"i've got a cute face chubby waist...rump shakin both ways, make you do a double take"
so, i got back from orientation today, and i think that it went pretty well. yeah, we had all that dumb shit like "keene students should be hard-working and self-motivated, blah, blah, blah"... the same stuff we hear since elementary school about how in the next level you can never slack off and succeed. other than that, though, everything else was totally helpful. we spent a lot of time going over course selection and making up a schedule, which was great, and i am SO glad that we were in the first orientation group so i got the classes that i wanted. i was signed up automatically for bio 101, essay writing (mandatory for ALL incoming freshman) and sociology 101, which i think should be interesting. i also signed up for intermediate spanish 201 and fundamentals in speech, which sounds pretty cool. i want to become more articulate in how i talk, so i think i might take logical argumentation next semester. i'm trying to figure out what i want to do, and i'm playing around with different ideas. i might major in communication, and i think i might try to minor in spanish and/or holocaust studies because the courses seem really interesting, and i would love to be bilingual. i also found out about the work study program... i don't know what i want ot do yet... i could do daycare, but i don't know if i could handle that much of the kiddies... every other day with our kids is pretty much enough for me. i'll figure it out. people at keene are really nice, too, although a lot of the girls at orientation were MADDDDDD skinny and i was like, "wow, you are like... my thigh". lots of preppy kids, but i met some nice people, too. i hung out mostly with these kids jamie, tyrel, and paige, and paige ended up rooming with me because my roommate was really cool and decided to not show up. nice life, brittany, whoever you are. i can't wait to find out who my roommate for the year is... tad nervous, too, not gonna lie. but, yeah, i'm definitely feeling more confident about this whole deal, so it was good for that. and i had a good time with our free time... we had this "social", which was actually pretty cool because not a ton of people went to that, and it was fun to be at a dance that wasn't a total grindfest. did the dance contest thing, and that was muy entertaining. and jamie, paige, and i actually met up with a couple of guys, cade and dan who like invited themselves up to my room where we hung out until like 1. yeah, i appreciated paige because she was like, "wow, you guys have a long walk, 'cause we're on the fourth floor here" because dan was talking about how his cell phone was going to wake all of us up in the morning... uncomfortable because i was like, "um, where are you planning on sleeping?" at that point, paige hadn't decided to stay over yet, so i had an empty bed, and dan was like, "oh, they probably wouldn't care or notice, and i hate my roommates because they're stoners, so i could totally stay here" = why paige is my hero. that's pretty much all... tomorrow is our psych party... we're all coming as a disorder because, um, yeah, it's not really a class anymore. i'm ocd = i took a belt and velcroed hand sanitizer and lotion and lens cleaner to it and am putting that shit in my dad's gun holsters... and doing everything three times. i'm pretty cool, i don't know if you've heard. well, i should be heading to bed because tomorrow is also preschool graduation!!! i'm so excited... love you all!
