Saturday, January 13, 2007 first week of school soooo i survived my first week of school.. yay me! i didn't get TOO lost... and i made it to all my classes... big accomplishment for me haha... first week of classes was really.... different. well it was boring to begin with.. i don't think we actually really DID any lectures... well maybe half of one... but there were 4 pages of notes and we only got thru 2... in 2 hours. all my other classes were alllllll introductions all week long... i had pretty much 2 classes for each class... and yeah... all intros and talking about the course outlines and stuff... and you know how normally it takes a max of half an hour in university? well it takes the whole class here... like a whole 3 hour class..... i think college is going to take a little bit of getting used to. i feel like i'm back in highschool... and its not a good thing... its just weird! like... you have class with pretty much the same people the whole term... thats not bad.. you get to know people! but the teachers take attendance... and everyone there is so highschool.. i feel old. and annoyed. i'm not so good with ditzy valley girls and girls who say omigod more than once in a sentence... but i've met people! and they're not ditzy valley girls =) i met a guy.. one of the few guys in the program =) he's kool.. but everyone i've met is such a kid... it makes me feel so olllllld... we've formed our own little asian clique hahaha... not really =) its just a few of us that hang out that are asian and not international students.. except one hehehe but she's kool.. so she can hang out with us =) i guess once classes start i'll find out if i really like them or not.. but so far they seem okie... maybe having worked in a daycare makes me think that some of the stuff just seems like common sense.. but i'm sure i'm wrong about a lot of that haha... some of the courses seem pretty interesting... like i have a course in the lab school... where we get to learn observation techniques and whatever... so we get to practice that a lot... oh! which reminds me of one other thing about college that reminds me of highschool: group work. whhhhhhhy why why why??? the stuff we've been doing seems a little.... stupid so far.. but i'm sure there is a point to it all! i know its gonna be alot of work.. so i should stop thinking everything is so easy and actually GET to work haha... we find out placements next week... i know i most likely won't be at work... i won't say i'm not disappointed. i am. i mean i don't know for SURE... but i'm pretty sure i won't be doing my placement there. i guess i kinda had it set in my mind that i was going to do my placement there and there was no possible way that i would be placed anywhere OTHER than there... but i know there are other places near my house that i could be placed at... i just really wanted it to be work.... i totally set myself up for this disappointment.. no blaming anyone other than me this time... but i guess its good to be placed somewhere different.. that way i'll learn a different way of doing things and meet a different group of kids... at least i'll still get work when i get off classes early... hopefully. i'm gonna miss my kids. and so many of them are leaving and some of them are coming back.. and i'm gonna miss them all! it makes me sad. *sigh* on tuesday or thursday or whenever we find out placements i'll be mentally prepared now... i won't be so shocked about not getting placed where i want to get placed... and if i do get my placement there... even better! but i'm almost positive its somewhere else... its a good experience!! i just need to keep reminding myself... 0_o ( 12:37 AM ) ~ punchyfruit ~ |
