Starting class today

Woke up totally overwhelmed. But after taking my meds, drinking some coffee and take a shower, I now believe I’m ready.

I haven’t been this sane in a long time. Since well before the end of childhood. School brings back terrible memories. I just gotta go in there with the mindset of no expectations for myself…other than to learn.

If they do introductions I will play it as humble as I can. I’ve always sucked at intros in the past. No grandiosity in intros. Play it cool, me. I think I’ll be ok.

Just taking a class for pleasure/interest and structure in my life.

I’d be better off finding a part time job.

But oh well this is what I signed up for.

It’s called Humanities: the creative voice

It’s on humanities, philosophy, art, music, literature, history…all in one class.

At the local community college. Need to remind myself there’s not pressure. As long as I act as sane as I should be able to, I should have no issues. It’s not like this is the make or break class for my PhD. It’s supposed to be fun!!

I’ve never had to introduce myself in a college class. You should be fine :slight_smile:

Last class I did. I said I wanted to be some profession that I can’t even remember anymore. Pretty much I was psychotic and manic and said I wanted to be some grandiose profession when I “grow up”. Well I gave up on that idea quickly but the teacher wouldn’t give up on it and gave me a hard time every time I got a question wrong or something. Until I stopped going.

So yeah, I’m definitely not gonna claim some illustrious future career for me if we have to share that about ourselves again.

Keep it simple. State your name and that you’re not sure what your major is yet and then leave it at that.

I hope you enjoy the class! It’s great that you’re able to study again.

There is time to find a part-time job if you decide you’re ready for that. You said in another post that this is a condensed summer semester course. It’ll be over already before you know it!

I’m so happy you’re doing so well.

How did class go?

The professor seems really cool. I did my best , I feel more relaxed in class than usual. The subject is interesting. I think it’ll be good.

I might I might’ve said one stupid thing but maybe I’m being paranoid

I’m glad you like your professor! That’s huge. Did you introduce yourself? If so, what did you say?

We had to draw a picture of our life and I drew me sleeping with me dreaming of chaos in my mind. It was meant to be a metaphorical thing but I was like “I think my life is boring but then there’s my mind and it’s crazy at times” and she gave me a weird look. And then I just kept talking about my drawing and she seemed empathetic. But it’s going to be a lot of writing the class which I enjoy. It’s less on the textbook very hands on. I also made the teacher laugh. She said “I’m older than I look”. I said “me too” and she laughed
