How do you make a tissue dance?
Put a little boogie in it!! 
ps: russell here, I would just like to note...I was NOT currently listening to Yanni...I should hit that up though... | | |
| And it's friday! i've never updated my xanga this often in my life probably! Man im good. College does that to you.
So now I have had every class. Let me tell you a little bit about them!
We start off with..World Civ. II (history)...the teacher is nice and seems ok. But the content is definately boring...Its at 9 in the morning. Oh well..I've met a few people in that class and it will be alright. We then head over to Sociology..my sociology teacher is nice and funny and just seems like the class will be fun. Plus, I've already had sociology so that will make it easier. It wont be too bad and the content isnt all that boring. Music and Civilization will be ok I guess. I've really met one person in there. Other people seem kinda cool and I will probably get to know them to. It will be alright I guess...I like music...I just dont know how interesting the teacher is going to be. He is just normal. He also does my freshmen seminar which will be fine I suppose. It's once a week, and for undecided majors. Instead of us looking at different careers in our major (since we dont have one) we will just learn about all the different majors and stuff offered on campus..walk around and get to know all the buildings, find out about financial aid and keeping hope and just all that college stuff. So it should be helpful. My english class will probably be pretty dull...since im in a cluster though, I dont have to worry too much about focusing on all this extra english content. The content we write about and stuff in the english class will deal with music since the teacher works together with the music and civ dude. So that will be kind of neat I guess. It should make the music class easier and it means there wont be any crazy english stuff going on..just learning to write papers better and stuff. The last class I have is fine and applied arts in civiliation (yea..a lot of civ. classes...)..that class..im not so sure about. It is like a sophomore class (2310 I think)..I may be the only freshman in it im not sure. It seems like it may be kind of difficult cuz the teacher is all like "this class has a lot of reading! this has this and this and this! if you miss this, then youre screwed" that kind of thing. Plus, I just dont like how she talks it kind of annoys me.
But...thats my classes! Dealing with the rest of college, things still seem to be ok for now. They didnt revert back to crap. For now im still happy and am starting to somewhat enjoy it some. Im hoping it stays this way and just continues to improve and then finally itll be pretty good I think. Its not as hard as it was though thats for sure. When im sitting in my room im not all completely bored out of my mind and stuff..Ive been meeting people and go to their dorms and stuff which gives me something to do if I dont feel like sitting in here. So, things are looking better still. Maybe if they keep improving I will turn out to love it!
One sad thing though..I wanted to take private piano lessons here since they have them, except I asked about it today and its only for music majors or minors...im still undecided. He said if I am thinking about becoming a music major then I may be able to work something out. Maybe for next semester or something. Until then I can just use the practice rooms on my own and stuff. That should be ok. I printed off some music last night (I forgot all mine at home) and can go practice that for now. But its only 1 song cuz I ran out of paper. I need to get to walmart sometime this weekend and get some paper and various things I still need. I also need to clean up my room and get things more organized so im not all a mess and sloppy for the rest of the semester. And, I need to organize a bookbag and start taking that to class...I think that will help.
One thing I've decided I want to do this year is stay on top of things! I want to do my assignments when they are given like reading and stuff, and maybe even do a bit more if I need something to do! Get ahead! And when we take notes in class, I want to come home and retype them all on my computer. Since a lot of my classes have take home exams, that will make taking the exams extremely easy (search function! no need to look for the stuff!). So, I want to do that too. For now, I probably could start reading some stuff, but I dont have my books yet. I hope they come in soon. I ordered them off amazon. I saved like 200$ but I still have to wait for them to come in and stuff..speaking of that, I think I still need to order like one more book...hmm...well I better go do something. I am going to lunch soon and just wanted to update this real fast while I needed something to do. Hope everyone is having a good time doing whatever it is you are all doing! | | |
| So! Im back for another update. Told you I'd be back. It will probably be quick though because I need to head to bed.
Today classes started. Today has been the best day of college so far. :) I got pretty bored for some time, but it started fine and ended fine so, its definately been the best day. Things are still kinda eh, but hopefully improving. Classes didnt seem bad at all today, and I met plenty of people. I also got to see Anna some today which is a definate plus. So..now, at the end of the day, I am finally going to bed feeling pretty good. I hope things keep improving, I guess I will wait and see. and I know I repeat myself a lot now, but..Im allowed to, because its my thing and theres only like 2 people that read it anyways...lol..so..yea today turned out pretty good. im going to bed with a smile tonight. I havent felt so lonely today. Just part of it but since the rest was ok, that part isn't too big of a deal I guess. Theres a couple things im still adjusting to, hoping improve some, but yea..ok Ill just stop saying the same thing over and over again. Im going to bed, happy. | | |
| Bam! surprise! An update the very next day...I bet you never saw it coming..well..expect them sometimes...cuz here in my dorm, it gives me something to do.
College is still ok...things are looking a tad bit better than yesterday but im still kinda eh about some things. But its looking better. Just gotta keep waiting and giving it time..
