Long couple of flights. First day of school. Farewell to my family. Greetings to my friends. A lot has happened in the past few days.
Saying goodbye to my family was hard.
I made it through airport security without too much difficulty. It wasn’t as easy as it was on the way back to Ukraine, but I can’t complain.
The first flight was about 3 hours. Landed in Amsterdam for a 5 hour layover. After taking forever to find the information desk, I finally got my boarding pass for the next flight. I sat at the gate and waited for a couple hours. The airport had free wifi for an hour, so I was able to let my parents know I got to Amsterdam without any problems. I saw a mouse in the airport. I simply stated at it for the longest time before it scuttled away. 30 minutes before they started boarding the plane, I realized they changed the gate. I found my gate and went through another security check before I waited again to board the plane. The second flight was about 10 hours long. I watched a movie, saw parts of Inception from someone else’s screen, ate interesting airplane food, and tried to sleep – mostly unsuccessfully. I had to go through security again after we landed, but it was nice finally getting through and seeing familiar faces again.
First day of class:
Lifetime wellness
Interesting teacher, full of integrity. Tiny classroom.
Management
Young teacher. ebook for a textbook. Seems like it will be like history, but less intense. The teacher called me a superhero because of my name. ^_^
English Comp II
Some of the same students from last semester, a few more intriguing ones as well. Same teacher. I sit in the front row now on the opposite side of the room. This should be interesting. Seems like it will be similar to last semester, just with more challenges.
Intro to system administration
Awesome. Same teacher as last semester. Out of only 9 students, I’m the only girl. For some reason, I feel like I have something worth proving now. I feel challenged. We’re going to be taking a computer apart and putting it back together.
Second day of class:
Programming I
Looks interesting. A bunch of students from my programming class last semester are in here. After going over the syllabus, we got our first bit of homework: writing a simple program to solve a problem. I finished the problem and sent it in. First homework for the semester: done.
Marriage and the Family
Wow, if any class is going to be an adventure, it will be this one. One moment the teacher is jokingly and lightheartedly greeting the students. The next minute, his seriousness in going over the syllabus is starting to scare me. Note: never, ever, ever call me when I’m in his class. I mean it. Ever. (OO)
Swimming
Ah, a fun class. Sweet teacher. Good group.
The third day of class, I only had one class. All the morning classes, and even chapel, were cancelled because of the ice and snow. Probably not so much for the snow as it was for the black ice.
Black Ice. Treacherous stuff, I should know.
2011 looks like it’s going to be a year full of adventure.
