College: FMCC Edition Part IV

Overall I have to say that I am very pleased with my decision to transfer to FMCC...so far anyways.  One thing I've noticed that is different is the professors.  At FM none of my professors are doctors, and none of them seem very arrogant and talk to their students like they are better than them.  In all of my classes the professors told their stories of how they made it to where they are today to show that they can relate to many of us.  They all seem so much more down to earth and like normal people, that wasn't the case at Oneonta at all in my opinion.  At Oneonta almost all of my professors were doctors and almost all of them were very arrogant and cocky.  I also enjoy walking through the hallway and seeing people I went to high school with, its comforting to me.  Not only that, but one of my professors knows my family and used to work with my father.  So I'm definately getting more of a "homey" and comfortable feel at FMCC.  I am very happy to be back in school as well.  I'm in such a better mood and feeling so much better about myself now that I'm getting up every day, getting dressed and doing something.  I really haven't had to do that since early October.  I get a sense of pride from going to school full time and working part time and I just feel so much better in general.  I like all of my classes as well as my professors so far. . .So as I said, I'm pretty happy with my decision and I hope everything continues to go well :)

College: FMCC Edition Part III

Today I had my other 3 classes.  First I had Bar and Beverage Management.  The professor for this class is the only female professor that I have, but I really like her.  She is very bubbly and she seems very happy in her profession.  I'm excited for the class not only because its essentially bartending class, but because she seems like a very fun professor as well.  The next class I had was General Psychology and oh my goodness let me tell you about this professor.  First of all he was about 5 minutes late for the class.  He walks in and he is this short, slightly balding, hardcore hippie wearing a leather Harley Davidson like jacket, a beard, black jeans and circle shaped glasses.  He throws down his jacket and underneath he is wearing a black button up with the top few buttons undone exposing his chest hair.  Without saying much of anything he starts playing this youtube video:



His name is Marty Friedman. . .I don't know about you but when an older gentleman's name is Marty I immediately assume he is a hippie.  He seems pretty cool, but his voice is very monotone and I can see myself falling asleep in his class.  Then for my final class of the day, I had Anatomy and Physiology.  Its a 3 hour night class, luckily I have a very attractive professor who, as soon as I walked in the room said to me, "so what's your name pretty lady."  He looks and reminds me very much of Mr. Schoff <3 He is very interesting and kept my attention for the full 3 hour class.  Best part: The seats recline!! lol  Well, its been another good day at college :)

College: FMCC Edition

So I had my first class today: Intro to Sociology.  I have been very excited about starting school again and so far its been a good day.  I am currently sitting in the Library blogging :P  Well I have to say that FMCC is very different than Oneonta and Canajoharie as well.  My first class went well, but when I looked around at some of the people it was exactly what I expected to see at FM.  Maybe I'm wrong, but the majority of the students all resembled the students I went to high school with that skipped school every other day, had children in high school, and never did their homework.  I can't shake the feeling that FMCC is the college people go to because they're supposed to, not because they actually want to.  I'm trying to stay optimistic, and as I've said everything is going well so far, but I don't know.  It was also interesting because my friend Ashley's mom was also in my Sociology class and we sat next to each other.  I like her mom, but it was a very different experience going to school with my friend's mom haha.  So now I'm sitting in the Library and looking around. . .the Library is stuffed full of Asians.  I have never seen so many in my life.  I do enjoy the diversity because its something I never had in high school, but I find it interesting that they all gravitate to the library.  Thinking of Kelsey right now because she is the only Asian that I really know haha.  Well everything is going well, I'm going to go try to find my next class and go to lunch while I wait.  :)
