So, a lot has happened since the last time I set foot on this screen and decided to type stuff - most of them college related...actually all of this will be school related.

Towson is an interesting place. After two weeks I still don't even know if I like the place or not. The first week I would have told you I hated the place - my schedule was absolutely screwy, my teachers were not helpful and the campus was much larger and more unfamiliar than a Sasquatch. The second week, I've hammered out a decent schedule, still stuck with some bad teachers (but not all), and basically got all my walking paths to where I need to be logged into my being. With all that said, I just don't know what to say about the place. I mean, I love to learn but in the past two weeks out of all four of my classes, I've only learned a handful of things - Especially in Chemistry and Logic.

The Chem teacher hasn't said anything that I haven't learned in every single science course I've ever taken - unit measurements, conversion, significant figures etc.- and I never took a chemistry class ever. It doesn't help that she is a bit scatter brained and has a thick accent. That worries me when we actually do move onto new things. Also, we had a conversion assignment due yesterday that I almost literally went to class to turn in (I really didn't feel like driving down there) and come to find out she said in class that you could turn in the assignment in next week on Monday for no penalty! What the hell?! Why'd I even do it? God forbid I see a due date as a due date. Logic is a great class and I love the teacher (he also has a thick accent) because he is good at explaining and giving helpful examples but there's a problem with his assignments. He assigns reading and parts of exercises for 1 piece of a chapter (i.e, Chapter 1.2) and the next class he talks all about that and re-assigns the same reading because some people in the class didn't read it. It's a nice gesture but I just don't understand why these retards get the baby treatment (I think they are freshman) while I have to sit in a static position regarding the course material.

Other than those, I have an online Women in Perspective class that is rather interesting. The teacher seems really nice and cool and we can see her actual classes because she records them and posts them online. I've learned a few things in this class but I would venture to say that there is a slight "men ruined this so put that as an answer" bias, as I would think in any woman's study course. Statistics is interesting too. I got the material down pretty good but the teacher is so anal-retentive that it makes the actual class harder than it needs to be. Our homework assignments have to be done by hand on printer paper that is hole punched to fit into a cheap prong-type folder and scanned into the computer and put in order on a Word document. Then that document is put on a flash drive and taped into the notebook with all the paper divided by section with a comprehensive table of contents. Not difficult at all but very time consuming and, as some of my classmates have said, they are having trouble with the material and instead of working on that they use all their time to set up the notebook. I think I'm alright with it for now though but who knows when the material gets harder.

Socially, it's a mixed bag. My statistics class is by far the most comfortable of all my classes. It's in a nice computer lab and the teacher sort of allows for free communication among the students so I talk to basically my whole side of the class room. The other side isn't very talkative - weird how that worked out. My chemistry lecture is alright because I can talk to people around me but it's far too large to have any real talks. Lab is cool, I converse with all the groups around me and that way we help each other out, etc. But there was this one guy who high schooled it up by asking my partner and I to print out 4 copies instead 2 copies of the graph we were making so that he and his partner could leave earlier. I lol'd and didn't do it. Seriously, cut that shit out. There's no communication in the online course...lol. Logic is by far the worst though. There is no one in that class to talk to because it's almost all freshman and all of them are "way to cool for school" lol. So, I sit in the front and stare straight forward all the time.

That's about all I can think of right now.  I got a "perfect" copy of the Bhagavad-Gita from some guy for like $5. It has the original Sanskrit and then the English purports and translation. Neat thing really. Also, this happened (you may have already seen this on a status update via FB but still, it bears repeating):

Towson has a really stellar recycle program. They have found ways to recycle paper cups and Styrofoam plates and eve- oh wait...that's trash. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. After the first person saw trash I guess everyone did and decided to continue it. Who knows. I'm tired of typing now so, I'll do this another time.

Cya.
