I've been here for a month!! Only eleven more weeks till I come home. I can't wait to see everyone's beautiful smiling faces again. I miss all of them!
Anyways, I felt like this week lasted forever and that Friday would never come. But I hit some milestones in my college experience this week, I had my first college essay due on Wednesday as well as my first test on Thursday. My essay was pretty easy and it was only 4 pages of something that changed me before the age of 15 for English. My test was in US History and it was on the late 1800's. I thought it was okay. It was harder than I thought it was going to be, but it was not extremely difficult. We are now doing probability in my math class. It is so basic I sit in class wondering how some of these people don't already know this.
Other than school I hang out with my friends. It is so weird that I can go out with my friends on a "school night," it's not like we actually go anywhere but to each other's dorm rooms. I feel my friends are now my family, because I do all my night time "family activities" with them. We eat dinner together, sit around and talk, and watch TV.
Lindenwood puts on school events and we must attend so many of them for our LUL class. So this past Wednesday my friends and I went to see a comedy show. I went in not expecting much at all, but it was actually really good. They had a lady who was on America's Got Talent come. I'm not sure what her name was. She was so funny and really great at impressions. But it was fun to be able to go to something fun like that without having to pay as well as being walk distance away from it.
I went to my first water polo practice on Monday. My suite mate Drew and I went together and end up being the only 2 girls at the practice (because we are not in season we practice with the guys and are invited to which ever practices we can make). We got there late because Drew gets out of class late and she is my ride to practice. But the guys weren't really doing anything at practice but playing some games. So we worked on passes and practiced turning each other. After most of the guys left we decided to shoot on goal and two of the guys stayed behind to be our goalies. It was so nice to have a semi-practice. On Thursday we had a water polo scrimmage and I made my first goal since I've been here. I was really excited because even in warm ups before our scrimmage I hadn't made a goal yet.
This weekend was a laid back weekend. I basically hung out with Abby and Jazmin all weekend. Friday after class we went to St. Louis Bread Company (aka Panera, but everyone here gets mad if you call it that). So I got real food, yay! Friday night Jazmin had to work so Abby and I hung out with Jazmin's boyfriend Jackson and we went to Home Depot and stole paint samples to hang in her room. We also went to the dollar store and to Walmart so we could stock up on food. Then we came back and Abby and I had movie night. Saturday I had work for 6 hours so I did that then in the evening it was nice enough to go on a run so I went on a very short run came back and watched more movie with Abby and went to Dairy Queen. Sunday I woke up early(ish) and went on a run. Then I did homework and hung out for most of the day.
I wish I could say that my college life is actually way more interesting than this, but it's not. I feel like it's just like what I did in high school, but I get to live with all my friends. I'm having so much fun and look forward to what adventure each day will hold for me.
Missing all of you
