The big list aside for now, I'd like to post something that is actually going on in my life for once instead of writing something vague that only kind of applies to my life (like I tend to do so often). As my only reader knows, I just recently started taking classes at Pulaski Technical College (a community college in Little Rock, AR). I am enrolled in 5 classes:
Microeconomics, (MWF)
Human Resources Management,(MWF)
Small Business management,(MWF)
Accounting 2,(T,TH)
and
Legal Environment of Business.(S)
School has only just begun; however, I have already encounter some very interesting people. I have three classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and for the most part they are all simple. The problem is that nobody else in the classroom thinks that these classes are simple.
Lets begin with Microeconomics, or as I like to call it, "Obama is going to save the world-conomics. Just for the record, every single one of my professors is very outspoken about how much they dislike President Barrack Obama. That being said, the entirety of this 9am class consists of students shamelessly raising their hands and reassuring my economics professor that our new President has everything under control, and there's no need to worry about what she is trying to teach. I rather enjoy sitting back in my chair listening to ignorance get owned by intellect...It just makes getting out of bed on Monday worth it.
My next class starts promptly at 10am, and heaven forbid I'm ever late to this abomination of a class (-5 point just for being tardy). Let's just put it this way, Human Resources Management is the most pointless, boring, and unintelligent class that I have ever had the displeasure of attending on a regular basis. Ironically it is the only one taught by a professor with her doctorate. I'm not going to even begin to talk about her ridiculous standards for such a lame class. Instead, I want to talk about an encounter I had with a guy whose name I forgot, but for the sake of having a name we'll call him "Goldy" because, Goldy has the largest two front teeth (and the worst breath) that I've ever encountered, and one of them happens to be gold. I'm convinced that Goldy doesn't know how to speak English because I haven't understood a word that he has spoken to me yet, and he sits next to me every day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. More on Goldy later...
My third and final class on MWF is also my favorite class. Small Business Management is probably the easiest and most entertaining class that I have ever taken. My professor is a tightly wound 30-something woman who hates taxes more than anything on the planet. She owns a couple of businesses, lots of rental property, has 4 kids, and her husband is apparently a lot smarter than she is (that's all she said about him). This class is awesome! We don't have tests, and it's basically just a free-for-all. 80% of the class doesn't understand that the purpose of the class is to learn how to start a business, so instead of asking relevant questions, they treat the class like it's some sort of Q & A on how to get rich quick. Let me tell you, these people are dumb, and it's so sad to hear some of their questions...I'll take notes on the stupid questions asked tomorrow so I can have an example, but trust me when I say it is very hard to keep from laughing out loud every class period; in fact, the professor laughs at them for me...It's just sad.
So there's my Monday, Wednesday, Friday in a nutshell...more to come soon...
