My College Adventures

My first week of class

School, school, school! Ugh! Don’t get me wrong I love the fact that I’m going to college and that I’m taking a step in bettering my future. However, I have a few odd professors, and a few great ones. The good, the bad, and the ugly! We will call them Prof X, Y and Z so that my identity stays a big secret, right?

Prof X is a bit uptight and ‘controls’ me in Mathematical Analysis for Business II.. Even though she is uptight, she is a stylin’ woman in her 40’s. She is like the professor in all the movies that would appear to follow the rules, dresses fly, hair is always up, wears glasses, and is being checked out by every male despite her age. She seems to have the class under control but the minute she turns around it seems like high school all over again.

Prof Y is in control of my Economics History course. He is a spitting image of Professor Klump from the Nutty Professor, although he is a bit smaller and even more boring then good ole’ Professor Klump. Due to the fact everything he says is monotone, I fear falling asleep in his class not being able to retain a darn thing. Good thing there is such a thing as Google in case my studies slip.

Then you got, Prof Z who teaches Business Statistics. Prof Z is an older male in his 50’s, has an interesting story to tell, attractive, and has a deep voice like that of Sean Connery which makes him even more attractive. I would never date him, no worries there! It’s just easier to retain the information because he is very smooth and has a style of teaching that keeps you engaged.

Opps, almost forgot! My Managerial Accounting course has a Professor too, so X, Y and Z won’t do… Unfortunately I can’t read this professor very well. So time will tell. She seems nice but she is just there, simple but nice. We will see how it goes with her and with each an every other professor I have through my college days. I’m sure it will all work out in the end, as long as I do what I’m suppose to be doing while I’m in class, all will be good.

What classes should I take my first semester?

As you read before in ‘Starting college mid year’ you know I’m getting ready to go back to school after a little break Going back to school brings me to the big decision in what classes should I take for my first semester? I know I want to head into business or marketing as a major but I’m still unsure on which way to go. My friends think business management and marketing are not for me, they expect me to go to a trade school for fashion or web design, but really, business management is great for me. My plan is to work my way up the corporate ladder into an upper management role until I blow their socks off and run the business myself or venture off into running my own company after I gain as much experience as possible. Sounds like a pipe dream, it’s not! I have a master plan!

Back to what classes I should take this semester, our on-site counselor feels I should take Mathematical Analysis for Business II, Economics History, Business Statistics, and Managerial Accounting course to stay on track. My parents were with me when the counselor and I went over this so… my parents want me to take that direction as well.

I was hoping to take courses that would be more interesting but I’m aiming to please Moms and Pops all because I just got back from my little vacation from school which displeased them greatly! My parents really believe following my consolers recommendations will not only keep me on track but it’s there way of knowing I’m taking the right courses. I suppose their right and will do as they want until the get over this whole break thing!

Anyhow, what’s your major and what courses are you taking this semester? I hope to find others who are taking the same courses as me; maybe we can help each other along the way! Please share what courses your taking and what your major is by commenting below.
