School: Week One

I completely forgot to set up an appointment with a counsellor. My grand transfer plans are already off to a terrific start. School should be kind of okay this semester. (I'll be able to better judge that next week when my Spanish II class starts up.) One of my classmates from Public Speaking is in Journalism, so it's been fun to catch up with that person again.

Cultural Anthropology might be a interesting class, but it might also be a little boring at 9:30. I am a little sad because the teacher pointed out that Anthropology is a science, howbeit the most "humane" of the bunch. (And by extension, it is the most scientific of the humanities.) I do not like some classes being called science classes. Child Psychology was a social studies class, not a science class. General Psychology was a social studies class, not a science class. Biology 101? THAT's a science class. I don't care what thousands of respected anthropologists may say, cultural anthropology is a humanity and only a humanity.

Is it right if my Moral Choices class cheats me out of my money by getting out an hour and a half early? I think so, because I get to go home sooner. (It was the first week anyways and we'd gone through the main points of the chapter.)

The Collegiate office, the student newspaper, has a coffee maker, mini-fridge and a microwave in it. The students can also get into the classroom to work on the computers to work on their stories at anytime. (There are about nine computers in there, all Macs.) It's quite the office!

Finally, GRCC spent the summer renovating the first floor of North Cook Building. It has gone from a dreary, impersonal feel to a very modern, inviting space. It is very "Grand Rapids," with shades of green and orange and stylish glass paneling surrounding classrooms. It looks very impressive, almost as if GRCC wanted to out-do GVSU for stylish-ness. I might snap pictures in the future, because if I describe it as "feeling like a TV set like 24," I'm just not sure it'd really capture what it actually feels like. (I may also be over-selling it a bit.)
