John, Ed, and Professor Tom. A.K.A. The first day


The first day of classes! Before, you are excited, and after, you’re drained. That was my day in a nutshell. I woke up at 5:00 in the morning to get to class. But I was full of energy, especially after having a dream about making love to this beautiful girl that resembled my friend Zaira, who is an officer on the A.S.I. government on campus. I’m serious, she resembled her in a way. I gotta keep having dreams like that; it keeps me full of energy all day!

My accounting teacher, John Lacey, was sponsored by Ernst & Young™. Interesting, indeed. And he is a very accomplished instructor, having taught at UCLA and USC. One of his quirks is that he isn’t very good at remembering names. I hope he remembers mine, because mine’s stands out. ^_^ But it seems he’s a very amiable teacher, and I think I might do okay in this class. It’s all a matter of knowing the concepts.

I had a long break, and I went over and bought some books and shirts with mom. And after lunch, it was time to head to my second class. Ed Funkhouser’s a young, blond, stout instructor with a cool looking name. I mean, Funkhouser? I thought he was an old, geezer-looking guy that knew how to rock and roll! But anyway, Ed’s a very cool teacher, and is very energetic about his role as an instructor. And a good deal of his class in online, so I can look at the assignments and analyze them before making my call.

Afterwards, I got treated to yet another instructor that I seem to like, Tom Frazier. Sounds like an athlete’s name (isn’t there a famous athlete by that name?), but he has been well traveled, and can speak a good deal of foreign tongues. Professor Tom, as I like to call him, is planning to earn his Master’s degree at this university in Berlin, and for our first session, broke it down quite well. All of a sudden, I got an idea for what my country will be in my case study report. The Philippines is a country that I visited, twice in my childhood. And I still have a clear vision of what it looked like then, and still looks like today. Slums, pollution, dirty filth all around. So I’m tapping that.

After grabbing some more notes, and a few test score sheets, I headed home. Oh, by the way, I decided that I will either be committed to Zeta Phi Rho (a Filipino fraternity) or Delta Sigma Pi (the co-ed business fraternity). I just gotta see what each of them has to offer, and then I’ll make a decision.

Tomorrow’s gonna be a challenge. I got to work at the registers and accommodate a ton of angry young students, and then off to my Business Calculus class in the evening. But first, some homework and hydration…and sleep.
