Life as a college student
I have been here for almost 4 weeks and I still don't really feel like a college student, although things are getting better. The days here are incredibly long and exhausting. It takes all I have to stay up till 12. Over the weekend I went to 2 of the Cardinal games and it feels like it was a month ago. On Friday I went with Jenn (my roommate) and on Sunday with John (family friend from Texas, who came for the 4). I am really enjoying having Jenn as a roommate. We have this unspoken bond, where we support each other no matter what and it is working out well. She does like to play loud music and movies while she studies and I have trouble concentrating then.
Schoolwork
I had my first Spanish test on Monday and I got a 100% I was in heaven, so I bought myself a huge peanut butter brownie. I had to give a presentation in Game Theory on Soma Cubes, and everyone was trying to concentrate on them so much that they didn't listen to what I was saying so I had to say it over again, but it wasn't too bad, at least they had fun. My first 5-page college paper was due today. I wrote it on Affirmative Action and it was not so good, but I'm so glad its over with.

This week Ed and Joey were shown my ugly side, they completely disrespected me and I was quite upset. However thats over and we are all good again. I am beginning to spend more time with everyone and I am beginning to find people who aren't as interesting as others. However there shouldn't be any problems. I still love my visual roommates and could spend all my time with them. I also had dinner with Taryn and Ian twice this week. They are in my Game Theory Class and I always laugh really hard when I'm with them. I still haven't become super close with anyone other than the VRM.
Family Life
Sometime last week my brother told me he missed me, and I almost wanted to cry I was so happy. Before I left, he kept telling me how excited he was that I was leaving and how he couldn't wait until I was gone. (I know what a jerk). I think mom is having a hard time as well as Dad. I'm really looking forward to them coming for Homecoming. I enjoy being independent and by myself, but I still really miss them.
Today I went swimming. The swimming pool is the reason I came to DU, it is absolutely gorgeous and perfect. The strangest thing happened this week. I was walking back from picking up lunch and I had a lipton iced tea in a glass bottle and I was shaking it in my hand. I had this sudden urge to slam the bottle to the ground and watch it crash into a million pieces. Then I thought, I'm always a good girl, why don't I just do it and wondered why I hadn't done it before. Then I thought if I did do it, I would have to clean it up or someone else would and I wouldn't want anyone to do that, so I didn't. However it was a really wierd situation.
