Nope, still not dead.
Hi, again, everybody! Didya miss
me?
Yeah, I didn't think
so.
So, what's new in my happy little
world since I last shouted into the
ether?
Well, I'm finishing up my 3rd
semester of MCC.
Financial Accounting:
Required for the business track for my Computer Science major*. We have to do
everything by hand. A ClueStick for you, Mrs. Leslie Kruser: nobody is going
to be doing their accounting by candlelight when the power is out. We tend to
do these things on computers now. I understand that we have to know how it all
works, but why not at least teach us the basics of a computer accounting system?
It's not like the class isn't held in a computer lab with Quicken and Peachtree
Accounting loaded on all of the
machines.
Computer Science I: OK,
strange story time. I started off in this class, which was 12:00 - 2:20 on
Mondays and Wednesdays. Save for the Chinese teacher's accent, I was doing OK.
Then, out of the blue, she announces that she's leaving the class, because she's
gotten a better job. (A "real programming job", apparently.) The head of the
department says that he's found a new teacher for the class, but there's a
timing conflict and the class will have to be moved one hour later (1:00-3:20).
OK, fine, but.....
I have my Music
Appreciation class at
2:30.
Problem!
So
with this new teacher who, I believe, isn't teaching us as well, I have to leave
an hour early to not miss the other class. A wonderful screw-job all around.
Then the head of the department says that he's going to make sure the II class
runs to make sure everyone who misses out on this class gets to do the next one.
Right. Sorry, Bob, no deal.
Music
Appreciation: Pretty cool, actually. I do have trouble hearing the differences
between some of the composers and periods, but I'll pass it and get my remaining
Fine Arts credit, which is what I took it
for.
College Algebra: Easy. I usually
do the homework in class while she's
talking.
Plus, in my (now extended)
lunch period, I like to hang out in MCC's "Belly of The Whale" student lounge.
(More on that in another post) Lots of cool people there. Maybe you'll see some
of their faces in one of my upcoming posts.
