7:59- I walk into class, I woke up at 7:45 and I had to come to class because if you miss more than one class you fail the course. However, I just view this class as an interruption of my sleep, I come to class and then go back to my room and go to sleep til about noon. It is raining. I hate today. Info. Lit is a one credit course that is mandatory for all freshman to take their first year. The class is designed to help you find information, or so they say. In essence they teach you how to use the library. It is 3rd grade all over again.
8:03- There are 9 people here. The class has a roster of 18.
8:05- Professor Kwasnik is the teacher in this class. He is taking attendance. He is letting the 9 of us know that it will help our final grade being here today. Really? Showing up to class is going to help our grade?
8:09- We finish a quiz, a kid walks in and is told he will be marked absent because he is more then 5 minutes late. He walks right back out.
8:12- Professor Kwasnik tells us to e-mail him with a fake name, so that we can take another quiz, that won't be graded and someone can grade it without embarrassing us. Since my pride is already broken by having to be in this class, I chose to be John the Baptist.
8:18- I am telling you I feel like its 3rd grade. We literally just made a little diddy to remember the Dewey Decimal System. Yikes.
8:22- He is collecting the quizzes. He wants to know if anyone chose Barack Obama or John McCain, someone raises their hand. The whole point of the exercise was to raise anonymous. This kid should be marked absent.
8:25- Alex walks in 25 minutes late, he is told he has to see Professor Kwasnike after class because this is his second absence. Poor guy.
8:26- I was checking my e-mail and....My 8 O'Clock Class tomorrow is cancelled! I love today.
8:29- Out of the now 10 kids in here, there are 3 sleeping. 30 Percent of this class is sleeping.
8:32- I just got called on and got the answer right. I won't type the transcript because my cousin Owen who attends my alma mater, United Nursery School, would probably get the answer, then again he is extremely bright for a pre-schooler.
8:37- The kid behind me is videochatting, I know this because the person turned his computer around for a second to show the person on the other end the class.
8:39- Professor Kwasnik announces that next week is the last class for this course. I have to contain myself from picking up my chair and lifting it up in glee.
8:41- I can't wait for Thanksgiving.
8:45-We are a half-hour away from dismissal and I can honestly say that I have learned nothing new this class.
8:47- I just discovered a new window in this classroom. It overlooks the north parking lot.
8:54- We have to go online and find reliable sources for a certain subject. Professor Kwasnik went to each individual to see how the search was going. Mine is not going. It was awkward when he came over here but we pressed on. He asked me how it was going, I said fine, he said good and moved on. I dodged a bullet.
9:02- We are now 13 minutes from dismissal. I am so excited to go back to sleep. That statement is kinda sad. When the thing you are most excited for at the moment is to go to sleep, thats a scary thought. Oh well.
9:05- Professor Kwasnik is giving us a little pep talk for our last class. The excitement level is undescribable. If this doesn't get your blood pumping, I don't know what will. He tells us its been a pleasure working with us and that we all have "futures so bright, we need lampshades." I want to tell myself this is a college course but I know I'd be lying.
9:12- We are about ready to be dismissed. Check in friday to see if I liveblog religion 101 again.
9:13-Dismissed..
