the big difference between high school and college for me is the class sizes. i am in multiple classes of 500 people, and it's strange not personally knowing the teachers. i frequently send e-mails with questions. the professors are usually polite and respond quickly with the answers. then i stay after class and ask them more questions. they never put the name to the face. no one knows who i am, and no one knows how hard i am trying to succeed except me. if i ask the teachers for a favor, they will say no since we don't have any personal experiences-- even though we have been communicating over e-mail and after class multiple times.
it's just weird to me. i know the professors, yet they have no idea who i am. there is no connection. it's almost like a ghost student, asking them these questions. in class, if they remember my face, it's a nameless face, and over e-mail, it's a faceless name. i went up into lecture friday and asked a question i had asked over e-mail. the teacher mentioned she had gotten an e-mail regarding the same subject... i guarantee that e-mail was from me.
whatever. someday i will be in a situation where people will know who i am-- at least the people i am directly working with. i will not be a number, a nameless face, a faceless name.
