First Class

Had my first day of classes today, although it was only comprised of one class, right at the end of the day.  Nice way of weaning me into this way of life, I guess.  I went three hours early and found my class, and then found all my classes for the next day.  Wasn't as hard as I'd thought it would be.  The school's layout was kind of baffling at orientation,and I couldn't find any of my classes.  This time around, I found them all inside an hour, ran into someone I met at orientation, and spent the rest of the day chatting until it was time for class.

My class was math.  Apparently having a math class for this program is a new thing, and it's getting people nervous.  Those in our field are not known for being good at math.  What was presented to us today was clownishly easy, though.  We also don't get any fieldwork, which used to be a part of this program.  Since having a letter of recommendation from someone in the social services is a requirement for the SSW program, a lot of people were hoping to get that through fieldwork during the program I'm doing now.  I guess this program used to be better than it is now, huh?

Did my first shopping trip.  Found out that I get a 10% discount at the local Zehrs every Tuesday if I show my student card.  I guess organizing the move so that your first available shopping trip would be on a Tuesday wasn't such a dumb move on behalf of the Residence after all.

I found out why it's so cold in my room.  There's a vent blowing in cold air.  Is it supposed to be air conditioning?  For some reason, that angers me more than if it was just a natural occurence.
