It’s almost the end of the first week of school for me.  It’s been both stressful and rewarding.

I ended up dropping out of the physics class, and I’m downgrading to pre-calculus because my last precalc class just did not prepare me for anything.  But I’m on the right track.

The administration here is wonderful, everyone is very helpful, all of the teachers are passionate about their subjects, they make you have an interest because of their enthusiasm and passion.  It’s a good feeling.

I’m doing well in drawing, which is nice, but it’s still only the first week so we’ll see if I improve still.  I hope to.  I want to take painting next!

A surprise to me: finding out that I’m really interested in cultural anthropology.  It’s like an extension of my natural interest in people, and why they do what they do.  I just never really knew what anthropology was.  My anthro professor is awesome, this old English dude who’s been teaching the class for at least 25 years.  Fantastic.  I’m very excited about this course and where it may lead me.

My computer science teacher is hilarious, and also very passionate about his subject matter.  I look forward to his assignments, as I think they’ll be both challenging and interesting.  Yay!  Real school!!

We’ll see how precalc goes, but I’m hoping to review and gain a better understanding of what little I did manage to learn last semester, and then further learn everything we inconveniently didn’t cover.

That’s it for now.  :]

Oh my goodness.

Orientation for Stony Brook was today, and I’d be lying if I said that much of it wasn’t a huge waste of time.  There was a lot of repeated information that didn’t need to be spoon fed to us, and I missed out on some opportunities to get some things done.  Like find where my first class of the day is tomorrow morning– bright and early at 8:30 am.  I think I’m going to need coffee.
