My First Week in my Telecommunications and Internet Technologies Class

I never thought I'd say this, but my first week wasn't exactly a walk in the park. I have a few things against me:

• The instructors had a "European" English accent, the kind that girls in the US probably think is cute. I find it hard to understand them, given that I grew up watching Hollywood.films. I bet it wasn't easy for my American classmate as well, who by the way, is from Kansas. Yes, think of Dorothy and Toto. Howdy pardner!
• I was the only one with a non-IT background. The rest of my classmates graduated from Internet Technologies, Computer Networking, Electrical Engineering, etc... courses. When it was my time to introduce myself, I managed to blurt out that I graduated with a Chemical Engineering Degree and have no background in IT. I did say that I have a very strong interest in learning about telecommunications and internet technologies. That managed to draw some looks that seems to say"Huh?! Are you sure you want to be here?!"
• Hunger. The moment I leave work, I have to move it and get going. I have an hour to get to class.It turned out that my classmates don't seem to mind not eating. I can't do that. Food is my fuel. It gives me energy for physical and mental work. Our class is from 6pm to 9pm, and it seems like we have nor breaks. I need to eat something while I commute to class. A sandwich... maybe a nice juicy burger. There is just no other way to do it if I want to arrive in class on time.

These are a few of those things. It seems I have a lot of catching up to do....

So let's go! (in Zohan accent)
