What's good...

You know what's great. When a class is canceled unexpectedly. I'll give you a mental image: you roll out of bed and you realize you have 10 minutes before class starts, so you throw on some clothes check yourself in the mirror and stumble out the door, only to realize you forgot your books. So you go back to get them and begin your sprint to class. You get there 10 minutes late dreading the looks you'll get from fellow students who didn't forget to set their alarms....and lo and behold: SIGN ON THE DOOR!!!! You feel a weight lifted and you sigh aloud a sigh of relief and smile to yourself. Yes its awesome. Not to say that I don't like my classes, but when one is canceled it's like a little gift that you didn't expect or money that you found in your pants pocket. It's only happened to me twice, but its like most things of this nature...you kind of want it to be rare, that way it stays special.

I'm Back

Hey everyone...with Thanksgiving on the horizon teachers have been eagerly  handing out extra work, or at least it seems that way. So I've been busy busy this past week. In fact the whole past weekend was practically spent inside my dorm room either at my desk working or in my bed sleeping. Sounds pretty sad, I know. But the point is, everything is winding down in anticipation of next week, so the prospects for this weekend look far more exciting than the last, unless, of course, you find Early Modern English History more exciting than a night on the town.

Anyway, back to the point of this entry...As you may have noticed, I kind of just blog about what comes up in my life at college, but that may not include what you (the noble reader) may want to know about it. So what I'm getting at here IS....if there's anything that I'm not touching on that has do with life in college (and there's a lot) that you are curious about make a comment on one of the posts. I'd love to get some questions and feedback on what I'm writing so I can give a better picture of what college life is like. Translation: Some comments would be awesome...even just to let me know people are reading this!  

Back to the Inferno (Dante's Inferno, that is).

Sick...AGAIN

So, ok we've all heard that you get sick a lot as a freshman. But this is just ridiculous. I have a sore throat like every two weeks that lasts for about a week. And it's not just me, my friends are on the same sick cycle. It's really not fun. I'm trying to take my vitamins and eat lots of oranges and stuff, but nothing really works. I think a big contributor is the dining hall. I mean I don't want to be gross but, I feel like a lot of people touch or at least get close to what I eat from the dining hall and I'm sure a lot of them are sick soooo that doesn't help things. Hate to be a whiner, but I'm really just not used to feeling like I have no immune system. I guess one good thing is that it's not just me, so I can commiserate with other people on my floor and in my building in general. Hey, on the bright side its almost a conversation starter..."Ugh, I'm sick" "Hey ME TOO!!!" and so on
