Blog? What? Oh yeah!

It hasn't really been a busy week....i've just totally forgotten about this. Or I'm lazy. Or something.
Actually, there really isn't anything to report here. I'm getting slightly annoyed at the sheer amount of sidewalk chalk here, however. I've seen probably 20 different places where freshman were advertising for the student senate.
Does anybody really care?
I sure don't. Maybe someone somewhere does, or maybe they're just trying to get something good on their resume.
Who knows. I'm just gonna try to survive my first year.
Maybe i'm weird.

Ahhhh, the weekend.

My first real weekend at college, and no idea what to do. As my mother said on the phone, "Call someone and do something."
Wow. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room, does it?
Sorry, Mom, i had to.
Another regular day of classes, nothin to report there.
I'm boring, i know. People everywhere are falling asleep because of my incredibly boring blog.

Oops

Oh yeah…I did think of something.  Today was the first day of jazz band.  I’m in the lowest one, and that means we only have like one or two concerts this whole year…but that’s still cool.  It was good to be able to play the kind of music I like to play.
More on that story as events progress. (

Nothing Exciting...

Well, it's Thursday...and nothing worth talking about has happened. The first meeting of the Navigators is tonight, so I'm looking forward to that. Other than that...I really have no idea!
Sorry my life isn't more exciting.

I hate Mondays

Like I said, I hate mondays. Class was fine, food was yummy, met a guy that I knew from Singapore (yay, another person I can say I know from college!). Those weren't the things that ruined this day. There are two reasons. One's sitting on my roommate's desk, and the other one's in MY fridge.
Beer.
I'm gonna talk to my RA later tonight about it, at the risk of being called a snitch. Oh no.
So on that happy note, we'll continue!
I was talking to Brian Linton, my best friend from Singapore, and he said that a guy from SAS was going to KU. He gave me David Tierney's email address, and I talked to him on MSN! We met at Mrs. E's, the dining center, and had dinner and talked. Good times. The more people i meet here the better i feel.
Hopefully. Keep the prayers up.

First Real Sunday

Today was my first real Sunday here in Lawrence. Last Sunday didn't count because I was still was in Marching Band and we had practice. *gasp*
I bought "The Bourne Supremecy" last night at Target...good movie. Now i need to buy "The Bourne Identity." Both really good.
Nothin else to report.

Long trip

It is a long way to Target from here. Even though it's probably only 3 or 4 miles, on a bike, it seems like forever.
Prices, by the way, were a lot lower there than at the Union. Hmm.

Saturday

Saturday has come!  Not that classes have been especially hard yet or anything, but everyone likes weekends.  I’m in the Union now, checking out the bookstores and stuff.  Target is selling both Jason Bourne movies for 20 bucks or something, and the Oread Books (the non-university bookstore here) is selling them for 25 apiece!  What’s that about?  Do they think they can make more money off of poor college students?  Ha!
I had to buy a DVD-R for my speech (apparently good old VHS has gone the way of the dodo) and they only came in packs of three, of course.  That costed 15 bucks!  Geez the bookstores here make a mint off us.  Anyway…nothing really exciting has happened yet today.  If something does, I’ll be sure to post it.
Rock Chalk!

Two days down

Two days of classes done. Russian looks fun...except for the annoying TA. She doesn't really know what she's doing...she just kinda wings it it seems like. She goes way to fast when teaching us pronouncation, but we catch up. J-101 seems fun; the prof is a goofball. Yay! Speech looks okay...it's a grad student so he's pretty laid back so far. English looks just like A.P. English except with a lot fewer papers.
Hallelujah.
How are things on the social end? Non-existant. I haven't really done anything with anybody yet. I'm hoping the Navs thing on Sunday will solve that.
That's all for now.
