How Day One of School Went...

 Pratt Institute/Freshman "Foundation" Year/08-31-09

So yesterday was my first day of classes. Light and Colour design. Went fairly well. Looking at how it all pans out, it's a 6 hour class. But I'm used to being in one class for a long period, used to be 2 now it's 3. Did some basic exercises with red, blue and yellow colored pencils, nothing out of the ordinary. I look forward to this class as I want to get better with colour, but it requires me buying more supplies. Acrylics, a lot of traditional materials I never used much. Remember, I never attended an all around art high school. However, I should look at it as part of this investment for my education and it'll be nice to have the space to work with other mediums like painting (although I hate painting).  
 
How'd your first days go?

I still have another 3 weeks until I  start a 4 year degree in History in Trinity college Dublin.  I have viewed my prospectus for the first year though, and it looks like for the first year at least things will be pretty boring. And I'm talking 300 years of Medieval Irish History-type boring :p

Six hours in one class? Shit. 
 
I die after 75 minutes.  
 
My first day was a week or two ago (I don't even remember and don't care to think right now, so SHUT IT) and it was your typical "hi, how are ya" doldrum crap because the course starts proper.

Well my first day of college was 8 years ago nearly now and honestly can't remember it really but my experience overall in college was enjoyable and really preferred it to university due to the fact I was closer to home and had a good time with my classmates even though some of them were the typical idiot.
