First day of classes...

First things first: I hate waking up at 6:30 AM, but I need to do it so I can get in the shower and still be ready for class @ 8:00. >_<

Anyway, first class was "The Art of Acting" from 8-9AM.
My teacher, Professor Nathan Gabriel... well, let's just say I know who my first college professor crush is going to be!
We did a warm-up acting exercise, called, "What are you doing?", which is basically this:
One person stands in the middle of a circle of people. The person in the middle acts something out - washing dishes, walking a dog, etc.
A person from the circle will enter the circle and ask the original person, "What are you doing?" and the original person will say something new. The asker will then act out whatever the original person told them.

I went in a few times, and after the exercise ended, Nathan (he referred to himself that way, I'm not just abandoning all formality) said he liked one of my charades the best. He said it was the most convincing. ^_^

I'm so excited for my next class with him. He's really cute and funny, and very enthusiastic about the class.

Chem lecture was alright, just info on the course, and then the professor went off on a tangent about scientific method and John Snow discovering that cholera is conveyed through water in the 1800's, and someone else figuring out that yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes. He didn't tie it all together and draw it back to the original point, so, while I enjoyed the stories and the pretty pictures, I didn't get as much out of the lecture as I could have. This is a bit frightening - if even his intro class lecture was not organized in a way that promotes my comprehension, how will I ever follow his in-depth lectures on chemistry? ugh.

Then I had 3 hours of chem lab in my schedule, but the professors and lab instructors just put all the chem lab groups together, gave a 50 minute explanation of the course requirements, and sent us on our way. Very cool.

So now I am free until tomorrow...
...and my first class isn't until eleven.
Sweet.
