The Spring semester has started and it seems to be off to a good start. One difference I have noticed is that my classes are a lot more full now, especially since I am not enrolled in “freshmen” only courses. I also have more lecture style classes, which seem to be okay for the most part but I will have to give it more time before I can really tell if it will be a challenge for me.
Where I messed up last semester was that even within the first week I could tell some of my classes were not going to work out, but instead of dropping them or withdrawing before the midpoint I “stuck it out”. And by doing that I “failed“.. terribly! So when I went to my 9:30 class this morning and realized that for the simple fact that this is the only class I have for the day and the teacher was exactly THIRTY minutes late, I had to drop it.
Instead I have moved that class to 9:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and have Tuesdays and Thursdays completely off. Not a bad trade off. I just hope that when I go to class tomorrow I didn’t do what they call “out of the pan and into the fire..”.
