The Dinosaur has Landed ...

Ok, both feet on terra firma now! Out of the pits and into the classroom.

Mostly young 'uns. Two men doing career changes that were older. I'm the only woman in there out of my 20's.

Was blown away at the amount of students who showed up 10, 20 and 30 minutes late. I mean, c'mon people, I know it's the first day of class and all, which is why you should give yourself even more time. The professor was very forgiving and backtracked for each of these late arrivals. They were lucky I wasn't at the lectern, for I would have given them a nice little speech on how I understand today is the first day, but moving forward I expect you to be on time and not disruptive of the class with a late arrival (30 minutes, c'mon).

Ok, so my snarky dino traits are emerging and yes, I acknowledge, I need to chill out, but it's a respect issue. (Here comes both corporate and mom training).

We'll see what tomorrow is like. Bio and Bio Lab over at UT - hopefully at $2000/class, students will be serious. (Actually there were a lot of serious students today - whole class shouldn't be dissed.

Ok, so I've discovered Pet Peeve #1 in my Student 2.0 career - Don't cut into my learning time because you are irresponsible. Even in my Student 1.0 life, I physically showed up on time - can't vouch for the rest.
