The first day of class is always painful – trying to get out of the ‘vacation mode’ and back to study mode (hey at least I’m trying!), trying to crack the screen where the snooze button appears, long lines at Starbucks waiting to get your caffeine fix before classes being and all of this while trying to be on time. Its even more crazier when you are taking classes within a few days of arriving at a new city, new surroundings and new people and more so if your time is being focused towards putting a roof over your head and not exactly relaxing.

Hult Mod C in San Francisco has now officially started. More about the Hult San Francisco campus is a separate post. The campus is now under the strongholds of construction and in the efforts to ease the pain for the students, management has decided to host a few classes in the meeting room of the nearby Le Meridien hotel. Its a huge room and tables and chairs are lined up. There are pens, pads and even mints set out for those in attendance – good so far.

Now I’m not a picky person in general but one thing that I refuse to accept in this day and age is a slow internet connection. The Le Meridien is a decent spot but then again there is no cell phone reception and the wifi is just ridiculously slow. I spent the whole of 2 hours trying to open up 5 websites repeatedly attacking the refresh and enter buttons and throwing obscenities at the screen. To me, personally, not addressing the consequence of about 70 people accessing the same internet connection is inexcusable – especially when you are out here to get a education and especially when the subject you are taking requires you be connected TO the internets. Granted its only the first day but if i have to sit through one more class without a decent internet connection i’m going to have to talk to a few people.

Well this only being the beginning there is plenty of good and bad in store I’m sure and its just a matter of time before they all present themselves. But in the end of the day 6 weeks is most likely to go by in the blink of an eye. Lets do this!
