Today was pretty good.

Calc was good. We learned derivitives, and I was expecting them to be super-complex, but there were pretty much just a special type of limit, so it was okay.

This does bring up one issue, though. That kid who I was thinking I may become friends with at be beginning of class sits behind me. We never became friends. I never really talked to him, and I guess that was the main cause, but we also don't seem to share much in common, so that is another. Anyway, he talks to the person behind him throughout calculus. Normally, I would think "whatever, I can still hear the professor", but he annoys me (not something that is easy to accomplish). Maybe it is just when he is talking to that one friend, but he acts so smug and arrogant, like he already knows it. And maybe he does know a lot of it. He said that he took AP calc in HS, but wouldn't that mean he failed the AP test? He scoffs at people who ask questions and just talks when the professor is talking. It is not even like he made one of the A's on the test, the professor named those who did. Then, the kid specifically makes fun of one other kid who asks a ton of questions. Granted, he doesn't do it to the kid's face, and the kid does as A LOT of questions(a lot of them things that everyone else already drew the conclusion to, and it gives the impression that the kid is very confused), but whenever he asks something, the guy behind me sighs or says that the kid is stupid. I don't know. It irritates me. Obviously he doesn't quite know everything. Maybe he shouldn't make fun of the kid for actually trying to learn the material. Maybe the kid isn't the brightest, but I have far more respect for him than I do someone who slacks off and calls people stupid for asking questions.

Anyway, literature was okay. We had to choose decades(1950s-1990s) to research last Friday, and I chose the 60s. We are supposed to get together in a group of our decade, but apparently I was the only one who chose the 60s, so I am in the 50s group now (the group portion is the 50s, but my individual part is still the 60s). They seem like nice people. It is me and 4 females. We had to exchange cellphone numbers, and that was kinda awkward since I don't have mine memorized and had to look it up in the settings, but I am just glad the group was assigned, and we didn't have to pick.

Chem was pretty good. I got back my retest on the quiz, and I made a 91, so I am fine with that. An A is fine with me. Then we took another quiz, and, based on when she talked about the answers afterwards, I think I made a 100, or at least an A.

Compsci was fine, relaxing as usual.

Then we had computer+math club. It was actually pretty fun. We divided into groups. There were
Robotics
Math+logic
Programming, IT, and computer security/defense

We can go between them at any time, but we were just choosing our main or starting one. I think the one I was in was the best anyway, ha ha. I am interested in the other two(mostly just automation and AI in robotics, I don't really have interest in what they were doing, which was actual robot types of things), but most interested in the one the one I chose. Also, everyone in my group was really cool and nice. We were the smallest group, and we were all pretty laid back. We all introduced ourselves in a systematic fashion, which was nice and didn't cause too much anxiety. Our leader (we nominated leaders of each group) is a major is securities, and plans to transfer to the same college as me as CC. It was fun. We talked about stuff like torrents and viruses, and it was fun (well, actually I didn't talk much, but I enjoyed the conversations.) We nominated our group leader for vice president, and he won. I was glad because he seems like a good guy, and he seem like he would be very good for a leadership type of role. Our compsci teacher also brought cookies and refreshments to the club, and they were really good. She home-cooked the cookies, and they were awesome.

Definite social anxiety, at least a few prominent avoidant-schizoid traits. Plus other general confusion and strangeness.

I love it when professors make groups based on interests, rather than making students form the groups! It makes sense, and makes it a lot easier on anxiety.
