Wednesday 1
okay, yeah, back to sunday. It rained so we ate at commons and had an assembly and heard rules and went to bed. Short version
Monday
Got up at like 6:00 I guess, took a shower, went to starbucks with alyssa (the other early riser) at 6:40 or something. Came back to the suite and went to commons for breakfast, had checkin, saw Allie and went to Mythology in the Cross Campus Library. Teacher is Kelly she's nice. Played get to know you games and had overview, typical first day stuff.
Went back to the Quad and then to Existential philosophy with Brendan (he's really insane). Existential Philosophy is so awesome, today we discussed/debated the question What is love? except it was more Why love? It was a pretty sketchy discussion at times.... yeah, I don't think I'll post that here. It's sketchy, very sketchy.
Then lunch with the living group... I like the living group, its diverse but we all understand each other really well. Then there's assembly and then my Acapella class (5 girls, one's chinese and doesn't know any american songs even though she's lived here 3 years. And not like, doesn't know the words, like has never heard any american song. Its weird) Anyway, Misha's the teacher for that and he's... interesting. Really into pop music. He's kind of confused about what to do with only 5 people. More on that later.
then, we walked around town some I guess, and ate dinner at commons... and had check-in and went to Phunk Phenomenon (this really amazing dance troupe that does hip-hop, salsa, tap, and break dancing all rolled into these shows that they take to inner city schools to teach about drugs and violence and respect and stuff like that see. But they're really amazing. And then we check-in and went to bed exhausted.
Tuesday
I've been practicing whistle everyday too. I forgot to mention that. My 5 songs, Hag at the Churn, Lilting Banshee, Butterfly, Rights of Man, and Morrison's jig. Yay! Anyways, tuesday I woke late, like 6:40 but so did everyone else so I was still first in the shower. Then I went to Gourmet Heaven cause I wanted Green Tea... and I also bought some pineapple from the buffet cause its ooo so good. Then I came back and went to breakfast. We studied creation myths (I got Norse and Egyptian) in Mythology and started on Kierkegaard in EP. The absurdity of god mostly. I'll explain that to you sometime. That and objective thought vs. subjective thought and its effect on one's perception of existence.... yeah its soo awesome.
then lunch and assembly and Acapella where we played the Cranium humdingers (you get a card with a song and you hum it and everyone guesses. They'd never heard of Auld Lang Syne how sad is that?!) Lalala what else. we went to the bookstore... and hung out on the quad and played cards with random people. When it got too dark to see we played Never Have I ever with this kid Matt we met. I forget where he's from. Then it rained and we walked around in it and I spun around in circles. Then we went and changed and went to check in and went to bed. Woot! I'll do today's enttry tmrw. I'm sick of typing.
