1st Day of College

 I have successfully completed my first day of college!!!! This was today's schedule:

Math
Intro to Criminal Justice
Hour break
Texas Gov.
*repeat every Monday Wednesday and Friday

The number one most important thing about any first day including high school and college is you want to pick a really good seat (I prefer to sit somewhere on the second row) because the seat you chose will most likely be the chair you sit in  for the semester. Its all about timing, you don't want to get there to early and not know who might sit by you. But If you get there to late you are left with sitting by the weird guy with the BO problem. So I walk into my math class 15 mins early and to my surprise most of the class is already here and i'm left with only a few options on where to sit. There are a few chairs in the last row and nobody is sitting in the first, so I take a chance and be the first person in the front row. Which was kind awkward at first but more people came in and sat by me so it wasn't to bad.
One thing that was weird was seeing people I went to high school with walking around campus. Most of these people I never spoke to while in high school but there was some kind silent agreement saying yes we both recognize who the other person is but we only acknowledge each others presence with awkward eye contact. hahah
 I am very excited about my Intro to CJ class (mostly because its a class about my major) because my professor is awesome!!! Hes really easy going and funny and some of the projects we are doing this semester are really cool, he has a ton of experience as both a lawyer and policemen so i'm really looking forward to learning more!
My Texas Gov class really surprised me, I was expecting some boring professor and a ton of long lectures but that's not what a I got at all! When I first walked into the classroom I saw a bunch of big comfortable chairs and couches and free coffee in the back corner. So I just assumed I was in the wrong room so I went up to the women making the coffee and asked if this was the correct room number for Texas Gov., turns out she was the professor and told me to take a seat. When class started she went on to explain that this was a special Tx Gov. class because its a very relaxed style of teaching and we would be focusing on the concept of fear and what part it plays in Tx politics ( which I thought was very interesting), She also said we would not be taking any standardized testing during the semester but instead answering free response questions and journaling about different topics. she asked the class if anybody knew that they were signing up for this kind of Gov. class turns out nobody did but she assured us this still gives us our credit haha. Next we all went around and introduced are self and said what we are majoring in and what scars us most about our government, which lead into great conversations and it showed how much the professor loved her job which made the overall experience enjoyable. Plus there was this really cute guy(one of the many) that sat across from me and apparently there will be a lot of team work activities... Im ok with that ;)
Overall I had a great first day and really think i'm going to enjoy college!!!!
