Had my first class last night. My first impression of the teacher is that I like him, which is good since he's also teaching my other class on Saturday.

MCTC has a parking garage, and there are two lanes to go in. I have decided that they need to designate one lane for people who buy parking cards, because they save you 25% of the parking cost, and you just swipe it on the way in, and one lane for everyone else. And by everyone else I mean the people who have a handfull of crumpled ones that the machine won't take, or only have a $20 and make the attendent dude run from the office out to their car to get it and then run all the way to the office to get change, or who don't even know if they have the $3 and start rummaging for it after pulling in. And of course these people are all doing this within minutes of when night classes are supposed to start.

*pout*

But how was class? I was hoping you were going to regale us all with stories of typographic goodness! Or that you were at least going to regale ME with these stories.

Of course I will regale you with stories of typographic goodness! But since it was the first class it didn't get much more interesting than "This is a serif font, this is a sans-serif font, this part of the letter is the stem, this part is the ear, etc"
One cool fact was that serif fonts are easier to read in printing which is why books & newspapers generally use it (I knew this) but that sans-serif are easier to read on the computer (I didn't know this, but thinking about it I realised that I subconsciously did it already)
