First Class
Well, I do believe that now that I've actually attended my first "Business Law" class that I can officially say I'm no longer scared of that one !
The teacher seems nice enough - a bit flaky, but nice.
I'm one of about 4 adults in the class - everyone else is 18 and fresh out of high school.
The thing that shocked me the most about my juvenile classmates is how far up their asses their heads were. When it was time to go around the room to say who we were and why we were taking the class and what our goals were, etc. ALL of these girls had the same response "I want to start my own business." That's great and all, but they didn't specify WHAT KIND of business. The teacher obviously noticed this as well and by the 3rd one she finally asked "And what kind of business is that?" to which she got the response "I don't know". The final young girl who had to give her schpeel responded with "Um, like, I want to major in Accounting so, like, I can have a job that I can do from home so I, like, don't ever have to leave and, like, if I have kids and everything I can, like, stay home with them and still work." The teacher couldn't help herself - she laughed. She looked at the girl and, through her giggles, said "Do you HAVE any children?" The girl looked at her, cocked her head, and responded with a bouncy "No, not yet !" "Good luck with that", the teacher responded, still giggling. She then composed herself and told the girl "Look, we need to talk. Pretend all these other people aren't in this class right now, o.k." and she then proceeded to explain to this kid what LIFE is and how it works and that the concept of having it all - kids, a career, etc all from the comfort of your home is simply not realistic. I'll be surprised to see this girl in another class.
Aside from class, the syllabus seems simple enough and I don't think it should be too hard of a class. I worked on my first homework assignment last night and only got 1/2 way through it. Part of the problem is that I have SO much to say about the topics. The two questions are essentially essay questions and they are both having to do with men/women equality cases which is a topic that makes me a bit, how shall I say?, fiesty. I am naturally a VERY opinionated person and I have to try to harness myself at least a little because I can tend to rant and I want to avoid doing that. I want to make my argument concise and thorough without sounding like I'm on a soapbox. So question one is complete. And now we have one more to go before tomorrow morning.
Tonight is my first Accounting class. Hopefully this one will go as smoothly as Business Law did !
