it's been a long ass time since i've updated. it probably won't happen very often. i don't feel like i have time for this crap... especially since no one reads these anymore.
so let's see... the week before college was nuts. sean moved away and left me and andrew alone in his house... which wasn't as awkward as it shoulda been. i cried about sean leaving more than once in the next week. i spent most of the week with andrew. he's the only reason i made it to RC. my parents crapped out and didn't help with anything so andrew took me here to buy books and get all my shit taken care of. he got me to get my new bank account and showed me all around salem so i'd be ready.
i packed everything the night before move in day and some of it the day of. i wrote my paper for my summer assignment the morning before move in. my parents started warming up to me as they realized i was moving out. mom, dad, boo, and andrew all helped me move in w/ a lending hand from jen and amanda's dads. ashley mays is my roommate and we share a bathroom with jen and amanda so there weren't any awkward greetings to be done.
move in went smoothly and the rest of the week was full of gay orientation crap where we were forced to meet people we didn't like to discuss our summer assignment. we worked on the habitat for humanity house, or "R House" as it was deemed by our crazy german president. we sat through welcomes and "don't cheat" meetings and prayed for our death every time the crazy german lady said "ssstudentsss."
then i got sick... like... monday. i got a cold and felt like hell... i'm FINALLY getting over it.
court was last wednesday and i finally got my license back. hooray, hoorah. my parents brought me some things they decided to buy for me, including some reeses that dad picked up for me that mom didn't even know about. it's good that dad and i can speak now. driving's nice... and gas is going down. oh the joy.
i've gotten to do fun shit like going to see the magician that first sunday and the hypnotist last thursday. both were a LOT of fun. i've been enjoying my roommate as well as my two suitemates... but havn't made any new friends. there's people all over the place i know and i can talk to... but no one i have any desire to have any kind of friendship with... but i guess that will come in time.
classes aren't too awfully bad. i have morning classes on monday, wednesday, and friday with 2 evening classes on tuesday and thursday. spanish is 8:30 in the morning with the crazy venezuelan lady who talks so fast and thinks she's in the military or something... but she's actually a really nice woman. the only thing is, i have to TEACH MYSELF ALL MY SPANISH. but i guess this $200 book with all of it's internet components has been handy. music theory has been easy so far. the class is about 13 kids and a professor who thinks he's really funny... but he's not. at least he knows his shit and teaches it in a way i can oay attention to. drama has been... a little out there. the teacher--whom we call by her first name, lisa--has us do yoga-esque activities to relax and "become aware of our bodies" before every class. we haven't done any acting yet... just a lot of "becoming aware" and getting to know each other. my tues/thurs education class is actually going well. i'm enjoying our reading and getting more excited about being a teacher. who knows how that'll go, though. band... i hate. Dr. Blaha is a very nice man... a little too nice... and his hair is a little too crazy for my liking. the music is fine and the people are... well, decent... but i hate the class. it's from 7:30-9 at night when i don't want to do anything, and really, we're so small and insignificant... i just don't like it.
then there's this CCLS thing, co-curricular learning and service, where we're required to do 15 hours of service work-- 5 co-curricular hours, 5-service, and 5 exploratory. wft all that means, i really don't know... but it's a lot of extra work.
i spend some time wandering around alone like the one night i walked about 2.5 miles on the phone w/ shley. walked down to a park andrew brought me to on my birthday. i've found a tree w/ a bench and shade and squirrels on the back quad that i've claimed as my own. i cried to sean under that tree the other day and attempted to do some homework as well. the outside is nice. then it will be winter and i will HATE it.
i've joined my first club in college and i'm actually VERY excited about it. the president is a girl i know from drama who is hillarious. her sarcastic sense of humor shows in most of the other lcub members and everyone is there to have a good time. we do some community service like the "library program" where we go and read to little kids and act out parts of certain books... harry potter books... b/c it's THE HARRY POTTER CLUB. it's awesome! we're going to have a yule ball at christmas time in the ball room. they've already gotten some people to do lights and sound and we're going to have food and blah blah. then we'll be playing quidditch on the back quad and there'll be a sorting ceremony where we all get put into groups... i'm ecstatic.
i got shley to come hang out w/ me last weekend since i was cmopletely alone... and i missed my baby. so we met at the mall and then hung out here for a while. i got her some free food w/ my guest pass and we ate in the commons. i made her wander w/ me through olin hall, the "arts" building i have most of my classes in, and we spent some time in my box-er, room. she spent the night w/ me, went to BK for breakfast, and then she napped while i did a bit of homework.
this weekend is going to be my first time at home. i'm leaving right after my theater class that ends at 2:40 and going home. i'll go to the football game tonight to see the band and then back home since boo's birthday was this week. waking up bright and early tomorrow morning for work 10-5 on sat. then i'm supposed to be meeting kevin and andrew so we can eat dinner or something for a while. sunday is left for spanish homework and reading my book. yay.
so yes... there is how my life has gone for the past 3ish weeks. but i've been babbling for quite some time now, so i think i'll go grab a bite to eat before i head to music theory.
