Idiots and school

Yesterday was my first day back to school in about a year and a half. Much time has gone by and though I have thouroughly enjoyed not having to sit through lectures and boring slide presentations, hand cramps from furiously trying to keep up with the teacher and the never ending homework, I find myself getting just a bit nervous and excited of the next few years of school to come. Don't get me wrong here, I still don't like going to school, but to get a degree to which you can actually do something in life instead of flipping burgers, school is a must.
Class started out with a sub. Yes a sub. For the week actually. We don't really know where the teacher is but hope that he will maybe show up. class started promptly at 1730 and we had the usual stragglers and wonderers come in with the "sorry I'm late" and "I couldn't find the classroom". Oddly enough the classroom is off the biggest walkway on the bottom floor as you head in from the parking garage. Anyways, class could not have been deader. The teacher and the materials were fine, it was the people! I forgot that in high school all you did was sit there and wait for the teacher to answer him/herself. That is what this classroom was like. I answered a few questions along with one other girl, but for the most part it was the half asleep, head resting on arm, half hunched over people that seemed like they were in high school. The one thing that I truly loved about night school a few years ago was the older people that really wanted to be there and that interacted with the people around them and tried their best to get the answers right. Yeah, most likely not this class. By the way, this is a Biology class. We get out at 1940 and they scatter like little mice out of a cage!
So as I journey off into another battle to get a good grade, keep my sanity and get enough sleep, wish me well so that I may not beat my 18 year old lab partner who doesn't speak very good English over the head with a Microscope!
