If anyone was wondering what the significance of the first blog post being titled, "In the Beginning, there was Genesis," well, wait no further. The three classes that I am taking are as follows:
1) Old Testament History
2) Business Ethics
3) University Life
My class load is considered full time because they are 8-week, accelerated courses. My three classes all fall on Monday, here is what my schedule looks like:
10 am to 12 pm---Old Testament History
5:30 pm to 10 pm--- Business Ethics AND University Life.
Yes, you read correctly, I have two classes at the SAME time. I have devised a plan to clone myself and be in two places at once. Here is how it went down this past Monday.
Old Testament History, started promptly at 10 am. Professor introduced himself and we looked around the room to see who was taking the course with us. I was identified as the only female in class....sigh....so I got all the "Eve eating from the forbidden fruit" comments directed towards me, but not to worry, I was enlightened that it was actually Adam's fault, because God had told him not to partake of the fruit, and it was Adam's job to convey the message to Eve, and well, we definitely see what bad communication skills Adam had. Some class reading was assigned, and I was told that by the following afternoon (Tuesday), I could look at the blackboard to find the questions I would be answering, based on the reading. Wow, they sure do things differently these days, back in my day, they put things on the blackboard during class, you copied it down in class so you could take it home with you. Later, I relayed this information to one of my kids (they are all very bright) and she said, "MOM, they mean an on-line system, called, "Blackboard."" So, after gaining access to the University's web of confusion, I mean website, I was able to set up a blackboard profile where I can now turn in homework and post discussions that will be read by my fellow students. You would think that since this system is called "blackboard," when you write something it would be called "chalk," but it's not, it is called, "thread." I don't get it......
Well, that class ended promptly at noon, and I had 5 1/2 hours to come home and tell hubby all about my one class. My first day of class. Who the professor was, what he did for a living when he wasn't teaching (pastor on Pearl Harbor Naval Base) what the people in my class looked like, what I thought they did when they weren't in the classroom based on what they said in class, and what they looked like, epic fail when they asked if anyone was active duty military, the two clean shaven men did not raise their hand, but the guy with a full grown beard raised his hand, so now I am wondering if he is working as a special agent????? Hubby got a glazed look in his eye and went to take a nap, I was left to my own devices.
5:30 rolled around and it was time to be a clone. Show up in two different classrooms. Yep, that was my mission. I struggled with gravity, I tried to go to the future and have two each of me come back to the same time, but the laws of physics weren't working for me that day, note to self: Take Physics!
So, off to University Life I went. Yep, it sounded like the funner of the two classes, and besides, I had already arranged to go into the future (July 11th) and attend the first Business Ethics class of the semester, maybe this time travel thing would work after all! ( I will explain later, for those interested in time travel)
University Life was very informative, I found out how to create a university email, I got my student ID, and heard all about blackboard....(should have had this class first). Took a quiz to find out what kind of learner I am and I discovered I was auditory tactile learner. We were out of class by 7:30 pm, not bad for a first day!
Thanks for tuning in, next up, homework, to do or not to do, or when to do?
