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.

(Sorry there is no funny photo here, I promise I will update it later! I'm posting from a different computer and I don't know how to work Apple computers!!:)

Whelp, I'm back at Mizzou! I feel bad that I haven't posted in two days, but I have been pretty busy packing or sleeping! Yesterday I drove to Lambert Airport to pick up my man friend (we'll call him Josh, I'm changing names) and it was SO good to see him again! We drove back the two or so hours back to campus and dropped him off at his apartment before I went to move in at the sorority house! Last semester I was in a dorm since I am a freshman, but this semester I decided to move in-house! So far I would say I will get along with this roommate WAY better than the random dorm one.

The day was not perfect, however. I went to get my bike from the dorm where I had left it, planning to take it over to the sorority house. To my disdain, someone stole my bike basket. It was a nice, big, sturdy one. I am less upset about having to purchase another one than I am about having to take an hour or two to reinstall it. But hey, thinking optimistically, at least they didn't steal my whole bike (although it has a good lock so they didn't have the option).

The other thing that happened that was less than desirable is that when I got into my new room in the house it appeared that my sisters who had been in the room last semester had never. moved. out. All their things were still out as if someone were still inhabiting it. Nothing was in boxes. So when I came home to Columbia all prepared to set up my new room and get unpacked and comfortable, I couldn't because there was barely enough room to even set my luggage. Even more frustrating is that I waited and waited for the girls to come move their things, and two of them did within a few hours. The third girl still hadn't come by 9pm, so luckily I went over to Josh's and spent the night. Otherwise I would have had to sleep on the floor of my own room because her bed was still made! I did hear from my roommate this morning that the girl had come late last night and moved.

Still, I am so excited to be home even though it is bone cold! I have so much to do, though. Today I am spending the day with Josh and we are going to the grocery store so I can cook him a great dinner:) I also have to pick up my books and later tonight attempt again to settle into my room. Hopefully late tonight my roommate (we'll call her Rebecca) and I will go shopping for some things for our room. I forgot that the house rooms don't come with any furniture besides a bed! As of now I have nowhere to put my clothes and books for school! We plan to get a rug and curtains to spice it up, too. Anyway, busy busy!! Good luck any Mizzou students on our first day back tomorrow!
