Rate my Professors

For some it's the beginning of summer but for me it's the countdown to senior year in college. So I've been making schedules for work and study, as well as looking online for professor ratings. Rate my Professors.com is to invoke fear into the hearts of students I swear! But what I read before was good enough for me. My algebra professor from freshman year was a witch and "r.m.p" told me that.But my English professor from freshman year was rumored to be a huge bitch but she was amazing. needless to say, I am terrified.

What I've learned thus far,
My ECON profess:
Likes to talk about his life experiences more than textbook work. I personally don’t see this as a huge issue, so long as he actually tests on things in the book and not from his lectures-unless he covers important things in his lectures.
Picks at your grammar. I am not an expert grammatically but I have friends who are. I can fix that. I can read about it. I can learn it. At first I thought,” Well, I was raised with British grammar, which is far more advanced. Therefore, I am right and you are wrong.” But I soon dropped that act once I received an D on a test.
You have no idea what is needed on the test. So basically I am going to keep track of everything I possibly can, bother the hell out of this man during his office hours and use more index cards then all of BigShot University combined.
He knows a lot about East Asian Economics. Being that I have an interest in International and Comparative law, as well as International Economics < so much more interesting than traditional economics.

Art Professor: I REALLY LOVE ART, so I am hoping this person won’t make it suck.
I know nothing about this person except we have the same name. Which basically means she’s a perfectionist with high standards, mood-swings but she’s very understanding.

ConLaw:
Is entertaining and very engaging.
You must come to class and do the readings to pass.
Good shot an a “A” .
All tests are essays, so briefing is to be applied.

PoliLaw Profess:
Debate skills will be tested. Despite my previous employers ear-beating I’m not a total shitty debater.
Very informative. Fun. Easy to remember because it’s fun.
*This is an actual law class, so it should be treated as such.

LatPoli:
Speaks fast. So taking notes with a laptop is preferred to writing them out unless it’s shorthand. I actually prefer pen and paper (low tech rules)but we’ll see.
Very knowledgeable about this subject.
You must come to lectures. You have to attend the lectures, ever lecture.
Essay exams- like all my other classes- which come back with notes.

So that’s my list. I’m really happy with my major because it fits me so well. I had to trample through my Chemistry bio-chemistry neuroscience major, be totally bored through Mass Communications < really I felt hindered. I like it but it just didn’t fit my personality. Totally ignore Business, when it comes down to it I have no interest in working in finance. To get to Politics and Philosophy. I am incredibly/naturally good at this. Sure it still requires work from me but I am still very good at it. I really enjoy it. I enjoy reading my workbooks, textbooks and researching. I never felt this way with any other major and I am glad I finally got my shit together.

So I’m going back to create a schedule and study for my exams. And you know what, I am looking forward to next semester when I will study like a crazy person and survive mostly on spicy tuna rolls and energy drinks(more like vitamin B supplements and Jasmine green tea) but still.

Goals and To-buy’s:
Goal in bed by 10 p.m. I am not spring chicken and I need the sleep.
Large ass bags of rice from the Chinese super store. I am part Chinese(Korean) but so Asian in my food choices. It’s the bulk of what I eat. So it is my goal to limit dining out to special occasions only and cook at home. Not only will the save money but I need to watch my weight and cooking at home makes it easy.
Brand new cell phone with newer plan, maybe. I need a new cellphone but I am not financially there to get a iphone and unlike other college kids I pay my own expenses. So I’m going to get a phone that has cool apps like google and stuff but price is a huge factor.
Apple laptop. Doesn’t need to be fancy but it must be from Apple. My goal is to by it from the Apple store , since I have a discount but if I need to I will purchase one from the internet! Yes, my dedication runs that deep.
Sweats for finals week. The only time I wear them.
Professional looking clothing for school. I am not buying any new clothes right not because:
1. My old clothes still fit, unfortunately.
2. I’m on a lifestyle changing workout/diet plan, which means I will be a lot smaller come the school year.
3. The above two.
Bedding for my bedroom and paint for the walls. The day before I move into my new place I am going to paint the walls. I’ve decided to have the main color of my room be either a heather grey( a favorite color of mine) or a neutral sand with splashes of lavender and hot pink. I feel like it’s relaxing but grown-up and that’s what I need.
Digital Camera , so I can have a blog worth bloglovin.

There are pretty big financial commitments but I can hopefully have them all fulfilled by September. On a different note, I have all the lights on in the house where I am studying because I have seasonal depression and the cure it light.That's a huge part of the reason I'm sticking to a light bedroom. Darkness truly drains me and makes me miserable, unless it's natural night time. I get sad mid-day when it's not dark yet but it's not light either,however, I feel a lot of it is stress from not getting work done, which is why I am going to switch gears. There's lots to be done but that's okay.I keep telling myself, remember you prayed for this.

So I'm off to study. I'll post photos after the jump... speaking of photos I'm adding a new digi cam to my list of buys.
