Things are running pretty smoothly--ha! I just freaked out cuz our sociology syllabus said we had a paper due tomorrow, and we hadn't heard ANYTHING about it before. It's now worked out; no paper till Tues. Whew!
The library here is huge--and confusing. It was built at different times, so none of the wings line up. The West Wing has six floors, the East Wing four floors, and they aren't even even. The East Wing's elevator is double sided: one side stops at three but the other door can go up to four.
For my English paper, I am supposed to research a particular greek statue, etc, etc. Well, the cast gallery has been closed for the past week due to recarpeting (go figure).
I live in a hall-bath dorm setup. Well, lately my building (and floor actually, according to some news reports) has been having some incidents of, um, a guy coming into the girls bathroom and surprising a girl in the shower. Another hall (apparently) had a more serious sexual assault. Now we have to keep the general door to the bathroom locked at all times (we use our room keys)--when we go in, while we are in there, and when we leave. Makes you feel so safe and comfortable, huh? Plus it's a huge pain.
At least the food here is decent, though I'm missing my Dr. Pepper and Sweet Tea with a vengeance.

First Week of College
Truths learned in my first week of college:
1. Sandals that are okay for waking short distances are not necessarily okay for walking long distances (7+ bandaids on feet).
2.Your class will NEVER be in the building that actually bears its name (English is in Geology, Sociology is in Physics, etc.)
3. Pizza is its own food group; there are more pizza places on campus than there are professors (well, maybe not, but you get my point).
4. Ten minutes is only enough time to get halfway to your next class.
5. Washers are temperamental beasts that do not acknowledge human domination.
6. When you allow the university to plan your schedule, they will end up placing you in a writing intensive course, despite the fact that a) you supposed to have English 1000 as a prerequisite b) as a journalism student you don't actually need a writing intensive course.
7. I am forever doomed to have no classes with multiple choice quizzes.
8. Giving a person like me the ability to swipe my student card and buy whatever I want from the bookstore is not a good idea (heeheehee).
9. Just when being part of a huge university seems completely overwhelming, God will send along a new friend.
