I'm officially in Freshman Composition 101...seriously..."Freshman"...oh I'm too old.
I had another friend starting back at school today and I just e-mailed her this...
I got into my english class, but can I tell you it's a 23 year old, a 25 year old, me the ancient 29 year old, and about 30 18 year olds...fresh from high school. We had to go around the room introducing ourselves and sharing where we came from...everyone was saying "Hi my name is (fill in the blank) and I graduated from (fill in the blank) high school this past June"
"Hi my name is Nora Griffin and I graduated from Mater Dei High School in 199-grumble grumble-4"
...I started working at a high school when you all were in eighth grade...you were 8 freaking years old when I graduated high school...I am old and fat and a little frumpy
but I didn't say that last part :)
So, that sums up the demographics of the class. However, it's totally worth being the oldest just to take a class with this professor. I took a Women's Studies class with her in Spring of 2003 and she is great. Practical, down-to-earth, worldly, open-minded, and demanding. I know that by having her grade my papers I will be so much better equipped to play by the rules. You know all those grammar rules, and organization of thought, concise sentences...and everything else I don't do?
