9/21/11

Today was kind of normal. I woke up at my normal time, but realized I was still really tired, and since my class wasn't for 2 hours, I set my alarm for 15 minutes later and slept for an extra 15 minutes. I ate, took my meds, and went to class. I had lunch with some friends at the best place on campus. Did homework, then went to my next class. I then went to my first meeting for students for life, a pro-life RSO. Did some get to know sort of things but was 30 minutes late due to a misunderstanding. Oh well. Then there was a demonstration on stuff to cook in our dorms. That was fun. Learned how to make fudge, cereal treats, butter beer like in harry potter, and sweet and sour chicken. Maybe I'll use some some time. Until next time.

9/18/11

Well I woke up realizing that I fell asleep on the footon with the main lite on. I went to church and walked past the aftermath of a party. Red cups and beer boxes everywhere. I then came back and did laundry for 4 hours. Sunday is a bad day to do laundry. I then had dinner with the deans. Great tacos and other food, but especially the tacos. I'm going to skype my family and put away my clothes.

9/16-17/11

Today I had my first chem lab. It's at 8am, and I got up at 6:30. Strangely enough waking up to dark was refreshing. Well I was first into the dining hall, and was there before it opened. Because it's the big rivalry game between us and our rival this weekend, there was a car bash with our rival's colors and initials on it. $1 to smash it with a sledge for 30 seconds. I did it, and while I didn't do much, it was fun.

I'm writing this at 4:30 in the morning and have been up for 22 strait hours. The reason I am still up is because I did a service project thing where we give free rides to students back home. It runs almost all night, from 11 to 3, but we still run if we have rides in the cue after 3. I think I might stay up for 2 more hours just to say I pulled a full 24 hours. Well until next time.

9/12/11

I tought today was going to be really good. It started out nice. Instead of our normal busses we had a charter bus to take us to the engineering campus this morning. But that was kind of the best part of the day. I had tech com and it was normal. I had lunch at the cafe at the engineering campus, pizza and soup. Burnt my toung on the soup. Then had my normal 10 minutes to get to calc. Calc was fine. But then I was working of some of the homework I have. I then realized I had 15 minutes to get to my dorm to drop off my stuff, get my next class stuff, and get to the buss. The treck that I had would normally over 15 minutes walking. So I had to jog. That was hard because it is a bit of a jog, with my backpack on my back, uphill then up stairs. I made it though, but really out of breath. And no more charter bus, back to the public transit type bus, packed to the gills. Had a 3 hour lab, ahhh so tired.

9/12/11

I hate the bus. It gets so cramped. Well I had chem, calc, and engineering graphics. Just really tired.

9/11/11

I spend more of the day with my family. We went to church. We watched some of the memorial for 9/11. They dropped me off and let for home. I had an engineers meet and greet and it was cool. Talked with some of my friends and met a new friend. I then had training for a safe driving service. We provide free non-judgemental rides to students back to where they live. I would say no questions asked, but there are questions to ensure that they are who they say they are. In signing up, I used the devil operating system. I had to put my info in on a mac, and it was weird.

Sad day in our nations history. I watched some of a memorial service, and a documentary on the day. Thank-you crackle.

9/10/11

I spent time with my family. They came and visited. We organized my room. We went out to a nice dinner at Applebees. Oh those riblits tasted so good. I stayed over at the hotel they were staying at. The room was larger than my dorm. Irony. I sat in the room and ate ice and watched tv. I brought my swim suit in case I decided to swim, but didn't. The ice was so good. I also slept in a big bed. The big bed was nice. Until tomarrow.

9/9/11

I had chem, and almost had trouble due to not having batteries for my iclicker. I had a calc and had a knowledge test. It was basically derivatives and anti-derivatives. Then there was Lots of Free Crap Bash. For the full story, read it at the main blog here.

9/8/11

Had calc and Tech com. Did homeworks. Was bord so I did my laundry. Actually had quite a bit. Did a DDR turnement. Faired well.

9/7/11

Today was kind of hard. I had chem and engineering graphics. For chem I need this thing called an iclicker. Probably runs lenux or windows. Anyways, the batteries are dead, and even though we did pack batteries, I couldn't find them, no matter where I searched. Ahhhhh, well at least my parrents are coming up this weekend and are bringing batteries.

Well for engineering graphics, I missed getting a work book for it and the drawing kit thing. Good thing I got a graduation check yesterday. It payed for the suplies.

But asside from the graphics stuff, I had everything. I also didn't have to buy a lot of new suplies. I had a 5 subject note book from last year and didn't use much of it. It is great for this. Probably could have assembled the drawing kit thing from some new suplies and old stuff I had. But it's good to get new stuff.

Now for a kind of hard part. I my best theory is a combination of home sickness, summer sickness, and re-entry without my normal people all around me. I'm confident in myself enough to say I cried today. I've kind of been holding it in for the past week and a half. I had some down time, and just let loose. Locked myself in my dorm and cried. I then had to reasure myself that it would be all right. Without having a loved one to comfort you and reasuring you that it will all be allright, it's a little hard. Oh well, I feel much better now. Until tomarrow.

