Hey guys! It's been a long time since I've written. I'm already in Arkansas if you didn't know, but then again some people have been known to stay inside all summer. Anyway, school is going pretty well so far. Orientation week was really busy, and this past week was Welcome Week, so there have been lots of activities going on. I've been a little home sick, but that's expected. I haven't made and "real" friends yet. There's a few people that I hang out with, but I haven't found any one that I click with. My roommate is okay I guess. We're usually not in the room at the same time, which I like because then I can basically do what I want. She's a little more out going than me, she already has a couple of "good friends." I just like to see what's going on before I get involved.
So the classes that I'm taking are astronomy, introduction to film studies, Spanish 2 (I surprisingly tested out of Spanish 1), and then there are these 2 other classes that freshmen are required to take called Journeys and Explorations. Journeys is like TOK, sort of. Well, there are seminars where it's just 15 students, and then there are lectures where all Journeys classes go. But we just read the Allegory of the cave, so we were discussing what's real. Anyway, it was interesting. Um, yea. So all my classes have been fine so far. I'm excited, I've got no mid term or final in Spanish. Hahaha! And film studies is cool because we get to watch movies and then discuss the artistic elements of them. Astronomy, I don't know if I'll like it or not. It's kinda easy so far, but we'll see.
I like going to a small school, there's not that many people. I think my biggest class has 30 students, and my smallest has 11. So it's pretty cool. Yep, there's a lot of events too. There's this tradition called Shirttails, where the freshmen learn a song and dance and then perform for each of the dorms, well the girls perform for the boys, and the boys perform for the girls. It was fun learning the dance and stuff, but my dorm lost. It was okay though because the girls dorm that won had never won, and there's was pretty good. It was either going to be us or them. Luckily the raunchy dirty dances didn't win. Eww. Anyway, yea then after that there was a concert here, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. It was really good, except for the fact that there were tons of drunk people there and I've never been around drunk people and I don't know how to deal with them, so that pissed me off. Then after that my friends wanted to find a party at Martin (a boy's dorm aka the party dorm) but I didn't want to go because I'm sure there would be plenty more drunk people. Sheesh. I'll go to a party eventually, I'm just not comfortable yet. I hardly know anyone. I don't like going to parties where I don't know anyone because then I don't have fun. So yea...
Anyway, I think this post was long enough. I hope you guys are having fun at school, or having fun with the rest of your summer. Good luck to all of you. :-)
