Week 3 Theme

I walk into the room only to find myself feeling even more nervous and awkward. Feelings that I don't often have. I'm the second one to walk in and I find a seat in the second row towards the side of the room, out of view from most of the class. You see, I missed the first two classes due to a mix up in my schedule. So I am the odd one out, the girl who doesn't know how the classroom works. As I got settled, I sat in the rolling chair provided, reached down to grab my things out of my bag, and teetered in a way that almost made me fall. Meanwhile kids have begun to sit all around me. I'm beginning to think I'm going to make a fool of myself in this class, but I know it's just the first day nerves. Back towards the doorway I see that everyone is writing their names on a sign-in sheet, one thing I do not know about. After everyone had filed in, signed the sheet in the front, and found a seat the teacher began talking. He started explaining the computer program we would be using, and again I had not heard of it. So, after he was done explaining and there was a free moment, I went up to his desk to ask some questions.

"Hi, my names Jordan. I was wondering how I go about using the computer program?" I said.
"Oh, you are one of the ones that missed my first class!"
"Yes" I said disappointed in my mistake.
"Well." he said. "You are going to have to take this CD here and put it in your computer so the software transfers over".
Feeling somewhat stupid again I said, "There is one problem, my computer does not take CD's anymore."
"That's not a problem" He said. "All you have to do is bring in a USB pen drive next class and you can use one of our class computers to transfer the information to the drive".
"Awesome! Thank you so much!" I replied as I turned to walk back to my chair.
"You're welcome!"

The rest of the class went smoothly, as we only took a few pages of notes after he was done explaining the rules of his classroom. However, after class I found that we could not use a Macbook to run the computer program, which of course is the laptop I own. Yet another thing that went wrong for me in the class so far. However, my roommate has a PC so I am able to my work and studying on her computer because she so nicely let me borrow it. All in all, my first class experience was a little shaky and I was not quite prepared, but I'm sure I will slip right into the flow as soon as the class picks up.
