Today I went to three classes for the first time this year. They were Political Science, History and English. Despite having three classes in one day I was really motivated, interested and most of all not tired. The History class was at Kwantlen Langley, and the other two were at the Surrey campus.

For those that don't know I am attending Kwantlen University College and go to school at all three locations: Surrey, Richmond, and Langley. If you are wondering about the title of this blog(Kulwant College) let me explain... In 2001 I was in grade 12 and going to PM. At the beginning of the year someone called Kwantlen "Kulwant" college. It soon caught on and by the end of the year everyone said it.

Ok so I had the history class in the morning. I drove to Langley and got there in about 20 minutes, and got to class about 10 minutes late. I did not miss too much. The instructor made the course look quite interesting. I was excited to know that there are going to be quite a few group things. I was not a "group" sort of a person to begin with, but today I was really looking forward to that. I can't figure out why. Maybe it's my strong communication skills that make me want to do things in groups. I don't know... Class was surprisingly not boring, as I expected it to be. I thought that the professor really knew his stuff and seemed like a very helpful guy. I turns out that this guy also co-authored a book, which is out textbook for the class. So he is one of the very best.

I then went to the Surrey Kwantlen library to study with a friend. I read a little handbook on how to write essays on history and how to cite items used in history. That was alright. I did start to yawn near the end.

At about 3:45 I proceeded to the lecture hall in the E building. I was about the fifth person to enter the room. Everyone else was sitting down, and I took a seat too. When it struck 4:00, I was wondering why the teacher had not shown up. Still more people were coming in and sitting down on the desks. When it was 4:30 one girl got up and read the note posted on the door. It told us to go to room # G2535. The whole class felt so stupid for not taking a look at the sign beforehand. So we proceeded up to the classroom. It was empty, there was no one there, and we found a note on the chalkboard telling us to go to the library. By this time everyone was a little annoyed. So we went down to the library and the teacher was waiting for us. We had a little 45 minute class after which we were dismissed. In this class I did learn of very good researching tools that are available to Kwantlen students.

After that I went to my fuffor's(uncle's) house for about an hour.

After that I had my English class at 7:00pm. I do not have any comments about that class except that it will be a very easy year....

Its been a week since school started and still I feel really into it with a great deal of enthusiasm and optimism. I think that it will continue throughout the semester. Most of my teachers are really good and have shown signs that they will really help me if I ever get lost in any of the classes. The only thing that I worry about is the computer class. I am good at everything that has to do with computers but one. That is programming. There is a Visual Basic unit in the computer class and that will be hard, I know it. I got 12% in IT 12 at PM, and that was all VB. Yeah that is how bad I really am.

Overall I think that my two years at "Kulwant College" will be a breeze...
