I'm going to put it in spoiler so it doesn't get mixed up with the real subject at hand. [spoiler]Basically, this first semester isn't challenging me, at least not yet. My biggest challenge overall is my class that is supposed to 'help me adjust to learning at college' and such. I'm probably going to make it through this semester with perfect marks, except possibly that class, which really bothers me. Myself and the teacher have 'negative' personalities towards each other. She believes she knows the right way to study, and that I shouldn't be able to learn the material in my classes without developing strange study habits of her development. Her assignments reflect this, which annoys the hell out of me. And I think she really didn't like it when I answered her, "do you feel in charge" question with, "If I'm not in charge, I'll take charge." I'm thinking about switching the class to Pass/Fail so it doesn't affect my GPA, since it's two really useless credit hours, and I'm exactly 2 credits over the 'recommended freshmen load'. I love my math and computer science classes. They feel great. I enjoy lectures, and I seem to be ahead in most of my classes (except theatre, where we havn't had a quiz yet and I can't put my finger on what exactly we are doing in there...). I've finally seen the difference between sitting in the front and the back myself. It's a huge gap, and I think I'm most comfortable in the 2nd row, sometimes 3rd. The front row doesn't feel right since I'm not able to observe the classes reaction at all. The back is just full of talking and sleeping, no fun at all. I actually came to school to learn, who knew? Actually, I didn't know that till I got here and realized I like learning, for once in my life. I found a great place to leave my dorm to study too. It's a nice little building by my dorm that allows free access to private study rooms. I can get 5 hours of work done in half the time in there. It's been awesome. As for the social aspects, I've met a lot of people, but not the kind of people I make friends with. They are all into partying and such, which is not my environment. My environment, believe it or not, is either the wilderness or the gaming table, what a surprise. I've two prospective gaming groups. One is mostly enworlders, much older than myself on average, that may or may not work out too well. The other group is local undergrads that have an interest, but no experience. I'll be gaming with both soon enough...[/spoiler] If you want to respond to the above, through email please, not the boards.</blockquote>
