This was my first time (Spring 2006) I've ever decided to attend sunday class at college. In the past, I've always tried to attend early morning classes in weekdays since they allow me to finish college by afternoon, come home, rest, and continue on with study in the afternoon. Cost Accounting, or Management Accounting as it is known now a days, was the only class available.

So, while registering for the Spring 2006 semester, I decided to register for this one instead of taking Business Law 2 class that was available on late Friday evenings, though I should have. But, there was something more serious that I was thinking about at the time. Since most of my Sundays are very depressing and are usually wasted away with noise around the house and visits by relatives and family friends, I thought maybe they will be better spent in a class instead.

I never thought for even a second that life will basically remain the same. That sundays will become weekdays, and saturdays will simply replace sundays. I used to study for my classes in the weekdays, but now I am falling into deep depressions on saturdays instead, something that I was trying to escape by making my sundays busy.

I sometimes try to go outside, but usually my saturday's are spent studying or preparing for the cost accounting class the next day. Though I do manage to prepare for this class by saturday afternoon, a sense of fear persists.

The fear that I may not be able to understand the professor the next day (since she's full of shit). This is the same feeling I used to get on sundays, in the Fall 2005 semester regarding my next day (Monday) early morning Intermediate Accounting I class. Professor of that class was same kind (Shitty), as most professors at Queens College are.

Weekend college was an an experiment for me. It's was an experiment somewhat gone wrong. It' has gone wrong because I never realized that I will not be communicating with the professor for 6 other days of the week. This lack of communication leaves many questions unanswered. Most people in weekend college are those who work in same industries, or in the related ones, work full time during the week, so they come into the class with a better understanding of what they're listening to in the class.

Weekend college taught me a great lesson. It is that weekend college SUCKS!. Especially if you're a normal, inexperienced, unemployeed, full-time student. It made me appreciate more the classes that meet 2 to 3 times a week. It helps in getting to know people in your class better. It helps you to easily understand and cover more material in a specific subject over the week with the direct help of instructors than you'd do on a single day weekend class and 6 free days that follow. And fear-factor maters. Having very little time to cover material between classes that meet 2 to 3 times in weekdays helps. I know it's sounds stupid when you look at it from a student's point-of-view. But when you look at it carefully, in the weekday classes, professors don't usually cover a full chapter in one day. It's spread out in 2-3 days. There's always a sweet feeling that remains in the air around you all week long. A sense of security, that you're a page to a chapter ahead of each of your professors in the classes. That sense of security is not there when you're a weekend college student, since you do not meet people in your class very frequently, you develop a communication gap. You're less likely to talk to people when you meet them less than when you meet them more frequently.

What I've said sounds very strange. But it's reality. Most people who have been through college are likely to agree, but if they don't, then they SUCK! Too!….
