More Pics

See, I told you I would put more pictures up. Really. So this is part of my campus, right outside an entrance to my dorm hall, because really that's about as far as I was willing to walk with my computer in tow. Remember? No computer cable... hopefully coming soon though!


Some of the residents halls



The Library in the distance. All brick. Very nice.


Outside of my dorm hall! Evans Hall. Yes. "Home"

In other news my first Friday night of college was spent bumming around, walking around the large lake (pond?), & exploring the athletic center here with the intent to play raquetball with my roommate. Needless to say they apparently close at 9? Lame. So we came back and had a room party with two of our hall mates. AKA watching stop motion vids, painting nails, and attempting to add more decor to my room, and wearing lab goggles, all night...

Other than that a quick update on college life! So I had 5 classes; Old Testament, Person in the Psychological Context, The Great Conversation (like debate/ english class?), The Examined Life (philosophy), and Discovery (an outdoor program). Well the first days of class I really loved everything, and everyone, especially the professors, were so engaging and interesting! However I was already overwhelmed with homework. Yuck. ie: last night I stayed up until 2:30 and woke up at 7:30 to do psych hw I didn't even finish. Basically it's just a lot of reading, but I want to do well and learn everything well! So I decided to drop the Psychology class - which by the way has never been taken by Freshmen before because it's not intended for them...? Hopefully now I will have time to do my homework well and become as knowledgeable as I can in each of my remaining subjects. Yes? Good plan? I think so. Maybe even have a social life?

Speaking of social life I've made some fun friends here despite 24/7 studying. My roommate and hallmates are great and it'll be nice to meet others too! That's all for now, but definitely more to come! After all, I am trying to become better at blogging!