So today I woke up, and went to more stuff...I had a meeting with my hall people to discuss the summer book, except we didnt discuss it so it was a waste of time..and then we headed over to listen to the author of the book talk...he was nice, yet I kept finding myself wanting to leave either way. It was redundant and I didnt come back with any new knowledge. After that, I stopped by and grabbed something to eat for lunch, then I just headed back to my dorm...so...I got back to my dorm at like..12 45..and needed something to do..so I left again to go find my classes..I found those, and then went to play piano in the music building...I was back here again about 1 30...and I havent really left since. (its almost 6). I dont really know what to do in here. Anna stopped by for like an hour and it was nice to get to see her. the rest of the time I have just sat around I guess...just got out of the shower cuz ive got a ceremony thing tonight..yay..its 7 15 till 8 30, followed by reception..then there is some foam party thing at 9..I will stop by but have a feeling it wont be all its made out to be ( I mean seriously..its led by faculty) and so..I just have a feeling itll be dull..plus classes start tommorrow. For anyone curious, I have classes 9-12 monday - friday..simple schedule.
I seriously do hope though that college starts looking a lot better once classes start. Otherwise, college is not very exciting. Quite dull actually. Ive met people and all, but like I said yesterday, forcing it is just stupid and wasting time anyways. Ive met plenty already and im hardly trying. Like I said, it just happens.
But yea..kinda a useless update...just felt like it though to waste time before I go eat and have this ceremony...like I said, things are still a little eh but they are looking better. We will find out what happens once classes start! Can't wait! I just gotta keep dealing with it and trying to get used to things until then. | | |
| Thought I died huh! nope! Still alive..but I have moved..twice. Dont remember if my last update was after or before the move to the new house..but...back home we moved to a new house in case I didnt say it...this summer...I like it...Then, I just moved again saturday..to where?
College! I am now writing from my dorm. I am at college...and bored out of my mind...I hear its supposed to get a lot better when classes start and until then its pretty dull...I have a private room which I like a lot..its very peaceful and I do what I want when I want and its no problem. My suitemate is pretty cool but we dont hang out really..he comes and goes, he is just like "whatever" kinda thing...its hardly around the suite though. He is a senior..so, its just like whatever with him. We wont become like best friends but we wont have any problems itll work out just fine.
There is a downside to this whole private room though...its been kinda dull at first. Everyone has a roomie that they are getting to know or hanging out with all the time except for me. Until classes start and people start getting to know each other I am kind of on my own to do the stuff...but its ok. I think I can manage just fine until things improve. Im dealing pretty well with it right now. It was pretty lonely earlier and last night and stuff, but I think it should be ok. Its just..weird I guess...I feel left out a lot cuz everyone goes and finds stuff to do with their roomies and suitemates and stuff..and I can't really..sure I can go try by myself but...thats just kind of weird. So I just sit here alone a lot while other people do stuff. I just need to get used to it and soon classes should start and everyone will start meeting people and everyone will have their own schedules to do and own stuff to do so they wont all be paired up with the roomie constantly so itll be easier to get to know each other and things will work out fine. I think once that happens the private room thing will be pretty sweet..it will be a place of peace where I do what I want and can just relax...like at home..not having to share a room...pretty much everyone has a "private room" at home and they get along just fine and have friends and stuff...so its not like I will be a hermit and lonely forever. Just until classes start and we just naturally all meet each other. I dont really think forcing myself to meet people (or anyone forcing themselves for that matter) is like..something you need to do...we all live here, we will all meet people naturally...you dont have to force yourself into meeting people all the time. It will just happen as you go to class, keep running into the same people, etc. So right now im not too worried about meeting people. I just have to pull through and manage until it just naturally happens. its going to be awkward for everyone until then..especially me (private room thing). But its ok. Im not worried, I think it will happen and have faith. People will go their individual ways. Everything is good :) Once classes start that will help a lot and theres only 1 day of class-less-ness left. I think it will be ok. Once im adjusted to it and everyone else it, things seem like they will be great here.
I like the college, its pretty nice. It has a lot of walking involved back and forth from the halls to the other buildings..but..I kind of like it in a way. It means hopefully I wont get to fat and will at least get in some walking..I will probably rarely take the shuttle. The only bad thing is for now its pretty humid outside and kinda hot..so I get sweaty like everyday. It will probably be a lot nicer in the fall...winter may get cold walking to class...I havent had to walk around in the rain yet but it will probably happen eventually..either way, I like it here. I have a pretty good feeling I will have a lot of fun and like it a lot here once the whole going-your-individual-way-for-everybody starts. And it will just be ok and do-able until then. Nothing terrible. Just need to give it time I suppose.
Anyways, just felt like updating since I havent in quite a while..im here at college..ill let you all (my um..1 or 2 readers..if you even still check it since I rarely update) know how things turn out in a while. Hopefully it will work out great. | | |
