First College week
I was able to live through my very first week in College and it actually wasn't too bad even thought I have always a lot to do.
Well to start out with Monday my first school day and also the most relaxing one that I probably will have. I got in the morning at 9:00 to my first class which was French. It was an easy and short class. Our teacher introduced herself, gave us the Syllabus and explained it to us and then released us from class. It was very nice :)
After that I went over to Matthew Hall to go to my first Programming class which I was really exited about. I wondered already on my way over there what we are going to do in this class.
I worked pretty much my whole life with computers, ok actually starting when I was 6 years old. That's when my father gave me an old Computer that his Company was about to throw away. It was really and VERY old model. It was one of those Computers that was still running completely on MS-Dos and did not have Windows yet. No CD and well yes it had one for a little 3.5 disk but threr was also one spot for a I think it was a 9" disk....
Well so I arrived at my Programming class sat down and waited for the teacher to come. Unfortunatly he came late but that didn't really matter.
Well he introduced himself and also just handed out the syllabus and then let us leave. I went to my next class which was right next door didn't take place since my teacher there was already on his first day sick. It was kind of my lucky day^^
I went to the picnic and met there some friends and had lunch with them which was quite funny.
I won't go into detail there if the persons I was with are reading this then they'll understand right Katie?^^
Well after that mhh... I don't quite remember I think I went to my dorm and organized there some things.
Well Thusday I got up in the morning and at 9:30 I was at my Accounting class. now here it comes. We got on our first Accounting class a 25 page reading for Thursday and answer a sheet with 62 questions on it which was not required but required. She started already teaching on Thusday meaning already in the first of here classes...
After that I went to my first english class which was quite interesting. I got really excited when I heared that we are going to have like a disscussion class in there.
On WednesdayI had my first honors forum class. I came into that class without knowing anything about it. I tried to get some information from other students about it but well I got pretty much nothing out of my research.
So I went into that class and it was quite nice that we all sat around in a circle and we got to hear that we all will talk about a part of a country this year france :)
I'm still not quite sure what this class will bring up but I'm sure it is going to be fun.
On thursday then was Accounting again first and we wrote our first Pop-Quiz. Well luckily I got full points in it.
After that I had English which was a lot of fun since we started our first discussion there about Machiavelli The prince. It was very interesting sadly the hour was over so quick...
After English I started my first day of work which is Tutoring every day. It is a nice job and I also do the Webdesign for the International Language resource center which is a nice job for me since I got some experience in that.
Well Friday again normal classes and then in the afternoon I first went to play a little bit of Pool. There I heard from a guy that there was going to be a water splash party thing^^ I was like: "Yeah I will be there!" And went then there when it started at seven. It was a LOT of FUN. I tried out all the rides. Where the big slide was the most fun, since I could do always my flip on it. On the smaller slide the flip wasn't that good and I couldn't add my superman to it.
Anyway I was also a long while in the Foam part trying that nobody gets a hold of my feet to pull them away, which was really hard ^^
Also another funny part was when I was in the Foam a girl I knew came up to me holding on to me and said: "Germany, protect France from Amerika." Well she didn't want anybody to grab here feed^^
After the Water party there was also a dance party in the Billingscenter which I went to, but I was not really impressed by it and I left around 1:30 already even thought it was going to keep on until like 3 a.m. but it just was not really my kind of style of dance. I tried to enjoy everything there and it was ok but...
On saturday I woke up in the morning with my back hurting (from the water party^^) well I tried to do a little bit of all the Homework that I had to do and then later on in the evening I found out that the international Club is going to "The Bridge" which was a fun thing so I joined them. First there was Breakdancing and Breakdance battles which was a lot of fun to watch and I even joined in in the end into one :)
After the Breakdance many of the int. students wanted to leave (I didn't understand why since there was going to start a DJ dance party soon after). Well so all 30 of us went to the coffee shop I think it is called Starbucks if I remember right, but you all probably know which one I mean.
On Sunday I stayed pretty much all day in my dorm and worked on my homework and relaxed a little bit from the Week which felt good.
So that was my first week in College. It is a great experience and I hope that I will learn here a lot more and also have fun from time to time here :)

MC,
If I separate all your comments on classes from the other commentary, I learn much of what you expect and like about higher education. I also realize you will attend ALL the parties available, although you are discriminating! I enjoyed your first week. Thanks for sharing!
