First Day of Spring Semester

So today was my first day back to college and the conclusion of winter break. I was slightly nervous just because I haven’t been there for a month, and wouldn’t you know, I should have renewed my ID the week before, oh well. There was a long line of people waiting to get in because we weren’t informed and at leas 2/3 had to get a sticker. Luckily, I was still early to class, and I found my two classes okie dokie.

My first class was Calc I, and we were actually locked out because the teacher apparently doesn’t have a key. He really should. He turned out to be a slightly tubby, Chinese guy named Mr. Wang. He likes to talk a lot but doesn’t speak English very well. Not so much in terms of words but in terms of pronunciation. I mean, sure, he constantly uses plural nouns and forgets prepositions and conjunctions, but when you say words that sound just like other, completely different words, it can be confusing. Especially when you say words that don’t sound like words! So, I’ll have to listen closely. Thankfully he’s really nice. He acknowledges he sucks at English, and he jokes around a bit, and he laughs. When he was going around asking us our name and what we do, though, he seemed to not want to listen to me, like he wanted to get away from me, cause he walked away before I finished. Maybe I just wasn’t talking fast enough. Whatever, lol. Anyway, our first class was more about not math than math. Or, as Mr. Wang pronounces it, mass. So far, the class seems to be okie dokie. People were saying it’s hard or something, but if we’re just teaching ourselves, I’ll do fine.

My second class was Network Analysis, a continuation of Intro to Circuit Analysis. This time we’re analyzing AC circuits instead of DC. Our classroom gets to be our lab room too. The teacher seems quite nice. She has an Indian sounding accent, but obviously, she could be something else. Her voice isn’t annoying, yay! And I can understand her just fine. She’s also nice and jokes around a bit. She doesn’t talk a lot, our first class was mostly actually course material, and she doesn’t use powerpoints, yay! I can’t really think of anything else to mention.

Uhm… yea. end!
