I can't believe that I am just about to start my third week of college, I actually feel like I have been here for months. It has been a really long and hard week with lots of homework and my first few quizzes. But last weekend was a three day weekend and a lot of people went home including my roommate. Some many people went home that the parking lot next to my dorm was empty besides about 10-15 cars. Saturday I had Work and Learn in the cafeteria for six hours. After that I was too tired and stayed in my dorm and just watched a movie.Sunday was a lazy day and I hung around and did laundry. Monday people started getting back to campus so more of my friends were back.
I did not have to go to my 9:30 class on Tuesday, so I was excited to sleep in, but I still had to go to my math class at 11. I dread going to that class because it is so boring and too easy since it is for people that want to teach elementary math. I then had a break and went to one of my favorite class so far, US History. My professor it great and makes the lectures interesting by getting us involved. The class also only has about 11 people so it makes it easy to get to know everyone in the class. Wednesday morning I have 3 class in a block from 9-11:50. First I have Survey of Professional Media, which is basically an intro to my major (Mass Comm), and my professor for that class is very funny! Because media is in everything we do we get off topic easily but even when we do get off topic, it is still on topic because it some how always relates back to something involved in the media. My next class is LUL which has nothing to report about because its not really a class. My last class of the day is English and my professor for that class is probably about 75-80 years old. He is also one of the rudest people I have ever met. The way he talks to us when we have a question is so rude I can't believe he is still allowed to teach. We have our first essay draft due this coming Friday, so he told us we needed to go to the Writing Center, but we needed to make an appointment because you can not just walk in. I raised my hand since it was the first time I had ever even heard of us having a writing center. When I asked if he had of knew where I could find the number for the writing center he proceed to tell me in an annoyed and condescending tone "Are you seriously asking me that?! Do I look like your secretary?" I'm pretty sure I turned pale white out of fear that he would kick me out of class, i said "I'm sorry..I just didn't even know we had a writing center..." "Well didn't give you all this information and a packet with everyone's phone number in it at orientation?" In my defense the whole class replied no. All of my other professors are very nice and are willing to answer any questions we have (no matter how stupid). But on Friday he ignored me when I raised my hand to ask a question, which I find immature.
Thursday I had my first water polo "practice" and we scrimmaged the local JOs team SLAP. It was soooooo nice to get back into the water but it was sooo weird because we played in an indoor pool. It was so hard to hear all the girls and the fact that I don't really know who they are and their voices so the echos of being inside made it really hard to play. But I had a few good steals and an almost shot. The girls seem like they are going to be a lot of fun to hang around with.
This weekend my roommate left again so I had the room to myself, which is really nice, but gets kind of lonely as well. Because when I don't have anyone to go to a meal with she isn't here to go with me. So Friday night I hung out with my friend Abby and we went to her friend Michael's dorm and hung out with the "4th Floor Guffy Guys." They are pretty awesome, we mostly play video games and watch random YouTube videos. Saturday I was with some of the girls from my dorm who live on the bottom floor. We went to QuickTrip, which is basically 7-11 but a little bit better, and I got a milkshake there. It sounds really weird, but it is awesome. Then we went back to the dorm and watched Mean Girls and Bad Ink.Today I mostly just hung around working on some homework and then went back to Guffy with Abby tonight. (That's why this is being posted so late)
Anyways I wanted to show you a little bit of what my campus looks like so attached is two pictures. One is of Irwin (The dorm I live in) the other is a picture of Evans Commons (which is a rec center and one of our cafeterias, it is also attached to our basketball gym). I will take more pictures throughout the week so you can see the campus better. Also I will take a picture of Mr. Reed, the ground hog my friend Morgan and I named!
