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. 🙂❤
