mynuetThe first day of actual classes went fairly well. The woman professor was very encouraging in general, and I think I scored points for being able to talk about intersectional feminism and feminist theory. The dude professor is so obviously just going through the motions. I wish there'd been more guidance for the assignment due next time, since it's 20% of the grade, but he made it seem super easy? It's a history class and a lot of the people don't have a history background, so while to me an assignment about identifying primary and secondary sources seems way too simple to be true, some of the others were genuinely confused.
It all seems eerily easy for a doctoral program, but my little sister pointed out that I do literally have a genius level IQ and that might be a factor. It's weird, because I know I'm intelligent, but I was treated like a dummy so much in early elementary that I don't default to believing it? Sometimes I have to remind myself, literally and out loud, "not everybody knows everything that I know."
Anyway, it went okay. I panicked a little when one girl talked about having trouble registering for fall, but I logged in and confirmed that yes, I registered and definitely have a spot in the classes that both meet for half a day on three Saturdays, and didn't end up in the group that meets half a day Saturday for one class and all day Sunday for the other. I plan to continue being a super-nerd and registering for classes at 6:30am on the day that registration opens up.
I took today off, just played Avengers Academy and read fic. Ate too much. I need to get the food situation back under control, maybe even make a schedule for the summer so I keep things organized and on track. For now, though, I'm just focusing on being kind to myself.
