So... this is an account of my first two days of college! :) This is was taken from an email to a friend and savagely edited to make it appropriate for the masses. :P (My original email was hardly coherent.) So, here it is! The 411.-------------------------
Anywho, my first day was mostly silly. I had two labs (which don't start until next week) and one discussion, which was lame since we didn't have a lecture to discuss. So we just ended up watching videos. :D And then I stuck around until my sister was done studying. :) Which was around 4:30, and then we went home.
Well, day two was a lot more fun (and exhausting)... so I got to campus around 7:30 and it was pretty much deserted.. and I was like
uhhm... okay deserted city... this isn't creepy at all. So I just walked around and figured out some shortcuts between buildings and such. It was considerably more fun than I had expected.
So then I had a psychology (vomit) class at 8 and it was HUGE.
hugehugehugehuge. But it wasn't that bad, the teacher was okay, I didn't get any special vibes from him. The kid sitting in front of me was brown, and looking at wedding photos on facebook... so was I distracted? HECK YES. But it wasn't important anyways, since my prof. just ran through the basics. Afterward I was walking to the library and I saw
F but she wouldn't hug me because she was deathly ill. That depressed me more than I would like to admit. =(
So then I found myself having nothing to do for a good three hours. I decided to meet up with
N and she took me for a tour of campus. (Not really, she just ran errands all around campus and I tagged along) And then we went up to the honors library and sat there and tried to watch this dumb kdrama shes obsessed with, but she wanted to watch it RAW (as in, without English subtitles) and I was like
uhmm... okay... I think I'll pass this time. Then
M showed up after a while and we sat around and talked. :) And then
A texted me and she was like
yo lets meet up. So she came over to the library and the three of us, (we had ditched
N, by this point) all walked to class,
M left early and then I walked
A allllll the way to her class (like to the door, lol) and then, lo and behold, I still had an hour to burn. So I went back to the library and I looked up books/prices on various sites and such because I'm a smart shopping student!
*applause* AND THEN. Stupid, typical Hadhafang, I had to go to the bathroom 15 minutes before my class started... and it was about a 10 minute walk from the library to my class. XD Oh boy.
So I was almost late to Chinese class... but then I was not, thankfully. There's only 14 people in there so I'm glad I wasn't late or I would've stuck out like a sore thumb.
BUT OMG it was sooooooo intense and amazing and I was like WHUT. I loved it.
As soon as I got out of class it began raining really, really hard. I was like
uh... what now, Hadh? The lecture hall I was in... happened to be the only one WITHOUT a sitting area outside of class. So it was either stand around for god knows how long, or make a dash through the rain. So I was all
UGHGUGHGUGHGUGH. So I decided in my infinite wisdom, let's make a dash for the library... and I RAN but it was
so bad. I was dodging between buildings and I still got pathetically wet. As soon as I get to the library my friend comes out and she's all
HAI THERE. I'M STILL DRY SO LETS GO EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. My face was like
:O, I mean honestly, I was drenched to the skin already. But being the angelic friend I am... I said yes. So I was like OKAY I'M RUNNING. BAGO!!!
(that means 'run' in my language) I ran like
UGHHHH and guess what? We missed the crossing light. So there's basically no cover near by and I feel like God left his shower on and it's flooding the campus. I run over to a mangy looking tree and find
some shelter... but just my luck it thunders two seconds later! And then I was like WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE. Luckily by that time, the light opened up and I bulleted across the street.
3 minutes after reaching the restaurant... it stopped raining. :O
While my friend was munching, I went to buy my two Chinese books. :) They weren't that expensive considering they're brand new. :) And then after my friend finished eating, she also wanted to get books so we went back and I mysteriously met up with about 5 other people there. For some reason I happened to know more about the book store than my soph/junior friends and I had to direct them. :P
After the sun came out I started towards my Bio lecture. I was still really wet, and the hall I went to for my bio was stunningly gorgeous. It was an old church or something and there's a huge stone fountain outside, and it's all white stone. The inside had cathedral ceilings and so it was supremely drafty. And I was like
AHHH NO. WHERE IS THIS COLD WIND COMING FROM?!?! I legitimately thought I would die from the cold.
But my bio lecture was actually pretty cool. I mean I was a little distracted. But my prof seemed really cool (he basically slammed physics, so I was like
OMG, HELLO SOULMATE.) But he was supremely old... I mean old enough to be called decrepit. So every now and then he would turn off the monitor so he could search for something, and then he would forget to turn it back on, so he'd be typing notes and we'd be like UHH YOUR SCREEN IS OFF. But he was so absorbed in typing he never heard us. (lolwhut?) So every 5 minutes or so he would turn around to walk back to his chair and he'd notice the screen was off, and he'd say, "Was that off the entire time?" and we'd be like... "YES."
And then later I met back up with N and went home... at like 6:30. Hahah it was a long and tiring day.
But so completely worth it.
