I have a lot of stuff to say!

It has been a while since I last posted. And during that time a whole bunch of stuff happened. I moved in my dorm, got lost going home (almost made it to Mexico!), started classes, made the travel squad, went to Washington, read Beowulf, and wrote a paper. Oh and yes. I turned 18.

That is a lot of stuff to happen in less than 20 days. But that is college for ya! I'm adjusting. Even though I have been away from home for over a month now, there are still tons of new things that I am exposed to and have to respond to. Everything from parties to getting to class on time without a bell schedule to locking my bike correctly. All new. I feel that I have learned so much already...and have only been to class twice. ;)

I read Katie's blog every day (haven't missed a post); and it's really nice to see that she is going through a lot of the same adjustments I am. Even though she is on the other side of the country. Just goes to show that all college kids go through the same things. Which I am pretty sure I've said before...

You can have fun in many ways. But the most fun I've had at a college function was when me and one of my teammates went to a small dance party and just had fun on our own. Because we are fun people (at least that's what I like to think). 

Social life aside. Class is pretty cool. I only have 3. Literature of the British Isles Pre-1660 (really fun course. The professor obviously loves what she is teaching and makes Beowulf really interesting. Which, if anyone has ever read it, is a pretty mean feat), Anthropology (boring teacher. she just reiterates everything you have already read in the book), and Muir Writing (introductory writing course. I accidentally went to the wrong class room the first day I had this...so many problems. ALWAYS BRING YOUR SCHEDULE). I have 2 lectures and a discussion on monday, Muir Writing (15 kids) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 2 lectures on Wednesday and Friday. Practices in the morning. Meals with the team/suite. Speaking of my suite: they were the coolest people on my birthday; taking time to decorate my door and buy my a giant cupcake and balloons. So glad they are my neighbors this year. 

Long update...yes. I applaud you if you read this all the way through. Peace!
