Summer School...not just a bad 80's movie.


I started summer school this week. At North Hennepin Community College. I can't help but notice how a community college is different from a four year school. There are so many different types of people. You have those who are there because they can't afford a four year school. You have those who don't know what they want to do with their lives. You have those who, like myself, are trying to meet prerequisites to get into another program. You have those who are trying to work, raise a family, and earn a degree. It feels kind of weird going to a school and not being a part of the community. I feel like I have the mentality, "get in and get out". I just need this class, and then I plan on saying goodbye to NHCC forever.
Today was only the second day of class, and already I've learned that my teacher smokes like a chimney, had an alcoholic father, has a sister with cancer, has a sister who is a slut, built a two story tree house when she was ten, has a gay son who recently got married in Vermont, and who is retiring in 8 years/15 semesters. Today I also learned who invented the first vibrators.
I have to say though, that I think I will love this class. My professor's over-personalization during class time makes things a LOT more interesting. Did I mention its a Child Development class? I don't really understand where vibrators fall into place...the use of one doesn't make conception very successful...impossible really.
I kind of can't wait to see what inappropriate things she is going to talk about tomorrow!
