Is it bad that I can essentially sum up my college life in 7 words?
Class: Luckily, they don't seem to bad! I mean, I have polisci which is destined to be a fun-sucker but other than that they are okay. My professor's are decent, some are even funny and enjoyable to listen to. I have also learned that I will never again be taking an 8AM class if I don't absolutely have to, nor will I have classes on Friday if I can avoid them. I don't know WHAT I was thinking when I put my lab on a Friday!!
Bike: Oh, I have several funny stories that include me and my bike. First of all, I LOVE having a bike on campus, I can essentially get anywhere in under 10 minutes now, and my farthest class is only a 7 minute bike ride. YES! First funny story... it's 7:45 and I'm riding my bike to my 8AM class. I'm exhausted to say the least. I'm trying to eat go-gurt while riding my bike, and kinda sorta ran into a stop sign. Not like a full on collision, more of just a side scrape. Luckily, nobody saw... phew! It was super windy and cold outside and when I walked into class, my professor stopped me at the door with this "2 things to ask you this morning: 1) what on Earth are you eating? 2) Why do you look like you just walked through a hurricane?" GREAT!!! Bike story number 2... I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, everybody knows that. You can probably think of several ways I could potentionally hurt myself. I have one that you didn't think of! An acorn fell on my head!!! Now, that doesn't seem like a huge deal. But, did you know that a typical acorn falls at 28 mph? And it has a force of 19.6 Newtons? Yeah, betcha didn't! IT HURT!! Geesh...
Study: That's about all I do. I read, and take notes, and read some more. Thank goodness this reading isn't too terrible right now, and I'm keeping caught up for the most part. I mean, I only study typically 6-8 hours a day. No biggie, right? Ha. I have no life. Luckily, nobody else has a life either :)
Eat: Oh food. I have actually semi-expanded my horizons. I eat a lot of turkey/ham/cheese sub sandwiches. And a lot of mac'n'cheese. And grilled cheese! Oh, I had a really good grilled chicken sandwich the other day. mmmmm :) I have taken a liking to burritos, and will have those along with wraps occasionally on campus. I even tried a Sbisa sandwich!! I know, you've never heard of it.. neither had I, which typically means I wouldn't even touch it with a 10 foot pole. Let me describe it to you... Warm and soft cookies make the bread, and ice-cream goes in the middle! DELISH! (yes, it's a menu item :D )
Talk: I seem to do that a lot lately. I spend a lot of time on the phone late at night with my camp friends. I spent 10 weeks with them, and I miss hearing about their days and what is going on in their lives. I also enjoy sitting on "my couch" (it's a couch in the hall of my dorm that literally nobody ever sits on. I study, talk on the phone, read, listen to music, do about anything there. It's awesome!) with some of my friends from Impact and just talking about life and what God is showing us through daily things. It's pretty great!
Skype: When phone conversations just aren't enough... Typically Carley and I skype 2 times a week, and I've skyped Renee once. It just makes me SO happy to see their faces! I miss them!
Sleep: When all of the previously listed things are done, I get to sleep! I normally get a nap on Monday/Wednesday's, which is awesome. I normally go to bed around 12:30-1, and am always up at either 7 or 8. I'm constantly tired, and rarely sleep through the night which is weird. I wake up and realize all these things I didn't do, or things I need to remember to get next time I'm at Walmart, or things that I forgot to tell somebody, or a text message that I never sent. It's SO frustrating!! Blah.
There's college for ya :)
