The first day of school went really well (yay!). Other than being a couple of minutes late to my first class – I had forgotten how big this campus is – I think I’m really going to like Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Computer Architecture and Assembly Language – I thought this class would be just programming really useless stuff, but it seems as though I’ll be learning some valuable info about how the computer actually works. It sounds like it’ll be a fun class, and the professor is very nice and a little bit funny.
Technology and Society – I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one (the reqired reading includes Frankenstein), but it sounds like it’ll be a good class, too. We’re going to start out by discussing 9-11 and how it affected Americans’ historical standpoints, and then we’ll go into how technology of all kinds have affected society. I’ve only taken classes about hardcore technology, so seeing a more general definition should be very interesting. The professor’s unique sense of humor reminds me of Mr. Hills from HA in a way, and I really like it.
Social Pscyhology – I’m gonna love this class. It’s the same professor (Dr. Alexander) from last year’s Psych 100, and it’s her specialization. It sounds like it will cover all the stuff I love – we even did a little experiment with Hindsight Bias that proved we have a lot to learn in the class. 🙂 Sometime I have to look up the majors in which there are the most females and most males; both my psych classes have had a lot of girls, and I notice since most of my CS-type classes mostly have guys only.
I think I’ll really love these kinds of days, even if I go straight from 9:30 to 1:45. I can’t wait for my one-class Friday.
It’s really weird up here in a couple of ways. Since I’m right across the hall from where I was last year, everything seems kind of backwards, but I’m getting used to it. Also, I feel kind of the same way as I did right after September 11; I guess that’s what happens when I basically started out last year that way. I hope that feeling will go down sometime. It’s also kind of strange to come in after all the first-years have already settled in over the weekend. I pretty much had to go right to the classes after I got here.
Now I’m off to supper. I’m kind of hungry.
