1st day of college

On my way to my first class Tuesday night, I was desiring to add the class, didn't want to take the online version and I was not sure if i would get in because it was very full. At first I thought I was in the wrong class. Great way to start out feeling confident. So I sat in the back, not like me at all. Next week I will sit closer to the smart seeming student up front. I was in the right class and it was confirmed because I asked someone who could be my daughter.

To start out, the professor asked who did not have a cell phone. No one raised there hand. Then he asked, who does not have their cell phone with them, no one raised there hand again. Then he proceeded to tell us only use our phones outside, wow, i think cell phones are our security blankets, can't leave home without them. Are we addicted to texting?

Considering this is a GE class, there were only 2 adults, and by this i mean, people old, like me. The rest were all under 21 i think. One passed my desk and pushed my notebook over so he could get through without saying excuse me. Oh, these kids, what are we going to do with them?

With this class being in OC, i expected to be one of the only caucasians and I was right. Some had only been in America for one year. I find this exciting actually. People different then little old white me, i felt like the minority. That's okay, more for me to learn from them. The first 3 names on the role sheet couldn't be pronounced by the professor. And there were girls named Andy and Brady. Diversity at its best.

Took notes the old fashioned way, next week i am bringing my computer and ironically, only one student brought their computer. I bet they all have them at home for facebook though.
