Waiting and Waiting... and Waiting

Waiting and Waiting...and Waiting

So of course everyone loves when class gets out a little early. And I don't want to complain too much...but I'm going to be a bit of a nerd here and say that I wish my last class hadn't released us an entire half hour early; that's half the class! Of course there is the argument that college is expensive and it would be nice if we got the entire class that we paid for and not just half of it. But of more importance to me is what we can do with that time! The teacher thinks she is so nice for letting us out, but unlike her I can't just go home and be done for the day. My next class doesn't start for another half hour, and that isn't enough time to do anything or go anywhere.

Luckily for me I can blog during this time and it's a pretty good sized time interval to do it in, but I don't want this to become a habit of hers. It just bothers me because I personally don't do as well in school with breaks between my classes, even though thirty minutes really isn't terribly long. Every time I take a break or switch gears my brain has to refocus again when I go to the next class.

I am super pumped for this class to start though! The class starts in ten minutes and its creative writing. With the small class size we actually get to be really hands-on and discuss a lot. Plus there is this really cute guy, and with the size of the class I feel like I have a good chance of him noticing me:) Anyway, the class is letting out now so finally I don't have to be bored to death!

update: I just checked my schedule because I was confused on why it is almost 11am and yet the teacher and students aren't here yet! Come to find out the class actually starts at 12pm, so I actually have another hour to go ugh. Still trying to memorize my class schedule.

School is Nuts

School is Nuts

Where do I start? School is back in session! I moved into the sorority house and have a four person room that I only share with one other sister (two closets each is AWESOME!). I already feel so much closer to many of my sisters just by being in the house around them and doing daily activities with them.

Classes so far seem interesting. A few aren't about what I thought they were, but I still think I can interest and engage myself. I am an idiot and left my planner back in St.Louis so I had to improvise and print off some calendars. I have way too much going on not to keep organized! I am taking a creative writing course to learn to write more fiction since currently the only other pieces I write consistently are freeform poetry. I love how small the class size is; only around thirteen students. I got to know the girl next to me who seemed really nice. I am one of only two freshman in the class, though, which is weird but I suppose with the class size it isn't unheard of.

Of course, it is syllabus week and that means frat parties!!! Last night I went out with my new roommate Rebecca and one of the girls I went skiing with over break who also attends (we'll call her Lorie). We hit up multiple frats, and surprisingly I thought the parties we went to were extremely small in comparison to other parties I have been to at frats, even in comparison to last semester's syllabus week. The last one we went to had run out of all their alcohol except for some unflavored plain vodka, so the three of us all took shots of it! We asked if they had chasers and all they had was a single bottle of water that we passed around. I feel really bad because I was so drunk last night that I spilled multiple of Lorie's drinks on her!! I kept thinking I was standing farther from her than I was. I am excited to say that last night I convinced Lorie to sign up for our informal recruitment, and there is a chance she will be a sister!!! I wish her the best, and I am nervous for her!

It is always just a tad stressful to find the time to write, but once I start I find the words come pretty easily. With school starting again I can't promise a daily post, but I can promise that I'll do my absolute best to not let three consecutive days go by without a word. It's great to see my readership increase, so thank you all, and the only thing I can ask is that sometime someone leave me a comment! I would love to know what you all think of my posts, my subjects, and future ideas of things you'd like to see. Your feedback, positive or negative as long as it is constructive, is greatly appreciated and wanted. Ask me questions about myself or anything you want to know more about for me to expand on!

If you just returned to college, too, I wish you all the best this semester!
