  I'm gonna be perfectly honest here and say that college is not a walk in the park.  I'm a freshman going on 9 hrs this semester and next.  I'm all signed up for the spring and I'm just hoping things go as well then as they are now.  I can't imagine doing college full time and working.  To me, that's just suicidal.  Another thing to note is that all my classes are currently online classes, and I'm not ashamed.

  I guess I would like college more if I really knew what I wanted to do with my life.  I mean I have a few subjects that I like and I want to go into a career involving them.  Which career in particular?  No clue.  I really envy people who just know exactly what they want and pursue it.

  But enough whining, here are my current classes.  In a later blog I'll discuss my spring classes.  

  This semester I'm taking,
  English Composition 1:  Basically this class is more of a pain than anything.  Pretty much every single thing in this class is a giant inconvenience.  I understand college as a whole is an inconvenience; but this class takes it to a new level.  Now don't get me wrong, the required reading was good (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass).  But pretty much everything assigned in the class makes me hate it.  I'm not the constant paper writing type.

  General Psychology:  Probably my most interesting class so far.  I took it on because I wanted to, not just because it's a core class.  I'm an introvert, but I think people and the way they think are fascinating.  The textbook is wonderfully interesting and has lots a colorful pictures to hold my attention. haha  Becoming some sort of therapist is definitely a possible future career for me.
 
  Last, but not least, there's
  U.S. History 1:  Also a class I chose out of pure interest.  My teacher is on the picky temperamental side, but I think I know what she looks for so it's not too bad.  I rented the textbook, but I'm afraid I can't return it in its current condition.  It looks like I decided to study while skydiving and had a rough landing.  I'm just gonna pay in full for it instead of handing it back in and embarrassing myself.  You may not be able to tell by the picture below, but the book is pretty beat up.

  
  US History is challenging but in a good way.  I enjoy it, despite how demanding it is, and I grudgingly admit I've learned a lot.  Just observe the pure badassery below.

  That would be some epic whaling on one page, and my distant cousin on the other.  History is great, but my question is, what would I do with a history degree (other than teach) that I could make a living off of?  Maybe museum science or something.

  The last "class" I had to take was two full saturdays of Student Development.  Notice the class did not get the fancy bold print the other ones did.  That's because it's not a real class.  It was pretty much a waste of time.  SAC forces all incoming freshmen to pay for and take it.  I just thank baby Jesus I got it over and done with.

  Each of my real classes are 3 hrs worth and all academic.  I am completely ready for a break and look forward to Christmas with James. ♡
