New Semester Begins!

Oh. My. God.

This semester is a bit rough because of a two reasons:

-Honors level courses are ridiculously hard.
-I have not taken a math course in 12 years.

Macroeconomics...I guess it's a culture shock. I'm the oldest person in the class, definitely have fewer math classes than the others have, and the teacher essentially told us to help each other because he won't.

Intro to Information Systems...The teacher does not seem as comfortable with the computer as other students are, but he does have some skills. Problem is he's trying to make more jokes than teach.

Principles of Marketing---Three hour Friday morning class. The professor openly admits the subject is not her expertise. She is trying to be funny but is sadly so far removed from the times. She reminds me of a borscht belt comedianne with a Ph. D. in Organizational something.

This is honestly the first time I've experienced a semester like this where I'm not too certain about my course load or the quality of the professor leading the courses. All three are looking gloomy. It also really hurts because I'm not in my ASL class and learning the language I love dearly...and Carole was teaching it, which makes me really want to take the course. Rachel is in it with Tamika, but they both were spooked a bit by the skill of the others in the class.

Let's hope for the best. I want to keep the streak running, so here's hoping!
