The first day of class was uneventful. I discovered I couldn’t use the wifi network unless I installed Service Pack 2, so I’m working on that while I type this. I had the first session of my ASL and Deaf Studies class, which was led by Ben Bahan and MJ Bienvenu was sitting right behind me. Holy crap, talk about deaf luminaries! I’m sure very few of the other students realized who they were, because how many of them have actually researched their own community? But I’ve known those names for years and I can’t believe they’re teaching one of my classes! (Actually, my section is taught by somebody else, but they’ll be there at the mass lectures on Mondays.) Another student showed me where the commuter lounge is, it’s bigger than I expected and it has a fridge, big lockers, several computers, etc.

In the afternoon I had my math class, Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis, which is probably going to be the only math class I’ll need - I mentioned I was a Deaf Studies major and the professor said I’d probably be done after that one. Of course I probably still have general studies requirements for science, but at least I’ll be done with math! My books are all pretty expensive, but I’m going to buy them on Amazon and save a little bit of money.
