First day of classes
When I look at the freshman walking around--and they're really easy to spot, they're the ones that look confused as hell--I can't help but be intimidated. They look so old, but yet, they're freshman. I remember my freshman year, I looked at my classmates and I went, wow, everyone looks so old, I guess I look old now too. But four years later, they still look so old, and they're all younger then me.
I wonder then, do they look at me and go, wow, he must be an upperclassman, he looks so old. So really, it would be me looking at them looking at me and both of us think each other as old. Except, they're right and i'm just retarded. That's kind of depressing.
My first class of this term was Japanese 102. It is pretty much picking up exactly where it left off last term. I am in the same classroom with the same teacher and the same timeslot with 2 out of my 3 classmates from last term. Sure, there's a couple extra people now, but i imagine that my two classmates, like me, are pretending the new kids aren't there. We definately are joking around in class and being playful with each other and the teacher while the new guys are just sitting there. I think they're intimidated by the friendly atmosphere. Hopefully they'll loosen up when they become more comfortable with us.
My second class was my first night class. I dropped the class during spring, and let me tell you, it's way easier now that I understand Java (and have gone through some other courses). But I sat in class looking at everyone else. I kept seeing dorkier versions of my friends. Everyone looked like someone I knew... except, dorkier. I don't know how else to describe it.
Surprisingly, there is a few girls in the class. None of them are ugly by my standards and for them to be in the course means that they're definately comp sci majors. It's not a course that you take as an elective (It's a class that would make you want to kill yourself), so that's my only conclusion. So i'm a little impressed right now by them being there.
We'll see if tomorrow will be as interesting.
