End of the first week of college.
I thought it’d be nice to let everyone [whatever] know how it went.
Um, first class was Sensation and Perception. Thankfully the professor who was teaching this class until now no longer teaches this course – hooray – she truly sucked. The one who took over is better because at least the students know what she wants in the exam.
Second class, Cognitive Psychology, with my favorite professor was of course great but it’s going to be a bitch. It’s the second course in line that in fact is all about neuroscience

. At least a noteworthy professor is teaching it.
Third is an elective from the Communication’s major which I might take want to double-major in, which is “Intro to Speech Communications”. It seems easy, the professor seems ok, but my classmates are mostly plainly stupid. I don’t like saying this, but they left me no choice. Other than that there is a presentation and it may be ok to go through this for an elective but I am reconsidering the idea of double-majoring in Communications as I don’t believe it suits me or interests me in any manner.
The class after this is “Psychoanalysis, Humanism, and Behaviorism’ which is boring as the professor’s tone of voice seriously puts me to sleep… This class will be the hardest to put up with it seems. Actually Thursday is going to be the worst day of the week for me. First I have a class that is not in my line of study with idiots in class [with the professor having to repeat half the material two to three times!] and then with less than a ten minute break I have to take another 3 hours of class, this time with a professor that has made it her life goal to make people go to sleep.
Fifth class is finally something easy- Drawing and Design- as an elective. This is the class I just returned from. It will be interesting… I just hope I don’t get fed up with it coz I was never too good with the whole idea of having to draw once a week on a particular day and hour. Inspiration doesn’t come with a program. We shall see.
So from the 5 courses I am slightly negative on the two [ironically not the difficult ones] which is good. The difficult ones are ‘sensation and perception’ and ‘cognitive psychology’ but the good thing is that both professors are clear on what they need in the exams so with a lot of studying I’ll be ok. The Thursday courses are intermediate level in my opinion so far but I don’t perform too well with professors that give me a bad impression or in classes that frustrate me. The Drawing and Design class is cool. I don’t consider it a lesson but a kind of hobby-class and God forbid it may get in the way of my other courses coz you’ll see me cursing art. The professor seems easy going and I think I made a good first-impression. Other than that learning to draw faces and do proper shading has been a goal of mine…
There is a chance I may volunteer at a juvenile prison, or, to start with easier tasks, a children’s home where I’ll be teaching English. There is also a good possibility that if I don’t get lazy I may work on a research within college grounds, and if I get lucky also on a research on violence in schools – which will be amazing!!!
Other than that psychologically I am a little better, I don’t know why and how but I hope it lasts. I just have become a little more peaceful, with less and less negative thoughts intruding in my daily life and having power over me, and I wish to stick with this sense of emptiness and serenity.
