usf

Second day of school down & it's been good so far.
The only negative thing is that it seems like these people don't know how to use their email to communicate a change of rooms. Other than that it's gone fairly well. A little bit awkward because I don't know anybody, but I've talked to a couple people and I know one of them will turn into a friendship.

The first day three classes had the same room number on the schedule, so everyone there was confused. One group figured out where they were supposed to be, so it was an English group & a history group. We sent someone out in the hall periodically to check the rooms & see if there was any hint of direction. Finally, the four of us English kids left & went on a hunt to figure out what was going on. They told us a different room and the rest of the class was already there. I guess we weren't important enough to make the email list ;)

Second day - there was a mandatory meeting for an online class I'm taking so he could show how to use the website & how to turn things in. We all met in the room the email said and waited until 15 minutes after 5. Then we had someone check their email & see if the room was actually right and also to get his phone number so we could make sure it was still going on. He didn't answer his phone, so someone found his wife and another student said he had told her to meet in a different building. In this case, the whole class was in the wrong room & he was confused as to why we didn't show up. I think someone who teaches an online class should know how to use email?

I can't complain, though. I love that it's a Christian school. The only thing bad about this place is that it's not Idaho.
