"Community college is like high school but you can smoke."

That's how one of Matthew's friends descibed it and he was quite accurate. There is a general disregard for being on time, for being quiet while the teacher is talking, and for doing one's homewokr on time.

I've realized just this evening that I really dislike my community college classes. The teacher is great and the material is interesting, but the atmosphere is awful. The students all seem to attack each other during the class discussions. In both my classes, my coworkers talk incessantly. It annoys me, so I never sit at the same table as any of them. Thankfully, the teacher insists that we rotate tables, so I have a good excuse for moving around so much.

I will be spending the rest of this evening pounding out two homework assignments and a take-home midterm. I've never been to a college on the quarter system before. The homework level is pretty remarkable!
