Things I have learned since arriving on campus:
- Starbucks raspberry smoothies make me sick. I didn't feel well the entire day.
- Math, that I thought would be my hardest class, is actually, my easiest class.
- Liberty is MUCH harder than HCC (I kinda all ready knew that before showing up, but now it's official)
- The Starbucks on campus participates in FRAPPY HOUR! So from 4-6 fraps are 15% off. If I want a frappichino, I get to
show great self restraint to wait until 4pm.
- I really don't like being away from Cody (No, that is not the only reason that I am bitter towards Liberty. I just really don't
want to be here.)
- I don't like having more than 30 people in a class. My Bible class has 550 people... Psych has 200... GNED had 250... I
mean, seriously?
Before I even showed up for Freshman orientation, I knew it was going to be a waste of time... It was. I walked in and for some reason, I was put in the international oriental group. So I was in there with a bunch of asians. I tried to make friends, but they didn't speak very good English and it was difficult. I still don't know how I ended up in the international group. MARYLAND IS ONLY 3.5 HOURS AWAY!
Class started on Monday. On MWF I have math from 8:50-9:40 and convo from 10-11... And that's it. It's such a nice day to catch up on all of my homework for Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday and Thursday I have GNED 101 from 9:15-10:30... NT Bible from 10:50-12:05... Psychology 101 from 2-3:15... and Communications 101 from 3:35- 4:50.
I originally put my schedule like that because I wanted to be able to get out early one Friday's because my adopted brother Jon is marrying my friend Sara on a Saturday in September and I want to be able to leave as early on Friday as possible to get home. But now that my schedule is set up like this... I really like it! My TR go by so quickly and my MWF are filled with free time that this whole past week I have filled with homework/reading and some socializing :)
In convo on Friday, something happened that really made me angry and I'm still not over it. It's going to be my soap box for awhile. The speaker talked about dating. Okay, fine, whatever. That's not what bugged me. Let me try to quote him a few different times.
"How many of you guys see an attractive girl on campus that you would like to get to know better? Okay, all of you guys raised a hand... now, think of that girl... Is she dating anyone? WHO CARES! If the guy doesn't have the integrity to propose to that beautiful girl you have your eye on, they she's fair game."
Liberty has this saying "Ring before Spring" and it pretty much means, meet the love of your life, and ask her to marry you before spring. I hate that. Guys are forward enough as it is, they don't need someone telling them to basically rush into a relationship/marriage.
The speaker told us the story of how he met his face. She was dating another guy and he asked her out and went after her for 3 months until she agreed to go out with him. Now they're married. Okay, cool, it worked for him.
First of all, it is NEVER... EVER... EVER!!!! okay to try and steal a girl from her boyfriend. Never. Even if a guy tried that, I think the girl would automatically think that the guy wasn't respectful because of what he was trying to do.
He said that every guy that day should go ask out a girl. A girl yelled" whoohoo" from the audience and the guy put the camera on her and said "Which one of you guys is taking this girl out tonight?" A guy who was on the other side of the Vines center stood up and yelled "ME" The speaker paid for their first day because they were the first to obey what he said.
I'm sorry, but Liberty is a college and not a dating service.
I really... really... really don't like Liberty at the moment. I think that was the most repulsive thing that anyone could have said in convo (in case I didn't clarify is, convo is chapel.... DURING CHAPEL IS NOT THE TIME TO FIND A DATE.
I know I'm over reacting somewhat over the whole thing that happened at convo, but I feel like the entire thing was rude. I don't want to come back here next semester. I want my first semester to be my last one here.
I don't need a college for a dating service.
:( It'll get better! If it doesn't, you're always welcome at Salisbury University! ;) Goodness knows Anjoli and I have transferred enough to know what it's like making a transition. Eventually, you'll get used to Liberty (even though I know such humongous classes could be bothersome) and you might love it! Anjoli and I didn't like Pitt at the beginning as much as we did by the end of the semester. We like Salisbury a lot so far, so maybe we just had to transfer one more time to find the place we really belonged. Talk to me any time, Becca! I have faith in you--you'll do great things at Liberty!! :)
