welcome to college life 4.

Well we are now past the one month mark, and low and behold, I am actually starting to enjoy it here.  My parents brought up the Jeep last weekend, which has already proved itself useful.  So I'm pretty happy about that.  Today my friends and I are planning a trip into the next town over to go to not-Wal*Mart and Wegman's.  I'm pretty excited; not gonna lie.

Classes have been going pretty well so far.  I've successfully passed all three of my exams so far.  That's the funny thing about college, they don't call it a test, but rather an exam.  Whatever, they're still annoying.  

English is.....well it's english.  It makes me miss last year's AP Lang like crazy.  Sociology is pretty cool, my teacher never ceases to surprise us.  Biology is not as hard as I thought it would be.  The only down side is this one lab project that we're doing.  We have to grow plants for the entire semester and chart their growth and lots of other stuff.  Oh joy.  By far, my favorite class has to be Chemistry.  Not only do we get to blow things up in class, but on Thursday mornings when I have to be in lab by 8:20, at least there is an extremely cute TA to help us out.  Hehe, yeahhhh...

Well, life of a college student, enough said.  I've off to breakfast now, then going shopping later.  Fun fun.

First of all, thanks for the comments, they make me feel better.  Second of all, these last two days have been excellent.  Each day just keeps getting better and better.  That's not to say that I can't wait to go home and see my family and friends, and of course, my Joseph.  But I'm doing a lot better here.  Today was good.  This morning, one of my floormates asked if I wear colored contacts, I said no, she said that was "impressive".  Implying that I have nice eyes, not a bad way to start out the day.

But the icing on the cake has to be this: next weekend is parents' weekend and my parents are bringing up my car.  Ok, well it's not actually my car, it's my dad's car.  But he's getting a new truck for work so I can have his Jeep [which by the way is the best car in the entire world.].  The fact that my parents are going to sell Fratelli [what I have affectionately named my truck] doesn't bother me all that much.  A Jeep is going to be so much easier to parallel park than my tank of a truck.  So now I won't be stuck in the middle of Nowhere, NY.  Awesome.  And I can go to WalMart.  Even better.

There's so much to do here, so now I'm off to see Get Smart for $2, can't beat that!

well things seem to be getting a little better.  I no longer wake up with the thought of "oh crap, I'm still here."  No, instead I wake up thinking "yes, one day closer to going home."  Still not the best outlook on life, but hey, I felt content before 11:00 this morning, we're making progress.

One thing I've learned, however; is that college students master the art of multi tasking.  Now I'm not just saying texting your buddy while you watch tv.  No, we college students are able to: do laundry, homework, blogging, and IMing....all at one time.  No joke.  

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that all dark, stormy, rainy, heavy clouds....really do come with a silver lining.  Yeah, that sounds good.
