Diary of a mature student - Chapter 3

Sept 8 - O. M. G.

Today we actually started discussing ethics.  I found myself grinning in class as the ideas starting bursting in my brain like the bubbles in champagne.

When I got home, I told Tom that I felt like I had drunk six cups of coffee.  I was so excited!

Sept 15 - Settling in

Five classes now.  I'm beginning to recognize some of the people in the class; we say hello and even talk to each other about the material!  I have found a third person for my 5-person group project.  I'm beginning to understand some of the ethical theories.  And ... I finally got my coursepack.

The last two weeks I've been wandering about the campus trying to find the best place to study.  I think I've finally settled on the Quiet Floor in the library. 

I have underestimated the time it will take to do my weekly assignments.  Plan was to spend a couple of extra hours on campus after class on Fridays, read the texts, and do the work.  Tried that today and took all that time just for the readings!  Reset ...

Tried to use the computers on campus for my assignments, but they're just not right.  The tech in the C.A.L.L. Facility told me that if my own computer was set up perfectly, I might want to use it instead of the university computers.  When I asked what perfectly meant, he said, perfectly set up for me.  Exactly.

They make good chili at the Student Union Building.

I need to buy a backpack.
