Schedules

2 weeks ago in class, we had a very helpful class because we all discussed the different classes we were enrolling in for next semester. It seemed chaotic at first because some kids didn't know who their advisors were while others did and some already had their meetings with their advisors while others had not even scheduled an appointment. However, we were given 2 sheets, which had the different classes we could take and a sheet that we had to fill out to hand into Vince. After people looked at these two sheets and started to figure out what they needed and what classes they wanted to take it made the process a lot smoother.
For the kids who already had their appointments, we told Vince what we had chosen and he put them on the board for the other kids to see. Because there is no fig class next year we were asked which classes we wanted to have other kids in our floor in because it would make the studying a lot easier. We named the classes that were a little difficult through personal experiences and which classes we hoped to have more kids on our floor in because then if we weren't able to go to class that day for whatever reason we could just walk down the hall and knock on their door. Although all of the classes can't be accommodated for some classes could be, which made us a lot happier and relieved to know we would have our friends in our classes. The class was really helpful because we got to learn which classes were harder than others and which classes we really wanted our floor mates on because of the workload and how difficult the studying could possibly be.

Buck's Ice Cream

Instead of going to the geological science building to have our normal class session with Vince and Professor Steffins, we went to Buck's Ice Cream Parlor, which is right next to Hatch to have fun with our other classmates. We had to stay there for the full hour but it didn't really matter because we were there to eat our ice cream and have fun. We all waited for each other to get to Buck's before going on line to order our ice creams, because of course that is the nice and polite thing to do. So when everyone came we all got online and everyone ordered their choice of ice cream flavors or their choice of shakes, which was basically ice cream mixed with extra milk in a blender. After we all got our ice creams we sat outside on the benches and the tables and just talked with each other asking how our day was going, how our week was going by so far and how our weekend had been. Instead of us having to be forced to talk, which is what sometimes happens in class, we all just freely talked about what we wanted to talk about with our friends. There were really no cliques in the class, which made it easy for everyone to talk and just have fun without the pressure of feeling uncomfortable or awkward. But sadly, the hour ended quickly and everyone went onto do the things they had to do, such as homework, study or simply take a nap. However, that one hour was fun and it was something our entire class had enjoyed because we were sitting outside, eating ice cream and just having fun instead of sitting in a classroom talking about important topics such as our schedules for next semester / year.
