Classes started yesterday, and it’s about time. It’s been way too long since I was really in school, so I’m excited to finally be going back (and full-time at that!) Yesterday I had my graphic design class, and already started an abstract project using only typography. The teacher seems okay, but he talks too fucking much. He kept talking to one of the girls that was sitting in my row, and it just annoyed the shit out of me. I suppose it had a lot to do with the fact that she was using some guy to design her website and wasn’t going to pay him for it. She was like “Well, I’m going out to dinner with him, but I really don’t want to…” I almost chimed in and told her to get over herself, and if she’s going to screw him over, she’ll get hers back eventually. But I held my tongue, though that didn’t stop me from muttering “shut the fuck up” and having the kid next to me agree 😛
Today was my Microsoft Office class. It’ll be easy as pie. Nothing too interesting there, but there were a couple of cute guys in the class. Not like I talked to them though, since I wasn’t anywhere near them. Tomorrow I’ve got GD again, so hopefully it’ll be somewhat interesting. Then my favorite (hopefully) class is on Thursday. It’s my internet technologies class which will primarily be about hosting, servers, and all that other good stuff. I’m really hoping that I’ll be one of few (or the only) female in that class, just so I can boost my ego even further.
The only class I don’t have to go on campus for is my WWW Authoring class, which is strictly online. I’m slightly disappointed, since I’d love to be in a class for this (as if I really need to be taught this) but unfortunately it wasn’t available. I don’t think this class starts until October, though I’m really impatient. I’m going to email the department head and ask her if it’s possible to get started early on this class rather than wait another two months. I mean, why not, it’s based online anyway. 😀
Aside from class, I’ve been working on stuff for the new client I have with work. Their graphic designer just sent me his PSD today, but there were uhm, a few things I did NOT like, so I sent him a really long email on it (and to the client) so hopefully some things will be considered/looked into. I got in some hours today; Ended up working 9-1:30pm, and played around with subversion and Ruby On Rails during most of that, and then got a skeleton set up for the site.
Tomorrow is going to be busy. Work in the morning, then off to buy 4 new tires for my car, and get an oil change. Then off to school early to buy $330 worth of books, and then GD class from 7-10pm. Debating whether or not to go to sleep now, or when I can’t keep my eyes open.
Ah, I see even in college, there are still those girls who think they can get away with getting other people to do their coursework. When are they going to learn that it’s not going to do them any good in the long run?
An internet technology class? Sounds interesting. 🙂 I’ve always been pretty interested in running my own web hosting company, but I’d much rather let the more professional people do it instead. I’d probably screw over a client and get yelled at. 🙂 Hosting is probably best left to Holdfire.
Gosh, those classes sound great! Hope they go well 🙂
Oooh, sounds like those classes will be great. I know what you mean about talkative teachers mind, my French teacher last year wasted so much time talking about nonsense, it got really frustrating. Hope you enjoy the rest of them 🙂
