TRUE STORY
So I totally looked like an idiot when I powerwalked/half-ran into town from campus in under ten minutes, believing that I was going to be late for a scholarship event, and found out that the event had been canceled, according to the nice lady in the restaurant. And then as I slowly, miserably, and dejectedly began to make my way back to campus, I called my (awesome) roommate to tell her that I would be late getting back, forgetting that she and I were in the same scholarship organization and that she of all people would know about events, and she told me it had been moved to a building on-campus.

So I again powerwalked/half-ran back to campus, to burst in the door at exactly the meeting time (thank god that they changed the time when they moved the event). I then proceeded to guilt trip the guy who told me about the event and gave me the wrong place/time in the first place, we laughed at me, and I ate Ben & Jerry's ice cream to make myself feel better. It all ended up working out okay.
Also true story within this true story: Yesterday was August 31st, and on my way back to campus, it was so cold I could see my breath. Oh, upstate New York...
So how are you all doing? My laptop is still being very stupid, and so I am definitely taking it to Tech Support after my 1:20 class (no excuses!) and seeing about the wireless, as well as inquiring about getting an Ethernet cord to jack straight into the phone line. That would probably be better for me in terms of getting Interwebz in my room, at least, especially since I have received information that our student wireless is slow anyway. Sigh.
I'm starting to get a good sense of my schedule. It is packed. I may have to start cutting back on Internet time, and that may mean dropping an RP. D:
In other news, I am learning to like coffee. And vegan food. :D Beans are freaking delicious and healthy. I'm not saying I'm going to go vegetarian, but I do plan to start incorporating much more plant food into my diet. We have great organic options in the dining hall.
I tried out for the university chorus! The music director loved me--secretly, I wondered how good the choral program could be, because my sight reading was a little wonky and my voice was totally dehydrated, and we were still discussing my chances of getting into the chamber choir (elite). Then I wondered if that was just my bad self-esteem, since we have a large and active choral program here and a lot of great independent a capella groups as well, and maybe I am just that good. I've never considered myself to be "just that good" because I've always been behind the amazing and fantastic people from my high school who are going to be music majors and do all sorts of amazing things. IDK. [/self-deprecating prattle]
People are great here. I really love it. C:
