Dropped outta school so i could stay a fresh man

School started yesterday. and as of now, ive got a taste of all my teachers, and what to expect. Full schedule, 12 units, 4 classes. MW - Black Hist & ENG 110. TTH - COMM 122 & MATH 103.


Black Hist- "youre like the black grandpa i never had". highlight of the class. that was a statement by a white boy. he had the class rolling. this class should be fun and interesting, as they never teach history from the black perspective. also, my proffesor doesnt like to give test, because he doesnt like to grade them. but we will have exams, that will be open note, and a research paper due at the end of the semester. his name is Dr. Stevens, and he swears hes 93 years old. ha ha, hes not tho. also, he was in the local newspaper last sunday, not sure what for however. he just passed the article around the class. i didnt get a chance to look at it. just saw the picture.

ENG 110- my teacher is gay. and when i say gay, i mean GAY. he told us, "for those of you who havent noticed by now, im gay; and if you have a problem with that, then i suggest you leave now, and drop my class. im not going to hide the way i am for you for a whole semester, this is how i am so deal with it." (fag voice) it was hard for me not to laugh. then he had us write a 5 paragraph paper. it was a story that took place in california, and kept along the lines of one genre. looks like this class is going to be alot of writting. im not tripping though. id rather write than read.

COMM 122- public speaking. piece of cake. 5 speaches and 3 outlines make up your overall grade. if you know me, then you know i dont mind speaking my mind, or in front of people. there is hardly any writting in this class. i like her break down, and participation is a big portion of this grade. so ill speak my mind fosho.

MATH 103- this teacher is chill too. 10 quizzes, 3 test, one final, and HW make up this grade. Final is 25%, 3 test make up 55%.then hw and quizzes are both 10%. the quizzes are take home,so theres no way you can "cheat". you can only cheat yourself. the test will have problems from the quizzes, and the final will take problems from the test. shes not here to fail us, and wants to make sure we succed. also. if you get 100% on all test and do all the HW you "should" do good on your test and final. BUT if you happen to just find a study partner to do hw and quizzes with, in reality you can get a 65% on all test and final, and still get a C in the class. NOT what im looking to do, but it makes sense.

basicly this time around im going to make sure i stay in school. especially since im getting paid to learn. its going all in my pocket. i figure ill go to class everyday, do the class and homework, and soak up what i can while im in class, and ill do fine. thats half the battle is just coming to class. basicly how i got through highschool.
