So I woke up around 730 this morning to pick Caitlin up for 815 to get to school at 9.
I ended up getting stuck in every possible amount of traffic humanly possible, so as a half-asleep Lemon goes driving through town, swearing all the way, she finally gets to Cait's at 825. I was really pissed off lol. And then it took us like..ten minutes to get out of her driveway. =A=;
So we drive up to GCC and I didn't miss the entrance this time, thankfully, and it took us forever to find a place to park to the East building.
So we're walking towards the East building and I hear, "KAAAAAAAAAAATE" and I turn and look to find Helena bounding towards me. We hugged and it turned out that she was in my remedial math course <333 The three of us walked to the class and Cait said that she'd meet me after class to show me where my art classes were going to be.
Helena and I grabbed the last two available seats next to each other and our teacher, Jen, gave us the course syllabus and stuff like that, which she continued to go over for most of the remainder of class. One of the other girls at our table, Alexis, said I looked really familiar, and she had looked familiar to me, as well. She asked me if I went to JFK for middle school and I said yes. "Did you know Danielle Long?" "Yep" "Amanda Fleschig?" "Yep; Lindsay Sanderson and Becca Willard?" "Yeah, I was friends with them" "And Annie too, right?"
Pretty much we'd hung out with the same group of friends and I ended up inadvertantly reuniting with a middle school friend. It was really interesting.
I don't think I'll drop the class now.
Next came Intro to 2-D Design. My teacher is French. He came from someplace south of Paris and was teaching in Quebec to French students, and he has a really thick French accent. He seems a little on the line of nice and not so friendly, so we'll see how it goes.
He dresses really fashionably and clean, he seems like a tidy person, and he just has this air around him that.................well, bluntly, screams gay. When he told us that his wife taught Art History, I was almost taken aback. I KNOW THAT YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO JU
Anyway, not only do I need to spend an absolute fortune on art supplies for his class, he also said to expect up to 8 hours of work to be completed outside of class.
I didn't make any friends today in that class. Most of them are guys, actually, and the girls seemed like those stereotypical art students who act really full of themselves. I guess I'll just have to keep to myself, then, which is fine by me. I've done it plenty of times before. I just don't like awkward feelings in my classes...Who knows, maybe I'll be able to make some after all, but for now I think I'll just work by myself.
Cait and I got our books during our break between 2nd and 3rd period at the school store. THEY HAD FRUIT SNAAAAACKS~ so I bought some. They were grape-y and delicious. Then we went to Taco Bell down the street and for TACOSSSSSSSS and it was a nice lunch that we ended up having to eat after Color.
Which actually leads into Color. The class is four hours long, but I discovered that it's only for half a semester, as well. Color will end on October 29th, while my other classes end on December 23rd, I believeeee. Cait is in my class though, so it should be bearable, regardless of the length of class. Oh, and Color is also expected to have up to 8 hours of work to be completed at home. That PLUS my 8 hours of work for 2-D art?
UMMMM, HI, I CAN'T WORK AND SPEND 16 HOURS ON ART AT THE SAME TIME. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PROFESSORS DON'T ACCEPT LATE ASSIGNMENTS. I know I can't get special treatment, but oh my god. Sixteen hours? I barely spent any more than an hour on anything I ever did at the high school. I know, I know, college is different and when you're in college you barely sleep, but I can't work and do that much homework at the same time.
So that means that I'm going to have to talk to Dave tomorrow and see if he can set me up for weekends and Monday holidays only, until Color ends at least, because I won't be able to handle the workload and school has to come first, no buts about it.
If I have to find a different job that can give me that flexibility, then I'll have to do it. I like working a lax job like I have at Rite Aid, but I can't work 25+ hours a week and have so much homework. I don't think my body could be able to handle late nights like that, especially with my immune system, and my English class hasn't even STARTED yet, so who knows how much more time that'll tack on. Math already is another 30mins to 3 hours. >_>;
I haven't been able to talk to Mattie for a few days now, because I've been running myself absolutely ragged and I've had no time to myself. I feel bad. Kur called her on the phone when I got home this afternoon (Color went from 1-2 today, since it was introductory) and she voiceclipped her. "Hi baby, I love you, don't stress yourself out too much," or something like that.
Mhhhsdffgdfhg...I hate being too busy to be able to talk to my own girlfriend. It's retarded. My schedule is too hectic...I really need to find a solution to this.
I feel like crying and it's only been my first day. Hopefully things will get better...
On a lighter note, I've finally begun to write Meeting Again into fic form. Does anyone want to beta for me? I'd really appreciate it.
I'm not that good of a writer, so I want to improve by writing this. I'd really love someone to help me out, since Kaze will probably refuse to read any of the 411 parts of it. 8I
