Ok, I know I said I'd repost once I put my stuff in the dryer, but that didn't happen obviously. And then, I left for the game right after I folded and put my clothes up. So, I'm going to rewrite all this stuff again. It won't be as cool as it was the first time, but oh well.
So, Monday was the first day of classes. I don't have class til 12:50 on MWF, which rocks. My first class was a Middle Ages History course, but once I get there, I find out that we're going to focus specifically on the Vikings. Woo!! A class on the Vikings is too cool. And the professor is a good lecturer, which makes it even better. Next, I head over to the Astronomy class I'm taking. Over the summer I took the Intro to Astronomy course, called Discover the Unvierse. Now I'm taking Life in the Universe. And I have the same prof as the one I had over the summer. Yes, this class is going to be easy.
Finally I have a computer class. I swear, this class is a joke. We're actually going to learn how to use Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the Internet. She actually explained what the Desktop was, and how to open a program. And someone seriously asked her, if they deleted an icon on the desktop, if it would delete the program from the computer. Morons. It's going to be easy, just lots of busy work. If I don't get an A in there, I should be shot.
So on Tuesday, I have class at 8:30 AM. Yuck. I am sooooooooo not a morning person. So, like the first day of every other class, they keep us for about 15 minutes and let us go, since it's pointless to keep people. Lots of people drop and add classes the first week, so it's pointless to lecture when you have new people coming into a class throughout the week. Well, this morning class on Tuesday is Reformation Europe. And he keeps us for over an hour! It's a two period class on Tuesday, but it's the first day of class! And I swear, he's set it up to be like a mini Junior Seminar. Which, I already had my Junior Seminar. For those that don't know, the Seminar is the one required history class, and you have to write a 20 page paper in it. He's got us in discussion groups and everything. And then on Thursday, he lectures. Then he tells us the reading won't be heavy, only 100 pages for next week. What!!!!!!!! If that's his idea of light reading, I'm afraid of the heavy stuff. This is his first semester teaching here, he was at Notre Dame before. It's like, sorry sir, this isn't Notre Dame, we do stuff different here.
So there's this hottie guy in this class. So we talk some on Tuesday, and then, when I go to class on Thursday, I sit like 2 rows over from him. So we're chatting, and 8:30 rolls around, and we're the only 2 people in the room. So we look at our schedules, and discover class isn't til 9:35 on Thursday. I was so pissed!! I missed that extra hour of sleep. So we talk for the hour, and he mentions something about high school and 1989. That means he's like 30 or 31! I mean, that's not old, but for me it is, considering I've never been in a relationship. Now, I'm not totally sure that's his age, so I'll find out for sure, but if it is, it's a no go. And he's nice too. And he was a Marine. *Sigh*
So, anyway, my other class is Tennis. Which I don't have til 3:40. So I have like a 5 hour break between classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Which equals massive nap time. Whee!! Also, I went to the gym 3 times this week. I'd say I burned like 600 calories this week. Yes!! I always forget how good it feels after I work out hard. I'm really working hard to lose these last 20 lbs. And apparently, the weight I've already lost is really noticeable. I mean, it's not like I can't tell, because I can. My clothes don't fit, and I had to buy new stuff. But it's different looking at youself in the mirror. I still think I look the same. Well, my mom was telling me that the neighbor across the street came over the other day. He said they were building a new house and were going to be moving. But, the best part is this. He asked her if that was me that had been out mowing the lawn a couple of weeks ago. And she said it was. Well, he asked cause he wasn't sure if it was. He said he'd had to look a whole bunch of times cause he didn't recognize me, that the weight loss was really noticeable. WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
And then last night, my friend and I went out to get drunk. So I go over to her place around 11. And she was like, damn, you look so good! Look how much weight you've lost. She hasn't really seen me I think since like April, or maybe June. I can't remember if she saw me over the summer when I was here for classes. But that makes me feel really good. So, then we walk to downtown, cause she lives 2 blocks from it. And I swear, it was totally dead. We thought more people would be at the bars and clubs since we'd just had the first football game of the year, and we'd kicked ass. I guess they all went to the bars acorss the street from the stadium and campus. So we go into one place, and everyone there must have been at least 40. So I had a Long Island, and she had a Vanilla Stoli and Coke. Then we leave cause it sucked, and we head to Fat Tuesday's next door. It was dead too. But we had this drink called a Tropical Smurf. I don't remember exactly what was in it, but it was a frozen drink, and it had a couple different kinds of 151 in it, and Bourbon. Very good.
So we each get one. I finish mine, drink most of hers, and then get another one. She was drunk after the Stoli since she had been drinking since 5 while watching the game on TV. I didn't start to feel drunk til after I drank her Smurf. Well, we're sitting there, I'm working on my third Smurf, and she looks like she's going to be sick. So I go dump out the rest of my drink, less than half was left, cause I wanted to keep all 3 cups. They were plastic ones anyway, so I should get to keep them. So we walk back to her apartment. I decided I didn't want to stay at her place cause this guy friend of hers was staying there, and I felt kind of weird about that. So she wakes him up, and they walk me most of the way to the bus stop. We have a free bus service here that takes people back to campus from downtown, cause they don't want the students driving drunk. So I get on the bus, and there are these guys on there, which apparently, they're riding the bus for FUN. Dorks. I talked to them for a few, then I start talking to the frat guy next to me. Then I got off the bus, and went back to my room. My friend is coming soon to come get me so I can get my car, which is still at her place. Overall, it's been a pretty good week. Ok, my friend just called, she's on her way. I hope this was the entertainment that I'm apparently known for with my blog!!
Oh and one last thing. I'm shouting out my Dawny and Jennem love. I promised I would do it forever ago, but I haven't. So here it is. They know why I love them. :-)
