The college blog is dying. Leave a comment if you want it to die. Don't leave a comment if you want it to die. This blog will die!

Muahahah!

Well... as you can see, the title of the blog hath been changed. I decided that we are no longer Future College goers... instead, we are Current College goers. But "Current College-Goers of America" sounded a little too--er, let's say "Coffee and Bars" to me, so I decided to go for the more appropriately title... COLLEGE!

I refuse to write in my own blog until Blogger recognizes that I've written five hundred entries. It hasn't recongnized my last two, and it says I'm at 498... so that equals FIVE HUNDRED entries ala mi.

*writes Ahnold love note on floormates door*
*walks back to room in manner of Jan from the Brady Bunch*

That was fun.

I got a lot of homework done today... there weren't really any activities going on tonite, so I came home from Creative Writing, had some dinner and then started cracking away on my Spanish and such. I'm really proud of what I accomplished today. I should get a lot done tomorrow, too, b/c I don't have anything going on then... I think. We're supposed to be decorating our floor for Homecoming sometime this week... something in a psychadelic theme... *snicker* And then there's this whole Homecoming mess that's coming up. I don't know what the deal is going to be with the dance, though... I don't know if it's a show-up-and-have-fun dance or come-with-a-date-or-be-bored dance... *ponders a lot of things in a small amount of time*

I don't have Creative Writing on Wednesday (YES!) b/c our prof. is going to be out of town, but that doesn't give me any more free time. I'll just go to band instead of going to CW.

Our first concert is this weekend, on Sunday afternoon to be exact. Shall be interesting... I think practices will be interesting, too... sectionals on Wednesday... scary. *shudder* Oh well...

Anywho, I think I'm going to cut my fingernails, b/c it's really hard to type with them being as long as they are. Hopefully, now, I'll have reached my 500 entries mark... woot for me.

I wish we could be more specific,

Reading... Well, I've had to read two sections of my design book, but that's not much reading considering the page-size pictures and the ginormous quotes. Umm... What else... Oh, yes, I've read the first two chapters of my drawing book; about seventy pages.

Yeah, you win.

Just wondering, kids...in your first week-ish of school, how much reading have you been assigned? I'm curious as to what others have to do. My first weekend? I was assigned to finish an entire book for the next class on Tuesday, over 200 pages. Is that excessive? Well, it is Honors, and they're known for excessive reading, but I was wondering how that stacked up to yous guys. ;) I had to read two fairly lengthy (and pointless, I may add), chapters in a book for class today and let me tell you, I'm starting to resent the phrase "Have read and ready to discuss for class." Hrmph. However, I still love life, college, and you! :D *muwah!*

Lust!

Damn the world of college textbooks!

After a little thought and consideration, I decided to drop German and take up French. German is just getting old, even though I technically don't know anything German.

So, just now I toted my $120 German text back to the campus bookstore and picked up the $140 French book. When I brought them to the counter to undergo the exchange, I was informed that I would only get half back because I had opened the plastic on the three German books bound together.

In sum, my impatience to open my textbooks has cost me over $60. Those meanies. I promptly told the woman behind the counter that I wouldn't opt to sell them back the book at half-off. Sure, I bought the French book, but I kept the German one, too, and I'll try to sell it to someone else.

Otherwise, college is going okay. It's only Day One of classes, so who knows?

Did anyone else get a going-off-to-college card from their parents? I sure as hell did. The front of the card dons an empty birdcage, door swung open.

They also gave me a fish. A plush toy fish. Not an actual fish.

The fish has a story. They received it at a business seminar based on the "Fish Philosophy." (I'm not sure if that link will work; it's being mean to me.) It's moreso a business/marketing concept, but before they ran off to work this morning, they told me the key points: play, be there, make their day, choose your attitude.

May the funk be with you.

Hrm...I just read Manda's entry, but it didn't show up on the actual blog. This makes me sad, I wanted to comment. Oh well, I'll do so here. Manda, you're totally right, I miss my fam, especially my mommy. *sniff* And yes, friends are replaceable, but don't just get rid of us nonchalantly because of that. I'd miss you too much. Now we can just be long-distance, check in via blog etc buddies. *muwah*

Manda, Brett, off you go tomorrow. I'm so happy for you! Have fun, enjoy the chaos, as Manda told me, you only get to be the incoming recently graduated high schoolers once, so enjoy the snot out of it. It's fun. I'll probably call you both tonight just to check in on your packing progress (hopefully you both aren't repeating my mistake of basically packing the night before...lol) and dish out the very little advice I have. ;) I lurve you!

*muwah*
