College, anyone?

So, I'm exhausted and have a lot to do, even though it's only my first day. For this reason, while Holly sets up our new printer/scanner/copier/FAX MACHINE (holy god I can't wait), I'm going to re-post the email i just sent to my family.

I got up right on time at 8:58. I ate breakfast with Sara Tenison and a couple of friends she made, then I got on the Route 56 bus and successfully switched the Brown, which took me right to the Agri building. My first class was Environmental Science at 10:30 (not bad for a Monday morning, huh?) I sat by Nick Savin (who lost his wallet, ua id, key fob and $400 bookstore gift card this morning) and Holly, my roommate. My advisor, Dr. Wolf, teaches this class, and he was as goofy as ever. Looking at the syllabus I realized I was excited about literally all the topics we're going to cover. It was a great way to start.

Then I had like a four hour break, so I wandered to the union, where they were giving away free hotdogs! Oh boy! So I bypassed that and went inside, where I ran into Kevin Fitzgerald, whose a year older than I am and was in my forensics class (and was the murderer/my character's long lost brother in the Mousetrap, for those of you paying attention). Basically, I switched into his Italian class and then went to it an hour later. So that was exciting. My teacher is pissy but I think it'll be interesting. I've always loved the language. I learned how to say what my name is, where I'm from, and how I am. Molto bene, grazie!

So after Italiano I picked up some stuff for the drama auditions, which are on Wednesday, which I found out on Saturday. They're for the whole year... I don't know. I hope I'll do okay. It won't be too hard, just nerve wracking. I had about an hour break, where I read the book I have to have done by tomorrow morning ( page 64 out of 300 currently....). Biology was supposed to start at 3:30. Around 3:35, me and about six others realized the Science & Engineering Building is not the Science & Engineering auditorium. So we were late, but it was okay, because the class was HUGE. Really really huge. All we did was go over the syllabus, until the very end, where my sassy handicapped teacher pulled out his guitar and sang us a song about biology. His band is called Mo Brothers.

Then I booked it to the poultry science auditorium for my fellowship meeting. I still don't understand how it all works. But I think I get a stipend check... that's all I really care about right now. I missed an ice cream social for honors kids, though. That was disappointing.

Then I ate dinner with my friend Joe Sagan, who was my husband in Harvey. Dinner was delicious and conversation was lovely.

Now I'm back in my room, procrastinating and talking to Charles Denny, Dylan Holland and my roommate. We're talking about our days and watermelons. Two punk kids in Aldi were ridiculing the watermelon Charles picked out.

Yep.

Miss you!!!
