Hey everybody, I have now survived my first week of college! I didn't leave home yet because I am attending a community college.

I am taking three classes: Anthropology 101, Math 095, and English 101. I really like all of my teachers. My anthropology teacher is my favourite. He is hilarious (he loves the Daily Show and tells a lot of Bush jokes)! My math teacher is nice (he also has a heavy accent that is sort of difficult to understand sometimes). My English teacher is absolutely insane (I can't even think of another way to describe him).

I haven't talked to my teachers about AS yet, but I am getting a copy of my accomodations from our college's resource center to give them on Monday. I think that all my teachers will be helpful, though.

I think college is so much better than high school!! ! :D

When I was in college, I met with someone at the academic support center at the beginning of each semester, and we discussed what modifications I would need. The only modification was the one wherein if I needed it, I would get extra time on my exams. I only needed it during my physics course. There were two physics courses: one calculus-based and one algebra-based. I used it only for the former than the latter.

I have that too. I also have the option of taking exams in the resource center if I find taking tests in the classrooms too distracting.

I'm glad you have enjoyed it so far. What kind of college are you at right now? Is it big? Small? How large are your classes? Keep us updated on how it goes, okay? :)
