is catastrophe spelled with 1 "fuck you" or 2?
happy first day of school to me! so far i've only had 1 class which went fine, and there are even a couple people i like in it. bonus points.
but the big story, as hypothesized, is the parking, or complete lack thereof. i'm currently waiting for my second class of 3 today. for both of these first 2 i left my apartment an hour before class (it's only a 10 min drive) and there hasnt been any parking anywhere. both times i've had to play create-a-spot on the grass. i'm more than happy to do this, but the day i get a ticket or towed is the day the shit hits the fan. they promised us "more than enough" parking, and there's not even close to enough. not even close.
the other huge disappointment is this "remodeled" building. ok, it's kind of remodeled. as in they installed tables and chairs. but there are even fewer outlets for laptops here than there were at the old school building, and trust me, that says a lot.
classwise, i've just had the one so far and it seemed ok. even if it is somewhat of an advanced civil procedure class (shudder). i think it'll be ok. the professor has some weird quirks (rejecting clinic applicants via mass email, calling on people by describing their clothing), but overall seems like she's pretty nice and laid back.
ok, time for my first experience in distance learning. this should be classic.
UPDATE: well, distance learning is not so practical. the professor was pissed cuz he couldnt see the entire class (and i hate to tell him, i dont know how they'll work that one out). we could hear him ok, but not a thing the students at the new campus said.
parking is still a disaster. seriously, get me a handicapped pass. there were several open spots right by the door. crippled bastards.
