The First Day Jitters

Today I started my new class and had all the feelings that go along with that.  I was nervous, excited, scared, and shy.  You don't know what you are getting into, will the class be an easy A? will it be a hard time-intensive class?  You just don't know.   However, I am never as nervous when I know someone in the class.  That at least ensures me that I am in the right room (yes that is something I have to worry about since I once sat in on an entomology class which was suppose to be animal physiology).

Summer classes are a different beast all together.  They are smaller, more flexible and move four times as fast.  Yet most of the professors take into account it is summer, the weather is nice, and no one is realistically going to read the 200 pages in one night.  Normally they just scale back the reading, cover more in their power points, give tests every week.  However, it is always interesting that professors think that summer classes need to be a test period for the regular semester classes.  This can be a good thing or ruin the summer for the students taking the course.  

The teacher has you do some interactive fun easy group project which is good while you are working on it.  The problem comes when they decide to test you over what "you should have learned from doing the project."  Now the test is more like a gamble.  Oh well things have worked out for me this far and I have learned something from all those interesting projects. 

Tomorrow I meet with my debate group to build our argument against the given statement that junk food shouldn't be allowed in elemetary schools.  If you have any reasons let me know!
