I'm not excited for this school year. As someone who has only not worked two years of my life total in the past 16 years, this next statement is so strange for me.

I'm hoping my school district and for people to voluntarily furlough.

I am currently in a position where I don't have to work. If I furlough, I can collect unemployment and that will pay me enough to go back to school, I could focus on school while not working and finish my degree. Them I could return to work in a few months with a degree and a pay raise.

So, I guess me wanting to furlough isn't me not wanting to work it's me wanting to work on something else for a few months.

The first day of college during a pandemic was an uneventful as you can get. Today, I only had two classes (Comp Sci and Calculus) which were your usual syllabus readings. It went by pretty smoothly, with the usual zoom awkwardness.

For the Computer Science class, I feel as though I may get the hang of it. The people seem to also be lost including the teacher. The introductions were quick to the point, and I found someone from my fellow group! That was a pleasant surprise. She couldn’t tell that it was me, but I can’t blame her. Anyway, the course itself is pretty organized, although the lab portion is confusing. Hopefully, it’ll go smoothly tomorrow. 

The calculus professor seems pretty chill. He explains pretty well, and I believe that I will get used to his personality. The only qualm I have is the breakout rooms and constant contact with him and the SI. Well, that’s what I get for enrolling into an intensive course. I hope that the group I am in gets along.
