I think I blew it. Because we had to ultimately write the bio in class from scratch (we could use notes), I did my best to cut out as much as possible and still leave the jist. But I did screw up; I found some very awkward phrasing and a blatant error on the rearranged parts. We only had one hour. We’ll see how I did next Wed. (Monday’s a holiday, I must remind myself.) Nevertheless, I did hand in an 800 word paper. As I reached the 400 mark, I gave the instructor my best doe eyes and asked if we could go over 400 a little. He said it was no problem; he’s done it many times himself. He really didn’t have a limit. Yay! But since time was of the essence to complete the project. I had to work fast and smart. I think I do better at slow and smart, as we’ll most likely see.
I was so nervous when we started typing, my hands were shaking and I could barely strike a key. After about five minutes, I started to ease into it, and relaxed.
I really like both my classes tremendously! The instructor is the star. He’s entertaining, quick witted and very knowledgeable. I find his lectures very interesting. This will be a great semester. I think I’m the oldest one, in both classes, but that’s okay. The instructor is, I’d say judging by his experience and references, is about seven to ten years older than I am. He may appreciate having someone in his class that knows a little bit about what’s going on.
The campus is pretty, and green. And my classes are not too far apart logistically, but time wise, I have an I have an hour and forty-five minute wait—plenty of study time. Yesterday, since I haven’t received my books yet, I sat in the warm sunshine of a quiet green area and did the crossword puzzle from the daily paper, and read a bit. It was very pleasant.
Another good point, my first class starts at an awkward time in the day, 2:30, so parking, up front and personal, is available. I will really appreciate this on rainy days (if we ever have any).
I like going to the big kids’ school. (Can you tell, I’m excited?)
