greetings from the vikingmaiden
wow. i cant believe ive only been here for two weeks. it feels like a lifetime already. ive eased into my schedule without any difficulties... the course work didnt take any time to pile up. i can handle it. im back to working in the brig. i love working there. i love all the interaction i get with people on campus. i have a new roommate... gabbie. she's a lot of fun. she has some of the same "bad" habits i do so we get along... "bad" habits being... talking outloud randomly, talking to the computer... breaking out in random song. you know. but we get along well. shes a strong christian and it is inspiring to see her dedication to God. i love my new dorm too... my room is windowless and in the basement. our light is broken so we are making do with various desk lamps (and one floor lamp) around the room. i call the room "the cave" although a couple girls call the basement rooms "the dungeon" or "the closet." there really isnt much spare room but we have just enough. i put my dresser in my closet just so id have room to walk around. but its working out nicely. our room definitely isnt as tidy as it was last year, but i dont feel the need to keep it perfect since my roommate apparently does not. besides i cant become too much of a messy b/c theres not enough room. i like all of my classes. im taking two sociology classes... one on surveys and writing and such and the other on deviant behavior. strangely i like the first better but i like the kids in my class significantly more. im also taking the second required humanities course. its a... less philosophical... western civ. today we covered grecian art... totally awesome. ive decided i really am a bit of an art fan. poor mike got a lesson on renassiance art the other day. i am also taking advanced spanish conversation. its hard. it takes me a while to connect what i know. its coming back... very slowly. i have an eight o'clock astronomy class that never fails to lull me to sleep. i know its bad of me. ive started chewing gum to keep me awake. its interesting. i love the stars and its fun to learn about something i love, but the prof is a bit dry for that early in the morning. im not a fan of pure lectures and thats what the class is. an hour and a half. it kills me. but i love the stars. im also taking psych. i LOVE my psych class... my prof is just a tad crazy. she's rather eccentric but in a good way. but i love reading about it. ive never loved my reading assignments for other classes. i would read this book even if i didnt have to. and its very much a science textbook. im starting to reconsider declaring sociology as my major. i didnt realize pysch would really inspire me like it does... and we're just talking about brain chemistry now. i guess i might just have to look into majoring in psych w/ a soc minor. that would rock. that would be a lot of hard work... but thats what im here for. things are going well w/ the bf too. we're adjusting to being away. it got rocky for a bit but i think we're over the initial problems. im looking forward to when he comes out for homecoming. woot woot. well thats about it. im here and i love it. i dont see some of my friends from last year as much as i did... but im going to have to compare schedules with them. well folks id like to hear about whats going on for you... so either drop me an email (laughin_lunatic@yahoo.com) or give me a call.
hej! glad you like yoru classes! hope you survive 'the cave'!
hey, maybe you can grow some of that luminescent moss down there!
