biology, chemistry

biology....is a pain...wow...chemistry...is by far my favorite subject [no thanks to my high school teacher].

it's snowing.

oh yeah, it's snowing.  we got about 2" last night, pretty sweet, huh?  i know, you're all jealous.  i'm pretty excited, not gonna lie.  today would be awesome, if i didn't kinda tick off one of my very good friends last night.  so even if that person isn't going to read this, i'm sorry.  i'm very sorry.

it's raining...

It's raining; gross.  It's raining, but it's not quite warm and it's not quite cold.  It's right in the middle.  Which is annoying.  this is western NY, after Halloween, it's supposed to be snowing non-stop.  Whatever.  Wet pant legs are by far my biggest pet peeve [yup, they even top the list before my brother.]  

Since I've mentioned pet peeves, let's dive into some of my other quirks.  

I don't like being in a classroom alone, especially the lecture hall.

Boats scare me.  I think I'm going to fall off and drown, even if I'm wearing a life jacket.

Waffle and chocolate ice cream sandwiches are the best desserts you can make in a dining hall.

...more to come later.

halloween.

Apparently once you get to college, Halloween becomes cool again.  Granted I didn't get into the spirit or dress up, I did claim to be a "high school student" when asked the question 'what are you?'  Whatever... People actually dress up, or down, which ever you like.  There's fun, safe activities... like the haunted house in the gym, where they broke a window.  Or you can drive to the next town over and pay for their haunted house, where they make you walk thru and dark hallway and up and down stairs with strobe lights.  See; fun and safe.

One thing they don't do around here though, is goosey night.  Or, uh, mischief night.  No one calls it goosey night, except for me, and I don't even know where I got that term from.

tuesday.

normally i'm not a fan of tuesdays, since i have every class plus my uber boring biology lab, but today was unusually better.  why? 

well if you were thinking it had something to do with the fact that we got out of chemistry early, that might be it.  

     if you were thinking it had something to do with the fact that we got a break during sociology,       that might be it.  

    if you were thinking it had something to do with the fact that we watched a video in english so       i didn't have to listen to my teacher's annoying voice for 50 minutes, that might be it.  

but all in all, it's because today is the first official snowfall of the season.  ok, so it's not sticking and it's not even that cold, but it's still snow.  and i love that.  

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.

welcome to college life 3.

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!
