Campus Life
Well, it's my third day of living on campus ... ever, and I'm having a BLAST ! My roomie is absolutely AWESOME !!!!!!!! and the food is bareable :-) It's really nice to be able to see all my friends whenever I want. It's really nice being able to sleep until ten minutes before class if I want to. It's REALLY nice not having to lug around my weight in books all day (and I still need to buy the books for two more classes, this is the downside of being a science major). And now I can be in all the clubs that I wanted to be in but didn't have time for before! *happy dance*
I am now a proud owner (well, borrower) of Emma's viola (Emma being the concert mistress of DUO :-) That sounds funny!). I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this to myself. I've been playing the violin for six years now but I've never touched the viola before. So this semester should be fun ... a new, MUCH larger instrument, different strings (well, sort of) and an entirely different clef and to top it off, I'm learning to play the instrument as we rehearse for the spring concert ... I think I want to die ... soon.
On another note, Jon is off in Banbury, England. I'm gonna miss him randomly appearing at Drew. I do hope he has a great time though ... off to be a world famous director. I got to talk to him online while I was at work and that was nice. Between him being away and Toni not being in orchestra this is gonna be a sad semester ... I walked into DoYo for orchestra and neither one of them was there! *tear*. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Luke is back from his year in Italy (can I just say how much I hate him for that ... I mean, a YEAR in ITALY !!!!) so Ali and I are gonna have him come visit sometime ... mostly 'cause we both live on campus now so it's only fair that he comes here :-).
Classes are going well so far, the only issue I have is that two people that I don't like (read: loathe, despise and hate with a passion) are in my Bio class. Not one, but TWO !!! Why is life so unfair? Ah well, life goes on. I can't wait for friday. I REALLY can't wait for friday. It's hard to believe that two months have gone by already. It's still a little surreal sometimes. All in all, life is good.
EDIT: Just my luck, my lab partner for bio is one of the girls that I hate. I just KNEW this was going to happen. This sucks!
