First day of College
Well my first day was mostly uneventful. I managed to log into both courses, and made my introductions on the forums. It seems that the forums take the place of class discussions. I think I actually like that better. Time to forumlate your ideas and responses instead of being called on and feeling like an idiot only to have the perfect words come into your mind AFTER you leave the classroom.
So I've said hello and I've read the online stuff I can. I should have my two text books by tomorrow, so I can do that heavy reading. 3 chapters for Psychology & 1 for Government. Fun classes to start with by the way.. I'm actually pretty thrilled bout it. Got a jumpstart on my assignments and hopefully won't have to change them too much more.
Put in for another job I found in the paper, this one a data entry position. That would be MUCH better than this phone job. I'm starting to regret going for it before I ever DO it!! I've been training on this Office Depot stuff, and man let me tell you, its horrible. Not only are the graphics childish, but it plays the most annoying sounds that are 10x louder than the rest of the presenation and they JUMP out at you, killing your eardrums. Also, since I have yet to take an actual phone call, I don't know what I'm supposed to really be focusing on. It all is a jumble and I do well enough to pass the little 'quizes' at the end, but who knows what sort of retention I'm having. Although, I did go to the store to buy a new pen, and I knew the difference between rollerball and ball point!!
Got another house to go see, this one is a brand new listing and hopefully we'll see it tomorrow. Other than that, not mentioning anything. Getting the clue that this isn't going to be easy and we'll just have to see how it all goes.
Oh, and the craziest thing today. Took the kids in for optomitrist appointments at Walmart. Good news, Kat & Vin didn't get that much worse in their eyesight, Megan is still perfect, and though I'm just barely farsighted, doc thinks it'll be a few years till I need glasses (hopefully alot longer than that!) The neat part was, we picked up a couple things, got in line.. the kids tried to get me to move lanes, I resisted. Then I look at the girl in the lane running the register.. I KNOW I knew her from somewhere. I couldn't place it. Saw her nametag, still didn't ring a bell. When I got up there, I finally said... "I know you from somewhere.." She says, "Yeah, i was thinking the same thing." "Conneticut?" I'm like oh shit.. and bam.. we'd worked together for a year or so in CT at my data entry job there. It was crazy! Of all the luck to run into someone that far away..
The world is really small sometimes.
