Inventory

One aspect of school that is a lot better than I expected is the homework load. Coming here everyone was like, "oh you're going to have so much homework, you're taking way too many credits, blah blah blah," but I haven't had too much. Part of this may be due to the fact that I'm taking dance classes that I never have homework for, but even if I don't count the dance classes I haven't had as much homework as I anticipated. Now this may change after I take my first test in all my classes and realize I should be spending more time on homework, but for now my workload is fairly decent.

Something harder than I anticpated is the expectations of some of my teachers. Some of my classes are really hard, and it's not just that we have a lot of homework or anything, it's just that there are some hard concepts to understand or like the teacher's expect us to know things that we haven't been taught. This isn't in all of my classes though, just a couple of them. Overall it hasn't been bad, but there are always a couple classes that are just killer. It's the way the world works.

If I could change one thing it would be my schedule. Every day except for Tuesday I have these random breaks between classes and it's really annoying. It's not long enought that it's really worth it to drive home, but it's long enough that I run out of things to do. I'll bring a textbook or something and read for a while, but I usually finish my reading before my next class starts and then I feel like I'm just wasting time, but there's not really anything for me to do.
