On my first day of college

Edited on Sun Mar-19-06 08:28 PM by SoCalDem

in my very first class.. English class ....held in the military sciences bldg...an odd choice to have a class, considering it was 1968..

The very first thing I was taught as a college student...

How to make a paper ashtray that would not burn the place down :)

He even handed out paper and a mimeo diagram (pre xerox era, kiddies)

What did you do on your first day of college??

1. Went to my first class like a good little girl.

Skipped the second because I ran into a hot guy who invited me over.

2. I almost slept through my first class...

no lie I accidentally set my alarm for 7:00 pm instead of am. I woke up at 7:45 for an 8am class and literally sprinted across campus. Now as a lazy jaded senior...I probably would have just rolled over in bed and went back to sleep because it was just not meant to be that day :P

5. Chemistry

First class was 8:30 am Monday morning. I walked into the room- well ,more like a auditorium and was shocked that it was so big and there were so many people. Mind you I went to a very small HS. My graduating class was 63 people. I think there was double that in that class.

6. Ditched.

I was star (only) witness in a personal injury lawsuit. The profs knew I would be AWOL, because the trial happened to be that day. The plaintiff won. :D

8. Exhausted myself in the entrance test for a lifesaving course.

I thought I was a good swimmer, but I was panting for an hour or more afterward. Whew!

Guess I'm not sure that that was actually the first day of classes, but it's the one I remember.
