School and other things

School is in full swing for me, complete with homework and quizzes, lol.  It has been great getting back with my friends and teachers, my classes have been great as well.  My Business Law class sounds like it will be easy, the teacher said most people have been able to do well in that class without any tutoring.  Besides that, this particular teacher is one of my favorites because he lays out exactly what is expected, gives you a study guide, and goes over any mistakes you made.....this works great for me! My teacher for Word Processing and "Success and Study Skills" is pretty good too. 

Oh, my "Success and Study Skills" class was interesting this week, we got to go through a class discussion on stating your opinions on different controversial subjects.  The teacher gave out different controversial opinions, then each one of us had to state if agreed, disagreed, or felt neutral about the subject.  Believe me, there were definitely some differences of opinion, lol.  One topic asked, "Do you feel Michael Jackson was responsible for his own death?"  I was neutral on this because I felt that he did allow the doctor to give him medication which was illegal.....medication which ultimately led to his death.  Others felt only the doctor was responsible.  Another topic asked..."Should the government legalize marijuana so that they can reap the tax benefits?"  Now I was definitely against this for obvious reasons, I am a Christian and do not believe one should use drugs like that.  But, believe it or not, there were a few of my classmates who thought the government should go ahead and legalize marijuana .  Kind of makes me wonder where their heads were at!
Other things.......can you believe we felt an earthquake here?!  It was on Tusday afternoon while classes were going on, I was studying in the Academic Center.  It was weird, we felt the whole building shaking and saw the computers and stuff shaking in front of us.  It did this for about 30 seconds, we were all looking at each other like "what in the world?"  Of course, a lot of us went online to find out what it was......seems a 5.8 earthquake happened in Mineral, VA but it was fel all up and down the East coast.  Other "excitement".....we had to have a lock-down at school one time this week.  A lock-down of the school is done if there is someone suspicious on campus or an armed person is on-campus......so they lock all doors to the buildings and classrooms.  This is something new they have started doing in light of some other similiar instances on bigger college campuses.  This time though it turned out to be a false alarm, hopefully there won't be other occurrences like this.

I have to work this weekend with Hurricane Irene bearing down on us . For now, I am only scheduled to work Friday night, but they may still need me on Saturday due to the storm.  Either way, I am sure it will be interesting, usually is when there is a major storm.  We have had power go out before, plus there was one time one of the lady managers freaked out and hit the floor when thunder hit real close to the restaurant.  So, like I said, this may be a fun weekend if people lose their power.......where will they go to eat if they can't cook at home?!  Sigh, at times like this we could get swamped with hungry customers!
