Class

Today I was FINALLY registered for class. I'm going to learn Chinese, so that should be...amazingly difficult. I also have an 8 am 3D design class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Why I got put in that class is beyond me, I know absolutely nothing about 3D design nor any kind of design I suppose. I just sort of got stuck into whatever happened to be open.

So far, I've made friends with all the international students, which is really neat. I'm getting along with my roommate, which I anticipated, because neither of us seem to be difficult to live with. Also, the group of transfer students is pretty cool.

I was going to write this big long blog about how much I want to go home because being here is a huge hassle, but I'm starting to enjoy it. Except for my work study assignment. Ew, catering. I WANTED to work in the cafe, but Noooooo...

Oh, and the beds suck.

But on another note, I do have a choir audition in about a half hour, which I'm really excited for. I haven't been able to do choir for a while, and I've missed it. I'm considering a minor in music, and I'm taking World Music this semester, which corresponds to my Anthropology major and a music minor. Who knows.

My eating/sleeping schedule is all messed up too. The dining hall is only open certain times, so breakfast is 7-9 am, lunch is 11-1 and dinner is 5-7 (I think. I'm not sure about dinner.) Usually at home I get up at about 11, so that's breakfast for me. Then lunch is somewhere around 4 or 5, and I eat supper at about midnight/1 am. So I'm hungry now, but dinner isn't until 6:30 tonight (group dinner, I guess). Thank heavens I bought snacks.

I also need to find a cheap fridge/microwave, because neither I nor my roomie have one, and I would like to be able to have food in my room, considering its going to be a while before I get used to my new eat/sleep schedule. (I'm betting on missing breakfast every Tuesday and Thursday, screw getting up at 6:30 am. 7 is bad enough.) Oh, not to mention a new laptop, considering mine is broken. I'm using the computer lab down the hall from my room right now, but I would like to have SOMETHING to do in my room. And books. I have to buy books. The way its set up here is you go to the bookstore with your schedule, pick up the books from the shelf, and buy them. I wish I just knew what books, so I can get them online for cheap. Maybe I'll just go through and list them down. Yay for cheating the system.

Oh, and while my tummy grumbles I'd like to observe that instead of gaining weight (freshman 15) my freshman year, I lost 15 lbs. And this semester, I have a feeling I'll be losing more weight on account of never eating anything but nutra-grain bars and yogurt. So there's a plus to never being awake/around when the dining hall is open. I guess.
