Family Participation in the Classroom...

I had my 4th class today. The prof was actually in New York (for some reason), so her TAs came to the class, passed out the syllabus and told us a little about the class, what we'll be doing, and what will be expected of us...fun fun. I'm not really sure about this class, and I think it's mostly because the actual teacher wasn't there today to tell us about it. I've had her before, so I kinda know what to expect, but this class seems like it's going to be a lot of work. It seems like I have several of those this quarter...great!

I had a really big blonde moment today. I got an e-mail from one of my instructors the other day telling us (me and my classmates) that we needed to go ahead and read the 1st chapter before the 1st day of class because we have a lot to cover and only meet 1 day a week. So, I brought my book to work today, hoping that I could get 1 chapter read. When I was at work, I discovered that said chapter was 40 pages long. I only freaked out about that a little... But, as the day progressed, we kept getting a bunch of people in the office needing help or calling on the phones or whatever. So, I didn't get much done.

By 4:00, I pretty much gave up. I was talking to one of my co-workers who, I found out, was in my class that night. And she was freaking out because she hadn't gotten said e-mail and the class wasn't on her Carmen page (as I thought my class was), and so on. Come to find out, I brought my books and was reading for my class tomorrow. So, I was freaked out about nothing. The only bad thing was that I left the actual books for my class today at home. But, it turned out that we didn't really need them today, anyways, so I guess it worked out.

I just couldn't believe what I'd done. And I managed to freak my co-worker out because she thought that she was missing all of this stuff and that she wasn't getting the e-mails and wasn't on Carmen...that was fun. But, I don't really care much about that because I'm not exactly the fondest of her (she's the 1 they hired when they thought they were replacing me Fall quarter) because she's got an attitude and she thinks she knows everything (even after she had only been there a few weeks). But whatever. That's not the topic of this blog.

So, I hope that I remember to bring the right books tomorrow and that I get all of the reading done. I've only got about 15 more pages to do, which shouldn't take me that long. And class isn't until 1, so I'll have some time later tomorrow morning, after I wake up, of course. ;p

Oh, on an exciting side note: I got my new phone in the mail today! It's a "Motorazr" (which is basically just a Razr, but I think it's Alltell's version of it), and it's red ("fire" is the color name, I believe). But, I spent about 20 minutes sending my phone pics to my e-mail after my brother showed me how so that I didn't lose all of my pics when I transferred over to the new phone. Now all I have to do is transfer over my contacts once Mom finishes activating the phone. Yay! :)
