pretty sure, no positive, that teaching period isn't in me.
-How did I ever make it through high school without reading Macbeth. When I mentioned in my Eng lit class that I'd never read it you'd have thought I'd grown a third eye the way everyone looked at me. Oh well, I've read it now and I think I got most of it and I did enjoy reading it.
-I like doing math, it was fun for me for the first time in for like ever. I hated math in high school, I did 2 first semesters of algebra and dropped it both times because I was failing it. But now I'm getting it, I like it, it makes so much sense to me. And here's hoping that I still feel that way through the next 4 or 5 math classes that I have to take before I graduate.
-That not all college professors, teachers, instructors (I get confused as what to call some of them) are not created equal. I had an awesome Eng & Math teacher, I loved the energy of my weight-lifting instructor. And while my econ teacher had some great stories, and did a good job teaching me econ, it was hard to follow his train of thought sometimes. Oh and the assistant for my 3 ITM classes ROCKED. Grace got me through those 3, 8 wks classes and saved my rear-end more than a few times. So now I'm worried, did I just get lucky with my professors the first time around or can I get a repeat for next semester??
And then there are the things I learned just walking around campus and watching other students.
-Before you wear that really cute skirt or shorts out in public do us all a favor and bend over in front of a mirror so you can see what you are showing all of us. Believe me it ain't pretty, no one should be exposed to that.
-Men should not under any circumstance wear capris, it's just shouldn't be done, EVER!
-Guys should never wear scary deep-v-neck-shirts that are paper thin looking, it's just creepy in a really bad way.
-No matter how cute you think it looks, wearing sweats with anything written across your rear-end is tacky, and we'll leave it at that.
-The bump-it is alive and thriving. I think in my econ class alone I counted over 2 dozen girls that had suspicions looking bumps on their heads. And my theory is that some girls may believe that the bigger the bump on their head the smart they are, but again it's just a theory.
-Apparently if you wear a perky little bow in your hair you are intitled to giggle obnoxiously at everything your boyfriend says even when it makes absolutely no sense at all. But you must have a hair bow in every color to match every possible color of shirt you own, and you must wear a bow every-single-freaking-day.
-I hope that man-purses never become popular.
-Wearing a bra is never opptional. And please do not wear anything see-through if you do decide to go to go bra-less.
These are just a few of my observations of my time spent on campus. I'm sure that come August when I go back I'll have even more.
