Well, that's nice. I dragged my weary ass out of bed at seven this morning, to catch the eight-ten bus, which is the only bus that gets to SMCC in time for my nine-thirty Foundation of Sport class, only to spend exactly fifteen minutes there before being dismissed. Honestly. I could have slept in. Which, since I'm working tonight, would have been nice. I'm gonna be so wiped after work I won't be able to see straight. Oh, well. For next FoS, we're taking a tour of Hadlock Field (YAY), which is within walking from my house, so I will be able to sleep in. Plus, tour of Hadlock Field. I'm pretty stoked.
By the way,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
americanleaguer, I did some poking around (by which I mean "I asked my FoS teacher") and found out that the SMCC Seawolves are part of the Yankee Small College Conference, and the reason we play baseball in the fall as well as the spring is because of the weather. The YSCC covers Maine and New Hampshire, and spring weather is pretty dicey. It's more likely they'd be able to get in all their games in the fall, so the real championship season is right now. The first home games are next week; a doubleheader on Tuesday in the park fairly near my house. I am excited. I just bought an SMCC hat (eventhoughireallyreallyshouldnthave) to wear. I am wearing it right now because I wore my Tigers hat today, except that they have an offday and I don't wish to think about them much today anyway.
Next up, I have about three empty hours, which I will use for doing homework and having lunch, and then I'll get yakked at by my Psychology teacher. She is awful. She has a lot of experience in the field, but sorely lacks any teaching skills. We're studying the brain right now, and someone asked how much of the chapter we needed to know for the test, and this (not even kidding) was her answer: "I don't expect you to know all of it, but I do expect you to know some of it." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?? Should we memorize the different lobes? Do we need to know which neurotransmitters do what? Should we just worry about neurons and synapses and shit? Do we need to know anything about the disorders the chapter goes over? AUGH. I was talking with a couple of the other students after class and we all agreed that none of us has learned anything. Luckily, there is strong evidence that she grades like a creampuff. Also, the textbook is excellent - really well-written and quite readable and interesting - so I might just learn something after all. I'll just sit there and read while she babbles. :P
That's all I got for now. I think I'll get some fresh tea and go get started on my algebra homework.
