Refelctions on classes as I sit in them

splinteredstarSo, this was written as I sat in each class or shortly thereafter. My tense does strange things. But oh well.
First class today is Gender and Society. Gender ratio seems to be 6/4 in favor of girls, which isn't as heavily skewed as I was expecting. A few people I know but no one I'm friends with. But no one I hate either, which is good. (There are a few on campus I loathe. Very few, thankfully.)
...teacher is not here yet. This is not encouraging, and makes me twitch. I'm almost completely certain I have the right class, and yet.... This is my life, as you know.
Ah, there he is... and it's the badass one I've never gotten before! Woot! He looks like a puppet on jerky strings...
...oh god I think I'm in love. He's joking and sarcastic and clearly knows his shit. Western Canadian, apparently. And he's hilarious and active and this will be awesome. Focuses on both women and men, which is good. 2:1 ratio, he says - can't ignore the boys, of course.
Woooot, love!
Now, to Latin. Yay Latin! God, I've missed the lunatics in this class. And the Dr! He's twitchy but I love him anyway. And K is in here! I wasn't sure she'd be able to get in.... And we have newbies. It shouldn't be hilarious to see the newbies faced with the Dr for the first time, but it totally is. He takes some getting used to, at times. He's quick and funny and a bit bitchy and perfectly fabulous.
Kash is here too! Besties are both here!
Hopefully my review comes in handy... I never write as much in this class, it keeps me too busy. We're reviewing right now because we're all out of practice and half-asleep and "...oh god I know this I know this crap he's looking at me!"
He's got that look, you know. Very intense. Tends to melt brains.
Even Michael, who I loathe, is amusing in small doses. Tiny class, this semester... and now to lunch! Hope my meal plan went through...
It did! And I have lunch with K! Excellence.
Michael and... some chick from Latin join us. I am the butchest person in this group. Huh. Felt awkward as they talked about recent sexual experiences - virgin!me felt strange. It was easier when I identified as asexual....
Now for Social research Intro. Taught by the head of the department. Nice lady, really. No one in class I really know - a few faces I've seen around, but no one I'm friends with. Few hot guys, few cute girls.
This will be a tolerable class, I think. Teacher's voice is a bit annoying, and she has a weakness for bad jokes, but I'll be able to deal. Also has a peer editing board and student-to-student study help, which is excellent. Not sure hwo much I'll need, but I'll see if I can give a hand.
Oh, yay, research project. Both interesting and terrifying, but a while away regardless. Sounds like an easy course, reallly....
So, that was my first day, more or less. Still have two classes tomorrow, which will be epic. Awesome teacher is teaching one of them, and Soviet Union is the other. So there is *glee* impending. I will tell you how it goes, of course.
