Day 4 - I am overwhelmed.

I have to keep this blog short if only because I have an entire chapter of chemistry I need to finish and a few hours of coherent time left. I can already feel the edges of sleep creep away at my conscious mind.

So yesterday my roommates and I were having a funny conversation about being handicapped (since we are in, in fact, the handicap room). But "handicapped" is not politically correct, so we were calling it... differently abled? I think.

I think the worst handicap anyone could have is to not be open minded. How often are people proven wrong every day who continue in their ignorance? I know that was a really weird jump in thought, but as I was sitting in Lit&Civ today, I noticed how many things are true that I would have never thought possible. The same is true for science. It's constantly changing, always evolving. There is no set TRUTH, because everything is a theory. No matter how true a theory is in the scientific sense (like the theory of gravity), it can always be proven wrong. Just like the theory of germs. You know?

So keep an open mind the rest of this week. See what it brings you.

(And wash your hands, because swine flu is going around. We want open minds, not open diseases.)

(you know, on the subject of germs...)

Day 3 - I conform ?

I think I spend a good amount of time walking from class to class categorizing people into cliques. They may be walking alone, with another person, with an entire crowd of people... and for some reason, I always judge them. For example, if a girl is wearing a tshirt and nike shorts, I always assume they're sorority girls. If the shorts are basketball shorts, their hair is usually pulled back with a sweatband... and I assume they're jocks. The girls all done up with skirts/trendy shirts I assume are airheads. And for some reason, I find every single one of them intimidating. I can't meet people in a crowd like that. Who is normal? Who isn't?

Which brings me to another topic... define someone who conforms. Every group kind of conforms to their own standard. Where would I be placed? How do you color outside the lines in my case? I had a girly transformation this summer, but a lot of things about me are abnormal. Like my view on relationships with guys, for example. hhahaha. It makes me laugh for sure.

How illegal is it that I'm practically posting this journal online? I'm probably breaking all sorts of laws, but I find this to be quite a stimulating experience...

I feel so far behind on everything. My chemistry book still isn't in and I'm supposed to be halfway though with the chapter. I have 4 more chapters of biology to read by the end of the week AND I'm going on a camping trip this weekend. When am I going to fit everything in? Suddenly my time management skills seem very poor.

I can't believe I'm going to have to keep up with two blogs now. haha.

Good night.

Day 2 - I am tired.

I don't think I'm going to go in order for this wrecking experience. So this will probably be the last actual page of the journal I do in order... just so I can chronicle the pages as I go along. So tomorrow you'll see two (somewhere) on the page. I did my wrecking right as my roommate came in... I briefly told her about my project. Hm.

I just got out of my actual biology class. I really think I'm going to like my teacher-- Professor Hale. She's really young looking, but she's enthusiastic, and that's what matters. She's setting the seating arrangement next week, so I guess I'll actually have to go to class early and get a prime spot semi-front and definitely center.

I love the fact that Clark Hall is RIGHT beside all my classes. And Einstein bagels. Mmmm,. Can you say broke college kid? Actually, I get .99 cent refills with the mug that I bought today, so if I just keep all my change, I'll be all set. I'll make a change bucket or something for my own use :D I have yet to do the groceries... Albertsons is within walking distance. I bought a case of water the other day and walked back with it. Pretty heavy, I must admit, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I'm proud of my lack of arm muscles being able to withstand that weight!

So yesterday I took the hip hop class, and that was freaking hilariously fun. I walked into the classroom thinking, "HOLY CRAP, why are there so many guys in here?" And then the instructor walked in. And everything made sense. She was gorrrgeous. The dance wasn't half bad either :] Not that the guys could actually do it. hey, whatever.

I think I'm out... gonna go experience my first English class. I think I'll start vlogging on the weekends.

Day 1 - Who are you?

So this morning I experienced my first college class. I don't have class for another two hours (which is a good break, I guess, considering I haven't really eaten breakfast) and the nervousness is settling in. I had Mr. Neilson, the chemistry professor. Safe to say he scared the living shennanigans out of me. I have to say, chemistry is nowhere close to being my favorite (or best) class, and he said that no matter how much preparation you had in high school... there is no direct correlation to the level of success in college. Um. Bummer.

I was reading over his notes and they seem fairly basic. Of course, I don't have the book yet (and won't until next Tuesday. WHAT?!) so I can't exactly practice the problems in the mean time. The book store here doesn't have the book in stock either. I guess I'll be bumming off of my neighbors for a little while. Suddenly I'm glad to have a printer in my dorm room.

Oh, about wreck this journal. I guess this page is self-explanatory. There were no crazy fun things that went into it... my roommates weren't even in the room to see me begin to wreck the journal. haha. I blotted out my address & phone number, but rest assured... it really is written legibly on those two lines. I'm hoping not to lose this stinkin' book. It's safely on the shelf I bought at target the other day :D

I suppose I could go finish reading my biology lab. I shall talk to all of you tomorrow, beautiful people.
