Today I Quit Not Being a Quitter
(completely random pic of Wonder Woman from this site) I've never dropped a class in my life but today on the first day of class, while the professor was describing the course, I realized it was not for me. The professor also said we could walk out at anytime if we felt we were just wasting our time. One guy took her up on her word 45 minutes after the start of the 3 hour class. I followed him 15 minutes later. I went straight to the student lounge's
computers and dropped that course and signed up for another one. There were actually computers in the class I decided not to take but it seemed in poor taste to use these to drop the class. Anyway, the little part of me that was terrified and appalled by quitting the first class of my life was sufficiently quashed by the part that really did not want to take that course. To be entirely fair, I didn't really research it sufficiently. Having been blocked out of two classes and having one of my alternates also not work I was scrambling to take 12 credits. Hopefully the class I signed up to replace it is better. It at least sounds more relevant to what I want to do and comes as highly recommended to the LIS program. This one was pretty random.
Sadly this also means that I will not be able to do the storytimes I committed to at work but I did not have a lot of other options. I hope I will be able to work something out in that respect or do storytimes next semester.
Oh, and if you're interested, I did a review of Neil Gaiman's
The Sandman here.

Hooray! Maybe some day you'll learn to hang up on people that already said bye ;-)
Cherie do you have to get the teachers signature on anything and turn it in somewhere. You didn't say whether you did or not. when I use to drop classes we did. otherwise you still have the class and you fail it. that would bring your grade point down so I would ask how to do it right you most likely still have time. So find out if you have to do it and make sure you have the proof too cause I dropped one once and the teacher signed it but didn't turn hers in so it looked like a lie till I showed them my copy of the class drop receipt with her signature on it. I was fine then. So make sure you did everything you need to do or you will have problem.
Yes, mom, I already asked about this but I don't need permission to drop a class until after the third week.
