First Day of Classes at a New School

So that's the last time I'll ever be saying that... Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a 10am, a 2pm, and a 4pm aka I go from winter break to studying in zero to 60. First of all, classes here are four hours each week instead of three hours each week at Ramapo. I am now missing that five-hour experiencial Ramapo College has to keep our classes short.

Anyway, classes here are a lot different than at school in other ways. Half way through my first class, I ended up outside with my eyes closed quacking in front of the international office (the only office I know well on campus). My Thai professor has a very interactive teaching style that I hope is not exhausted by day two.

My professor for Introduction to Cultural Anthropology is from Mexico and decided it was too hot in our classroom, so we had class outside in the beautiful 65 degree sun.

My third professor (for Reporting) is first generation Columbian. I ended up meeting another friend, and it was kind of a normal class.

This Tuesday built me up to break me down. I found out that there is a great chance that I can stay here not just for the semester but for the fall semester as well! This was crazy news for me because nothing is really holding me back from staying. Ramapo College has gotten lame. All of my closest friends have graduated (almost). There are a lot of points that are holding me back from doing field hockey, especially since I played for 10 years and had a rough last season but ended with championship game being named one of the players of the game by coach, so good note. Honestly, this campus is pretty much Ramapo plus a beach, minus snow. It is spread over more land and full of different nature. It is nicer weather, more modern style and a whole campus of new people to befriend. Watching the 49ers lose while wearing a Giants jersey was not the easiest way to make friends though... I got flipped off at the cafeteria after the game but the guy behind me said to wear the jersey proud as he was from Jersey.

I fear that this blog won't be as exciting as my Freehold to Florence, since I won't be visiting crazy far away places that encompass a completely different culture, but I promise to keep things interesting.

Over and out.
