Great First Impressions

The first dayy. went well.

I had Global Warming which is a class I'm just looking at to replace one of my others and that was pretty awesome. It would give me much more of an understanding of what's happening to our planet, while fulfilling a science requirement :]

Then I ran directly to Cultures of the Middle East and I'm in love with the teacher of that class. She's middle eastern, I'm not sure from where yet, and is so cute and at the end of the year has the class over to her house for a middle eastern dinner. I got 2 chapters of reading to do for tomorrow and I already knocked that out but it wasn't easy. I'm starting to understand how much reading I'm actually going to have. And it's a lot. A lot, a lot.

I hung outside on a bench until my next class, the first year seminar Technology and Humanity. That was probably my favorite because we didn't do typical first day stuff but actually got into discussion. We had to write down 3 of the most important techonologies in our lives and the most important one of the future. We shared those and had crazy discussions about the list and anything to do with the list. It's a small class of 13 freshman, though, so since we have a class we don't feel intimidated in everyone kind of lays it all out. Which can be good. Or can be a lot of freshman talking at once. 200 pages of reading in that class due in a week. = death.

I know my dad will go through some painful face expressions while reading this but whatever. This morning my roommates alarm went off early so I had to get up and slam that off and then someone was mowing the grass outside my window so I had to tune that out and you know the story can't get much better. I don't even remember silencing my alarm on my phone and woke up when my roommate was opening the door at 9:56 and my class started at 9:55. I didn't know what would be more disrespectful, showing up late or not at all. But then I realized I don't even know where the building is so I just didn't go. I e-mailed the professor asking to meet with him today to apologize and get anything I missed. So, yeah. Amazing.

We have our first real game tonight against Alvernia and then there's salsa dancing lessons tonight so if I'm up for that after I'd really love that. We'll see.

Love you and miss you.
