Collegification

so today marks the end of my first day of college, it was what i expected in most ways and in some ways it wasn't, but i'll get to that in a bit. first of all i wanna gripe about the distance i have to walk in order to get there. Sure im not exactly the most althletic or healthy person on the planet, my ideal day involves eating pizza and playing video games, not travelling long distances, but walking 2.2 miles, 4.4 in total each day is a little annoying, but i digress.

Classical Civ was pretty interesting, the guy we have for it is called Ivan Barisnikov, so i was half expecting an ex-KGB type of guy with a harsh Russian accent and possibly a bit of an alcohol problem. But no we instead have a middle aged balding man from London with a wierd combo accent and a Hello Kitty obsession, so good times. People in the group seem decent enough and i have a friend from my previous school, which i wasn't expecting, so i have high hopes for the group and out of my three lessons i had today, it was my favourite.

Philosophy on the other hand wasn't as good as i was expecting, the room was quite hot and stuffy as well as the fact that i left the room with a minor headache (wether thats to do with the room or just the fact that doing Philosophy or reading it gives me a headache i'm not sure) Sure there was a bit of eye candy floating around in the lesson and the people we intelligent, but our teacher had one of the most boring voices imaginable and didn't really endear me to the subject and he seemed to lack any real enjoyment and enthusiasm for the subject. I will however, stick it out and see what happens.

Finally Physics was a bit of a surreal experiane for me at least, because i sit next to a guy in it called Carl that i swear i know from somwhere, but i didn't get a chance to quiz him on where he had come from or where he had been a school before, so i'll try and find out if i used to know him or not. There was a girl in that class that was quite well endowed, that i swear i know from somewhere as well, but i didn't make conversation with her and probably never will, a shame but there you go. Apart from that the lesson was pretty standerd fair i guess, tho im not quite sure what imaging has to do with physics exactly, but its been ok so far and hopefully won't get too number heavy.

So overall my first day wasn't too bad, while i would have liked more people in my classes that i knew, these new faces will hopefully endear me to make new friends and spread my pathetic little wings a little. I'll do another one of these on Wednesday and Friday i think as a kind of week update thing for this week at least and then maybe continue, but im not sure yet.
