So, let's reminiscence life in Absegami high school for a bit--starting from the beginning of the day. Well, no doubt about it, college starts at a later time than high school. For me, I remember waking up 6:30 AM, taking 10 minute quick nap on the bus. College on the other hand starts at 8:30 AM--so waking up at 7:30 AM getting dressed, taking my time eating breakfast, and driving my Honda to campus. Another awesome thing about college is that they sell warm breakfast here, unlike Absegami we only had a choice between cereal in a plastic square bowl or a cold bagel with cream cheese...Needless to say the food here is far more superb--however at the same time, more unhealthy.

Moving along to our classes, walking from class to class stayed the same--except now we can use the elevator without feeling guilty. Back at my high school only those with disabilities and staff members can use the elevators. For Freshmen, we were told that we need a special hall pass to use those-which was nothing more but a joke to fool newcomers. So cruel! However, in Stockton not only everyone is very nice, I've not been mislead by anyone--I think it's probably since this place is so big, people tend to get lose themselves.The class size are a bit bigger than what I'm used to, even the desk that we sit are different--it's not a full flat surface anymore, it's half of that! That means ladies, you gotta put those giant purses on the floor--ha ha!! Ah, I'm kidding--I'm not that mean, but the desk's surface are small, so it's safe to say, they're only meant for taking notes. Not all the desks in my classes are like that, some are long like a display table or some with computers on them, no matter what you have--just make it work and don't let them disrupt you taking notes.
Now for the amount of class assignments in general...Well, the teachers doesn't check homework, with the exception of my W1 and Chinese class. I don't think I've been given any assignments other than taking notes in class and paying attention. There is honestly very little to no homework in college, so maybe taking six classes isn't so bad after all. In addition to the few amount of class, the grading system are a bit more lenient than high school. In Gami, an A+ was 98-100, here I believe it drop back to 94 -100? Also, the amount of classes are very little too--most of my friends only have four classes, while I have six, ha ha what fun~There may be very few homework but I think that's what is so hard about college, you have nothing to use as a review. Likewise, I think the amount of reading skyrocketed for me--I have things to read in my Biology class, W1 class, and my acting class.... ( = w = ' ) Whew~
Next thing on the list, clubs--this is the only that really shocked me, 8PM to 10 PM!!! I guess that I have to make sure to get all my work done on club days because by the time I get back home and finish all my homework it's already 1AM. Unlike high school, clubs and after school activities are usually from 2:30 to 3:30...if I recall correctly. Anyway, because this new club time, one of my friend was unable to attend the first Anime Club meeting since it was so late. Also, on a side not--I think making friends might be a bit hard this year since everyone is so eager to run out of the classroom as soon as the lesson is finished. I think I might need to grab someone's arm and say, "Hey I'm Miki! Let's be friends!"
