Back to school, back to schoooool....

So I haven't been in college in like three years. Why? Was it because I felt as if I didn't need it? No. Was it because I was too busy working and did not want to trade the opportunity to make cash for the chance to to gain a proper education? Maybe a little. Was it because I always meant to get back into school but was just too lazy to actually go sign up for class and then all of a sudden it was too late? That actually probably sums it up the most. But now, for whatever reason it may be, I have made my triumphant return. Unfortunately, the lazy side popped up enough to only allow me to sign up for one measly late start class. However, this could be the best way for me to do so. I had plans of originally taking a full workload and signing up for 4-5 classes. Considering I haven't been in school in three years or so, that may have turned into the biggest mistake I could have made. Also, since I kind of sucked at school all the previous times I started, I am forced into going to a community college as opposed to an actual University. On the one hand it sucks because I'm basically forced into working as hard as possible to go from this school to a real school. On the other hand, it's way cheaper and, in my opinion, filled with way more colorful characters for me to make my observations on members of this race we call human. As of today i know three people's names in my class and non of them are my teacher. I honestly have no idea what her name is. I think she's married though. Also, she appears to be not that much older than me which kind of makes me feel incredibly behind in the " What am I doing with my life?" category. She also presents everything we would need to take class notes on in a power point form which is also available online, making it somewhat completely unnecessary to take notes in class. When there's no notes to be taken, and all we are talking about is information that is provided online, I get bored. However, it has opened up a fantastic opportunity for me to take notes on members of my class and wacky things said in class. This is very fun. I took three pages worth of notes to day and the majority of them were just about things that happened in class and things said by my other classmates. So, getting to the point of this blog, I will now share with you my general observations on class accompanied by any information needed to fully explain what was going on. So, without any further ado, heres what happened in class today.

-First off, I drew a picture of the brain child sitting next to me. He seems to be competing for the top spot as far as mentions are concerned. The drawing was accompanied by the line,"What's due next Tuesday? Oh it's due at the4 end of next month? oh ok." This dude loves to ask questions and his first of the day was about an assignment due next Tuesday. The teacher told him it was due March 29. Already i can tell this kid pays attention and will be the subject of many great moments throughout the course of the semester.

- "Not very popular vote." - We have just been told the popular vote in regards to the election of a president really means nothing. Also, this is to show not all notes will be winners.

- "I'm with weird guy -------->" At this point I do not know the name of the guy sitting next to me, however, I've discovered he's a little weird.

-"----------> Dude loves to talk and make points. They're kinda dumb though. (Update: his name;s Joe. Makes sense)Dude has two pencils and a sharpener. What??? (Update: Never raises hand to speak.)" Pretty much speaks for himself. The end part refers to the point that our teacher asks all the students to raise their hands if they want to answer a question. Joe apparently has no plans to ever do this.

-"Teacher with Rock 'n' Roll hair and bangs!?!?" She does.

-"Some dude maced a St.Charles Cop. I'm afraid of him. Bet he likes either heavy metal or jam bands." This guy is the other person making a push for most mentioned class member.

-"I got a lot of wigs!!(accompanied by picture)" There is an older black woman in my class and the teacher pointed out that she changed he hairstyle to which she responded, "get used to that. mI got a lot of wigs!!"

-"Teacher said "What's up with that?" I guess she's cool. Also, she was on T.V.. She's famous!!(Sex tape scandal?) (Update: no sex tape : (just talked about Rick Santorum)" Once again, speaks for itself.

-"Chick in the back likes to show everyone how smart she is." This girl is that person in class who knows a decent amount about the subject matter but, instead of just answering questions, feels the need to give a long, detailed description for all of her answers.

-"Teacher = sassy. I like it but I'm never raising my hand." It is at this time I've decided to never raise my hand unless I am absolutely certain of the answer because if you are wrong she will say you are and usually have a snappy little comeback. Which, I must say, I enjoy.

-"Update: i kinda wanna punch Joe in the face." I kind of wanted to.

-"Update: I'm really afraid of Justin." The guy who maced the cop is named Justin and has divulged just enough information for me to be totally afraid of him.

-"Classroom stats: Josh 1/1 answering questions." I knew the answer. booyah!!!

-" My teacher just said Bullshit. She's awesome. Oh and she remembered my name."

-"Teacher will not be stepping on Joe's lawn." Joe made a comment on the second amendment about how in Texas you can shoot someone for stepping on your lawn.

-"Update: Justin's OK. I could hang with him. However, as soon as it looks like some shit could go down, I'm out." At this point, I'm not totally afraid of Justin. I still have my eye on him though.

-"Craig is kind of a know-it-all but he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does." Craig is the third name I've learned and he's that kid that tries to answer questions a lot. He's almost got the right answer but not quite.

Well folks, that's all for today's class. PLease come back next tuesday and thursday to see what's new in class. Should be interesting. Good night and thanks for making it the whole way through.
