Crammed for time

I just got out of my first college course, Writing for Mass Media. It seemed like it wouldn't be too straining but informational. Unfortunately, it is a journalism course which isn't really in the direction I was heading with my current major. (Not to mention I already have plans to change my major) so I am trying to not focus on the fact I spent probably $200 on books for this course only. Sigh.
I would have blogged more my first weekend here in San Angelo, but I haven't because I have a journal now as well. Blame my Aunt B for my cyber absence.

A little about my schedule, it is set up in a very convenient and inconvenient way all the same. I have Writing for Mass Media at 9am. an Hour and 10 minute gap, then History at 11am. ANOTHER hour and ten minute gap, then a class that slips my mind at 1pm. This is the schedule for Mon, Wed, Fri. Tuesday and Thursday I have my first class at 11 and that's all I can remember for that day. I will update you more detailed on that later. The point is that I have these gaps that are just long enough I can't really linger on the class side of the campus and just short enough that it sucks to walk all the way back to my dorm. Sigh. I feel in the future these gaps will be good for doing homework in the library and what not, but as for now when there is no homework to be done... I get much exercise strolling up and down the campus 6 times a day.

Also, for aspiring or upcoming college students, I will address the bike situation. The bike, a handy method of transportation can be very useful. For instance when you have to rush to the library to print something out or rush to your campus job. But, class wise... the bike is evil. All the classes start around the same time, so the 20 minute gap before they start, the sidewalks are crammed with walkers. If you have a bike and are using it at this time... You will probably be rolling behind strolling pedestrians. So, my method will probably be for morning classes just walk. For evening work and lab... take bike. I assume the sidewalks will be cleared by then. Hopefully.

  1. Too bad they dont have a bike path for those who desire to zoom by.

    maybe you should suggest one.

    I am glad you are journaling, even it is isn't broadcasted for all to see. Some thoughts need to be private.

    Love you.
