First Day of Classes
One of my major downfalls as a student is that I hate reading for class. I would far prefer to spend a few hours a week in lecture listening to the professor talk than to sit down and read a chapter in a book on the same subject. I don't know why. I can read for fun all day, every day, but when it's a text book, jst can't do it. I know a lot of people who would never go to class if they didn't have to -- just read and take exams on the reading. I don't read for class unless it's absolutely necessary, and even then sometimes I skimp on that. It's not a good practice, but it's a bad habit of mine. Well, today I heard my least-favorite words come out of my professor's mouth: "The book and the lectures don't cover the same materials at all, but you will be responsible for both." Yeah, I have to read an entire textbook on small group behavior. <.shudder> He already lost points by lecturing the entire time on the first day of class. Lol. And then he throws this at us. The nerve! <.g>
My second class of the day, natural settings laboratory, was cancelled. If I'd thought back to my days as a biology major taking chemistry classes left and right, lab classes don't meet the first week of school. Wish I'd remembered that before I walked all the way over to the psych building! Ah well, exercise, right?
Speaking of exercise, my third class of the day was my Intro to Jazz Dance. Eeep! Everyone's stick-thin and has danced before. I took ballet for three years in elementary school... lol. It looks like fun, if I can get over the intimidation factor. I should just embrace the fact that I am not a dancer and probably will not be impressing anyone in that class with my flexibility and movement, and just have a good time with it. It is my last semester, after all. And Shelley, if you get into the class, we can be goofballs together! Woohoo!
Outside of classes, I got a lot done on my scrapbook. I now have seven pages completed. Yay! Pretty soon the livingroom can stop looking like Hobby Lobby threw up all over it. <.g>

I'm not sure I'd say "I scrapbook" because this is only the second one I've done, but yeah, I love it. My scrapbook from my first WDW program is probably my favorite thing I have from the CP. I still look at it all the time. Heehee. This one's mucho fun. Do you have a Hobby Lobby? They have TONS of scrapbooking stuff there. We have a whole scrapbooking store at home, but I didn't make it over there before I came to school, so Hobby Lobby it was. *g*
