So... JSU wasn't as big and scary as I thought it would be.

So... JSU wasn't as big and scary as I thought it would be.  LOL  I guess I did enough preparation ahead of time (with taking a few trips up there for DSS and my student ID and to walk from the parking lot to my building) that I felt like I had a clue, which is always a nice feeling.  I also got there early, so I wasn't fighting for a parking spot or rushing around in a panic.  Everything actually went pretty smoothly.

Ok, so I'm not the best backpack-dragger.  LOL  There were a couple of times it tried to flip over on me and I got most of the way up the hill before I realized that one of the straps was caught between the bottom of the backpack and the ground and was being severed from the friction.  I might need to find a way to fix that if I ever plan to carry it on my back, but it's heavy so I probably won't do that.  Seems like a weird design flaw that that could even happen, but whatever.

I made it to the programming class and someone had put a trashcan right in the middle of the door frame, barely propping the door open and making it difficult to enter the room.  I went ahead and opened the door all the way and propped it open with the trashcan that way, so at least people could get in.  Turns out that we need a security code to get in the computer lab.  That is fancy.  I'd much rather put in a code that have to push a trashcan to get in the room.  LOL

After that class was over I was headed down the hall to Linear Algebra when I found Dr. Trifas' office.  I hadn't planned to stop by, but she seemed eager to talk and was really nice.  I think her class will be very interesting.  I will find out tomorrow!  🙂  Then in Linear Algebra we went over the syllabus and took notes.  Gotta love it when your professors don't waste time!  Dr. Kim goes pretty fast, so I will have to stay on my toes to keep up with her.

All in all, it was pretty good.  Even though it was my first day there I could spot the freshmen.  LOL  Most of them looked like I thought I would feel, the poor things.  I think the worst part for me was giving my accommodation letters to the teachers - it was so awkward.  🙁  I made sure to tell them that I don't need anything right now - it's just a precaution for if I have a flare up.  Also, the 3 professors that I met today have accents.  That will take some getting used to, but I like it a lot.  🙂

I've got some things to print and I need to go over the notes I took.  Otherwise, I feel pretty prepared.  Since I am not working it feels weird to have "down time" like this, but I am not complaining.  I'm still trying to get over being sick.  I'm very congested, and I've got a headache today - probably both from congestion and the stress of excitement.  I feel like a nap is in order.  It was all I could do to not cough and clear my throat and blow my nose through class today, so I need to get over this crud RIGHT NOW.

I hope you all are having a good week.  🙂❤
