Things
First off I was just kidding about Patrick, i actually do have more friends that just him. Did you click him and play with him? You should.
So I had my first REAL college classes today. I mean I guess I have had 3 classes at Sac City, but those hardly count since the average attendance there was like 12 people, and that is not an exaggeration.
So I had History and my Communication Speech class. We watched like 25 mins of Star Trek in history, and no it wasn't because the professor is lazy or unprepared, he actually had a point, but you kinda had to be there to understand it. Seems like it will be a cool class, especially since I like history.
The Speech class was in the Performing Arts Theatre, so there was probably over 200 people there. I've never had a class that big so that was a little different, but that is only one day a week for lecture, and then we split up for discussion groups on wednesday night. Should be interesting, i'll actually learn how to speak in front of people correctly!
Still no roommate if you haven't heard, I may not ever get one. But actually this is a good thing, because I have two suitemates so it's not like i'm alone or anything and I have my own room! One of the suitemates is pretty sweet, Bawb, as he likes to spell it. Joey is never really around so i haven't gotten to know him much, i have a feeling it's going to be like that with him for the year.
The fellowship gathering was at the MU yesterday and it was really encouraging to get to see all the fellowships come together. I hadn't really met any christians until then so it was really cool to get to worship and learn about all the College Fellowships. Now i just have to start going to them, get plugged into a small group and see which one is for me...I think it's either going to be intervarsity, The Door, or The Edge.
Well I'm a little frustrated with some things right now, for one the internet in our rooms sucks badly. It's going to be a while before that is fixed, because its the first week and the maintenance people are really backed up, so if i'm talking to you on aim and i sign off, now you know why, so don't take it personally! Also we have to have our doors closed....which makes for a really crappy community. THe on campus dorms can have their doors open...but the lax craig hall can't. Apparently if a fire started it would spread much quicker if the doors were open....also they won't even let us have whiteboards on our doors, cause those are firehazards as well....Whitney hall (the dorm that had like half a floor burn down last year) is cool with whiteboards and open doors...so explain THAT logic to me. It may sound stupid but it's nice to be able to just walk by and say hi to people. Now our floor is silent and gives you kind of unwelcoming feeling....
Honetstly I haven't met that many people yet, i know i haven't even been hear a full week yet, but i'm still waiting for it....i feel i've only met my suitemates, and my friends roommates...hopefully that will change....I talked to one of the other RA's and he said things will get heated up and should get better.
Anyways, it may sound like things aren't going well for me, but they really are, i really like being here, i love chico it's such an awesome town. By the way, the whole thing about Chico being a party school? Yeah. It's true. Whew. Man. Every freaking corner on every block. I mean geez i thought i lived in a college town, but you ain't seen nothin til you seen chico downtown at night. Hundred's of people walking around trying to find the next party! Crazy!
Well drop me and e-mail or call me or say hi on aim or something....