9/6/11 First day of class

Things went pretty well. Had Tech Communications and Calc 2. Got a bit turned around getting to calc 2, I got to class, but thought I was in the wrong class so changed, but turns out I was in the right class. Ahhh first day is funny. I later went to a video game store that my cousin knows the owner. It's pretty cool, got Atari all the way to modern. They even have Bad Fur Day, but it's priced at like $50. Probably one of the rarest and most sought after game on the N64. My eye is annoying me, but hopefully it will go away. Well until tomorrow.

9/5/11 Labor day.

Happy labor day. I wish I did enough for a full blog, but alas there wasn't much to do. I tried to go to this video game store that my cousin knows the owner, and it seems like a really cool store, but being labor day, it was closed.
I kind of read news paper comics all day. My grandpa saves me news paper comics from his physical news paper. They kind of piled up over the summer because I was kind of busy, but I read a bunch today. Read them in the burnhard center.

My big thing was I took a small campus tour that showed me where a bunch of my classes were. It was good.

This was my last day of summer vacation. Normally I would have some fun family thing or friends thing planned, but with them being 2 1/2 hours away by car and 4 hours by train, I couldn't have spent it with them. Oh well.

9/2/11

Today hasn't really been my day, but it had it's good points. Well for starters I forgot my cell phone in my room in the morning. Now I wan't woried about not having my life line with me, I was just worried that it fell out of my pocket, because it has happened before. It just caused some stress.

Now for the big thing. Today was the last day of fall welcome, and we had one last speaker. He was a good speaer and all and very powrful and passionant, but full of lies for me personally. For starters his big thing that he will teach everyone to juggle. I have tried to learn to juggle, and I never really got beyond the scarfs, or the second ball, or first for that matter. I have horible sports quardination, so bad that 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time I drop the ball when people toss me one. Then when I don't drop it I full body catch it, not just one handed. So yeah, can't juggle, and quite frankly I don't care.

Then here is the big lies, "here at college, no one knows your back story so don't let your past self define who you are here!" For starters, I have 22 other people from my highschool here with me at college, a couple of them who know me quite well. I know they would call me out if I stopped wearing my vest, keychain, and just stopped being my normal weird self. So no one knowing my past self is a filthy lie. Then he kept taling about changing and being different then who you were in high school. Who are you to say that I didn't like my high school self. I loved all that I was in highschool and wish to continue being that great person. To change would be changing for the worst. Things were great, and I wish for them to be that great. He really did nothing for me.

So that's over, and now it's lunch time. I go eat, then decide to hang out in th lounge in the AC. It's increadibly hot here and being in a non AC dorm really sucks. Well then my dad wants to skype, so then I skype. Then I want to skype my best friend zeldamaster93. Show him around my room and just chat. It was good to see him again and have my piece of home. I skyped for about 4 hours just amungst family and friends. Then ate dinner, and AC lounged some more.

Here is where some more succage comes. Well the lounge that I was at closes at 7, and they were kicking us out 5 minutes prior to closing. I grab my backpac and head out. By the time I realize I forgot my eco mug full of Sprite, they were already closed. Need to remember to get that tomarrow, and I will since I wrote myself a note.

Now it's really hot here and I'm constantly sweating, and I think the fact that it's becoming increasingly harder to keep hydrated is starting to affect my memory. I had to look that up because affect vs effect is so weird. Anyways, not only did I forget my eco mug, but also my broken carabeener at a movie. The movie I saw was a free airing of bridesmaids on a big screen. I was going to try to fix it, but alas I forgot it. Today hasn't fully been my day. It was nice to reconect with loved ones back home, but other parts have sucked. Till tomarrow.

9/1/11

Today was crazy. Absolutly crazy. First I'll start off with the beginning. We first had this diversity thing, play that had a bunch of different people and their steriotype. The clostest thing they came to representing white people was with the "redneck." With all the diversity stuff I get fed, not once do I see white people. We are people too, and we face adversity, some times.But truely, if you want diversity, have white people in adition to all the other races. They get all the politically corect terms on starndardized test things; "latino american," "African American," "Pacific Islander," ect. What do we get? White. Not caucasian, white.

Anoyed white guy done now, time to talk about lunch,ish. It was like this sampling of all these different places around campus and student organizations. I sampled a fair amount of the food. Probably shoud have had something more substancial, but oh well.

Now for the scary thing. We did this thing in the city right next to my college, a little get to know down town thing. All went well until we were waiting for the bus. One guy in our group neerly got into a fight with some random guy down town. We're all grouped together and there is no where to go, so I'm stuck there. I'm keeping my distance as best I can, but I'm stil right there. Now I've seen fights back home, but never that close without a car door or window keeping me separated. That really scared me. Luckily nothing really serious happened, but I was in shock. I couldn't speek for about an hour because there was nothing to say, or could say. I know some basic psycology so I know I should talk it out, and I did a little with a different guy from my group. Took me 9 tries to get the words out.

There were some things on money management and other stuff, but then there was Jud Laipply, the Evolution of dance guy from YouTube. He was hilarious, and I saw him in person. He gave us a talk thing, then did his Evolution of dance. Really cool. I haven't seen him do it before, but I have camp counselors.

Finally there was Mijer Mania. We had to wait 1 hour to get onto a bus. I knew I had everything I needed, but figured I'd go as something to do. Well that was today.
