The first week-ish

Yeah, so sorry about the delay of this post. I've been busy...duhh. But because so many things have happened, I'm going to organize this into classes, people, and events.

CLASSES

FYS: I was with everyone in this class for all of orientation, so I got to know people pretty well (see KEVIN, DOC, TOM, MIRA, PAT). It was kinda awk at the beginning, because of various events (see THE DIVERSITY SCANDAL) but now it seems to have all blown over now. I adore the professor, she's amazing. The class also seems really interesting, it's like cool psychology stuff, which hopefully I'll like. I'm not pumped for all the writing though...but I'll deal with it. I've only had one class, so we'll see how it goes.

DRAWING: Just came back from this class, actually. IT'S SO FREAKING LONG OMG (2 hours) but it's really relaxing and pretty easy for now. People in the class are really nice and talk to each other, which is good. That's all.

FILM HISTORY: I like this class. It's really interesting...except for the textbook which is retarded and doesn't have to do with anything. The professor is interesting too, which is good. The best thing about the class, however, is that there's 6 girls and 15 guys...and most of them are ridiculously attractive. Yessssssss.

ITALIAN: Worst class ever. 8:30 in the morning, all Italian, all the time. I feel like there's a language block that just makes it ridiculously hard to learn anything in that class....it's like I hear something and 5 seconds later I forget it again. Plus, we have a quiz tomorrow so I can't go out to the gay bar with everyone else tonight....djlfsjfldsjfldsf.

FITNESS AND WELLNESS: Runner up for worst class ever. This was the class that I discovered that you actually have to look at the syllabus to see what homework you have, because YOU MIGHT HAVE A QUIZ THE NEXT DAY ON THE READING AND IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT THAT WOULD BE BAD. Not that that happened to me, of course...


PEOPLE (in no particular order)

SAM: Roommate #1. Very cute, short, blond and perky, but for some reason has a really low voice, which threw me off at first. She's really into theater and singing, which is nice. We get along really well and hang out a lot.

CAROLINE: Roommate #2. I admit, I judged her when I facebook stalked her...hahaha. She's kinda odd, but in a good way. She's also into theater but ridiculously sweet.

SARA: I had hung out with her a couple times before, but we're pretty much inseparable here. She's amazing and exactly like me except shorter and with a higher voice. I don't know what I'd do without her here :D

EMILY: Her dorm is across the hall, and she's in my room nearly as much as Sara is. She's from Florida and really artsy and out there. She has a unique look which sometimes throws people off, but she's really really sweet.

NICK: I like Nick. We haven't really been hanging out much, but we do occasionally and it's always nice to see a familiar face to remind me of the past. He was kind of miserable the first day, but I think he's found his group, so I'm happy for him.

GRANT: Not the type of kid I would normally hang out with, but for some reason I am. He's half asian and dresses really ghetto for some reason, and never stops talking about Family Guy.

CONNOR: Really nice and laid back kid. The only odd thing about him is that he has "a girlfriend in Malaysia," which may or may not be true.

KEVIN: Amazing. I'm pretty sure I talked about him last time, so I won't say anything other than that.

DOC: Another LA kid. He's kinda like Danny except more arrogant and less feminine, if that makes sense. He likes attention. A lot of attention. As much attention as he can possibly get. I don't know if I like him or not, but I end up seeing him around a lot.

TOM: Oh dear, where do I start. I guess you should read THE DIVERSITY SCANDAL to really get this. I don't really know where we stand, but I see him all the time because he's Grant's roommate, so I have to deal with him.

PAT: A football player douchebag. That's all there is to say.

THE GIRLS ON MY FLOOR: They're all going to be bunched into one category because I don't want to write a separate thing for each of them. Everyone on my floor is amazing and sweet. The end.

I can't think of anyone else, but I'm sure I'll add some more people later.


EVENTS

THE DIVERSITY SCANDAL: So basically, we saw this diversity play in our FYS groups, and I thought it was kinda interesting. I mean not AMAZING, but interesting. So we had a discussion about it in class with one of the people in the play, and it was totally fine until PAT decided to pass when we all had to go around and say something we liked about it. So that was kinda weird, and it got weirder when TOM passed too. I didn't understand why they didn't just make up shit, it seemed really disrespectful. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere TOM just walks out of the room and never comes back. Needless to say I left the meeting FUMING, and everyone was talking shit about Tom and Pat. The next day we were told that the leader of the group was really offended and we were basically the infamous FYS group in the Muhlenberg community...way to make a good start. And to top that off, Tom didn't even show up that day. So then I end up in Tom and Grant's room one night, and Tom told me that he heard that everyone was upset with him. So I told him that yeah, everyone was upset with him. So he told me that he actually had gone to the bathroom that day, and he was sick the day he hadn't showed up. So I told him that I was sorry for talking shit about him, and that he should tell people what happened. So of course, he goes to Pat to talk to, who tells him some bullshit story about how nobody was angry at him and that I was making it all up. So Tom came up to me all pissed off, and I was like why the hell would I make that up? Obviously it was just Pat being a douchebag, as usual. So whatever there was like this ridiculous tension between us and it was soooo awkward because I was with Grant and them a lot and he was always there. So eventually I just told him that I wasn't angry at him and I hoped he wasn't angry with me but that I wasn't lying, and that was that. It's still kinda awk, but at least it's tolerable now. The end.

Okay, it's like 2 in the morning and I have a quiz at 8:30. I STUDIED FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT BE PROUD OF ME. I'll try to post more soonnnn.
