First Quarter at UCD
Ok, in short James is about to sum up why he has not written a noew Sheehy Adventure in so long.
Ahem...
When I first started at UCD I thought that it was freaking easy and so I carried on two jobs, school and still tried to write at least one Sheehy Adventure a week. This backfired majorly. School very suddenly got very hard and James was left with his inner self's head bashed in from stress wondering what to do. James took action semi-quikly (not fast enough) and quit the job that took the most time (Wal-Mart). On top of all of that James did not realize fully the difficulty of his classes.
He was taking Calculus 1 from a evil man who wrote hard tests so he could come in on test day and watch the students students sqwerm (He really did too, and at the final as you turned in the tests, he and the TA's would read them (not out loud) in front of the auditorium and laugh and point at the test calling the student stupid and things like that). His name is Andrew Waldron and he is the spawn of Satan's crap.
James was also taking Engineering Graphics Design. This class was being taught by an idiot who obviously couldn't make it in the world of the working engineer and so decided to teach. He grades homework and tests incorrectly and his answers to sample problems on his website are incorrect. He is also incoherent and the text is dumb. His name is Kazuo Yamazaki and he doesn't know the materials for his class from his own face.
Another class of James' was Computer Programming Engineering Problem Solving. This class was being taught by another idiot, except this one had an accent so thick that he may as well be speaking chinese. If he did then at least the chinese kids in the class would have understood him and they could have translated for us. This class also required 20 hours of homework per week. Nuff said.
James' only good class, amazingly enough, was his writting class. Scott Herring is quite posibly the greatest writing professor (even though he does not hold the title of professor I think he should) that I have ever seen of heard of. During midterms week he had us watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (a funny movie) instead of take a test because he felt that we had enough work with it being midterms already (and he was right) and freshmen have a tendancy to stress out easily.
So all things considered my first quarter at UCD sucked, and was stress beyond anything and on top of that it seemed impossible that I could pass my classes. I was fully prepared to change my major when I recieved my final grades for my classes and found that I had passed all of them. I had a C in math a C in programming a B in graphics and an A in writing and so James can now move on with his life and never have to deal with those teachers again and get back to the Sheehy Adventures and his book that he will attempt to finish and get published within the next 2 years.
