ice breakers
Today I started school up again after a month on hiatus, and I started it with a BAM. Three classes starting at 8:00 and ending at 12:20. Woo! I wish I could say that my first day was a success (so far it is) but I have one more class at flippin 6:30-9:20 p.m. This is going to be a crazy semester. Labels: avoidance tactics, initiations
There's something about being a little bit older and still going to school. Even in highschool, the teachers start with those ice breaker moments on the first day. Stand up, what's your name, what's your hobby, what's your interest in this class... ect. In College, so far, I've had most of my teachers start off the first day like that, and I think I've figured out why. We're supposedly adults, but we've been programed with grade school for the past 12 years, and we have it engrained in that if we keep our heads down and our mouths shut not only will we not be labelled a nerd, we also don't piss the teachers off. Now that we have more freedom, our Prof. want more interaction and such, so they want everyone to feel comfortable and chatty. I got to tell ya though, it doesn't work in Speech 101 at 8:00 AM.
Wish me luck for the next few months! I've only been back in school for a few hours now, and my brain is already saying, "Well that was nice. Now let's go back to break."
But I can't! Especially if I can get this job at Geppetto's toy store in the mall over here.
