I expected this to be a lot harder.

Unless my Poetry class this afternoon is awful, I'm going to have a relatively easy and honestly fun semester! All of my classes so far have seemed pretty chill, and my teachers have come across as nice and friendly and understanding. And young, all of them are young. My Intro. to Education teacher, as I think I've told most of you, is... So. Hot. Like, seriously. And not in my usual old and/or gay man way. He's 28 and, well, just really cool. So I'll let you know how that goes. ;D

Two of my classes that I've had so far, General Psychology and Family/Developmental Relationships, have been HUGE. Which I like, though even the smaller classes have had a much better feel than normal high school classes, even if they are the same size.

So I'm taking a FIG (Freshman Interest Group) for Education majors, and there are, I believe, thirteen girls in it altogether. We have four classes together (all my classes except for Stats and Poetry). All the girls are really nice, and most of us ate lunch together yesterday, walked around campus, etc. Two of them, Vanessa and Camille, and I seem to be getting to be better friends within that group as well, which is really cool. And two other girls plan on studying Special Education like me, so hopefully they'll be in more of my classes for the next few years, too. :)

One of the classes in our FIG is called a Colloquium, and before yesterday I literally had no idea what it was going to be like. But it seems like it'll be fun, like, we're supposed to basically talk about our other classes, we can study together if we need to, but the teacher (who's a third-year grad student for English Education) said that we'll pretty much just be discussing what we're learning about, and listening to music and going on field trips around the town:)

So things are going well, my friends. And as much as I miss all of you, I'm glad that we all have the opportunity to try something different for a while, a chance to get out and meet some new people and do some new things. This is not exactly what I expected college to be like, but so far it's pretty damn good.
