Back to School
Back to school for the Spring semester....
Moved into my dorm room last night. No sign of a roommate for the time being, though there's a name on my door. I'm still considering the arrangement of my stuff and which side of the room I'd prefer. Lazyness, though, makes me not really want to move. And weighing pros/cons so far hasn't made it any easier. XD I'll figure something out this weekend, anyway. Really, though.. I think it kind of comes down to whether or not I end up with a fridge. Chances are that I will...
I sort of want to flip my bed over (it would put the mattress higher). On the off chance I wanted to store stuff under my bed, I guess. But, I can't do that by myself.. I would have to take mattress and box springs off frame (I could probably manage) and then actually taking the bed apart... I'm pretty sure the frame the mattress sits on needs to be flipped over in relation to the flipped over head and feet. Theoretically, I could manage it on my own, although it would be hella awkward and difficult. I don't have any tools, though.
I'm thinking I should bring the area rug that formerly lay on the floor of my bedroom, and put it here. Maybe the room would echo slightly less. My laughter sounds so weird and loud to me when I actually laugh out lout at something. :<
I should also get a desk chair instead of having to use the dorm chair... there probably isn't a point it wouldn't come in handy (except maybe when I'd have to take all my stuff out of the room...) and it would be much more comfortable.
Walking to my first class this morning... I felt so.. out of place. Just this litany of "What am I doing here, I don't have a major, I don't have any idea, I don't feel like I belong, what am I doing, why am I even taking an art class, whats the point." -.-
Probably mostly nerves, and the fact that I hadn't given the school any money or even gotten school books yet. It's better now, starting to feel more like a continuation of fall. After that first class, I took care of paying for tuition, getting my new ID card, changing my meal plan and getting books. All that's really left is making at least one room/board payment... if not going ahead and giving them the money for the whole semester so I won't have to worry about it. It can at least ease my mind regarding how much money will be left in my bank accounts.
Anyway, just two classes today. Both simply went over the syllabus/books & supplies needed/what would be done in class/how grades are considered.
First was my Foundations 1, Drawing class. It's long. 9a-11:50a, 3 hours. But the teacher encourages students to take a break partway through class, like a couple of 10-15 minute breaks or one half-hour break. Drinks allowed, cellphones don't matter... seems fairly easy going atmosphere.
English Comp 2.. just a lot of the same type of homework I had in English Comp 1. Considering its the same teacher, not surprising. Just learning about writing good research papers making good arguments.
Seems sort of silly now that I was nervous about the classes before they started. :/
However, I expect a repeat on some of the nervousness for tomorrow's classes. >_>
Especially Theatre. Or maybe specifically just Theatre?
There's to be a Pajama Party in my dorm's lobby tomorrow. xD
[edit] ..I forgot to mention. Caused, I assume, by the previously mentioned nervousness, my dreams seemed to revolve around my unknown roommate showing up and me subsequently being late or totally missing my Art class. ... However, in at least one of the dreams, me and the roommate were totally BFFs from the start. In a different one the roommate seemed to be an immature brat who couldn't let me get dressed in privacy. And for some reason my family was around.
