First day update--edjumacatin'

Parking is ludicrous. By nine, people are reduced to sharking.
The Chicano/a in the Arts looks interesting. And Los Lobos are on the syllabus. I didn't ask about Jhonen Vasquez or Robert Rodriguez yet.
Women in US History is in a lovely museum-like building, and I was going to take a photo. I'll try to remember tomorrow. The teacher is energetic and very personable.
Western Civilisation is being taught like we're first year students in the Paper Chase. It has shifted The Chicano/a in the Arts from the 'first to bump' bubble. However, she went out of her way to see that we didn't have to buy books the first week. (She has a collection of primary sources in PDF.)

What is "sharking"?

And are you talking about SF or SJ?

I am, in fact, talking about DA. (De Anza)
Sharking is when you circle the parking lot relentlessly for an empty spot, and eventually start following people who are walking across the lot in hopes that they are going back to their car to leave.

I call that vulturing. We HATES the vultures, yes we do.
