I know sociology was a day ago, now almost two, but I want to record how it went.

It was okay.

I actually started off in the wrong class, and advanced CS class. I wasn't late to sociology, though. The rooms were right next to each other. I came into the class right on time, but all the desks were taken except for 2, both of them in the corner near the projector, and with the crowd of kids who didn't exactly look like they cared too much for the subject.

I took a seat anyway, and tried to be as friendly as possible, but I didn't feel like I was overly welcome with them. The seat in front of me was still not taken, and right after I had settled down, a girl came in and sat in the seat in front of me. Apparently she had been in the wrong class too, as she said something about them giving her the wrong room number or something. She put her books on my desk, and was talking to me, but I was so shocked by all the interaction that I was basically just smiling and agreeing with everything. Then I handed her her books from off my desk after she was settled, and she thanked me.

She was very verbose to the teacher through the lecture, so I didn't feel too awkward that she had talked to me.

We had to take a pretest for the teacher to get an idea of what we knew. She also asked which of us had what background(if this was our first year, if we had sociology before, etc.). I thought the test was pretty easy. I had read the Wikipedia article on sociology before, and I remembered some of the stuff, and was able to reason through most of the rest.

I turned in my paper right after the girl in front of me, though, which is always unnerving for me. I feel like the teacher is going to think I cheated. Especially if both she and I do good or get similar scores, I feel like she will think I cheated. I don't know exactly how I did, but it seems like I did good since I most of the answers seems fairly apparent to me. I only hope that everyone did good so that she doesn't look suspiciously at me when she knows I am only technically a senior in high school, and I make a good grade on the pretest over something that I should have never seen before (but I do analyze people all the time, so I feel like I have at least some experience in the field, but how do I explain that to her if she asks? "I watch people a lot and have developed theories of society because I think it is necessary for me to integrate and interact with it." I would look like a loon.

Plus, at the end of the test, someone behind me tapped my shoulder a few times, apparently wanting me to give them answers. I don't know if they had been copying me the entire thing, but it would be silly to copy someone on a pretest, and I was hiding my answers like I always do, so I doubt that was the case.

I also met a guy with the same first name as me, which is fun because my name is semi-rare for guys in this generation. She was calling roll, and my name was a few after his, and we exchanged looks and smiles. From what I could tell in the class, he was a decent guy, and I would be friends with him.

One of the guys in the corner though, who I didn't particularly like and acted rude to the teacher walked out behind me. I held the door for him, and surprisingly he thanked me.


Sorry mods who have to approve these, I just really want to write, and writing in word seems to block my flow. I guess I could type it here and transfer it over, but I don't mind it being public, and I kinda like the thought that others may be able to read it and be interested.

You might be worrying a little too much about the teacher being suspicious about you cheating. The teacher will probably just assume you know information about sociology because you are interested in the topic and that is why you took the class. Plus, like you said, it is a pretest and I do not think she will be focused on cheating during a pretest.
