Day One? Check!

It finally arrived! I made it to (and through) my first day of school! Yesterday morning, after getting up, I hopped online and checked out my classes. In the thirty or so minutes I spent looking through things, I came to the conclusion that I have three very different professors. I also ran over to the bookstore to pick up my ENG 121 STUPID CUSTOM textbook. Never, never again will I go to campus on the first day of classes. That was insane.

My ENG 121 professor and I are going to do very well. She has posted the syllabus, schedule, a couple of resources that we need and told us to expect postings due Wednesday, peer review due Thursday and assignments due Sunday. She posted extra information for the first two weeks, but nothing else. There it was... All the information, laid out perfectly, neatly and understandably, so that I might refer to it very easily.

My MAT 099 professor, on the other hand, threw everything at me. She has already posted the ENTIRE semester of assignments and work, but in no resemblance of an order that I have figured out. It took me until this morning to find what is due this week. She's created this pseudo-checklist, but it's so confusing that I'm really not sure how to use it. So frustrating!

I will say that my PSY 101 professor is right down the middle. She's given us the first four weeks, decently organized, but everything is posted twice. I'd get about a quarter of the way through a document and wonder if I'd read it before. Then I finally figured out everything was posted twice. Her "checklist" is a two-page outline that I had to remake into a checklist - but I could at least figure out what was going on.

Oh. And my math book? Yeah. I had it shipped to my ex-mother-in-law's house. *facepalm* I swear that I changed the shipping address to the store, but I either didn't hit submit or it glitched or something... This can of worms should be interesting. Lesson 1: Always, always, always double check your shipping address. Always.
