College...good times or bad?

Yesterday I didn't go to class because my first class was at 3:25 and the university was closed at noon and today classes were cancelled this morning. I was in bed till ten this morning just laying there. After Maura got up to go take a shower, I went over to open the blinds. When I looked out the window, the sidewalks infront of Wilkinson Hall (where I live) were not plowed yet and the snow was deep, but the sidewalks infront of Chase Hall and the sidewalks to the road were plowed. I wasn't about to walk through the snow to get to Connecticut Hall (the dining hall). And to boot, there were people infront of Wilkinson Hall shoveling the snow off of the stairs. When I left a couple of hours later, they hadn't made any progress.

Well dad came and picked me up from school, so I can go see Haley's play and for my brother's birthday, which is on Sunday. I get to go back on Sunday and hopefully I can go to class next week. I have yet to have my biology lecture. The professor never showed up on Tuesday and today there was no school. I hope this semester will be better then the last one, but we will see.

Maura

My new roommate's name is Maura. I think we will get along great. We talked more last night, then Lindsay and I ever did. I am excited for this semester. On top of getting along we have the same bio lab and the same bio lecture. I have a study buddy.

Classes were cancelled earlier today so I don't have any classes today. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow. (I know its not going to happen, but I can only wish.)

College So Far

Today was my second day of classes. I got up this morning to go to my 810 class, the class was there but the professor wasn't. I went to my next class and the professor jumped right in and the notetaking began.

Actually, lets go back to yesterdays classes. I got up and went to my biology class and he told us that we need to get this lab notebook for class and it has to be handed in at the end of the semester. So I went to the bookstore and bought this lab notebook for $39.80. I can't even return it. Then I went to my US History class and the professor seemed nice but her voice is going to drive me crazy. Every time she takes a breath, her voice gets really high and then goes down and the process repeats itself. My english professor is my favorite. I think that his class will be very interesting.

Well anyways back to today. I went to lunch with a couple friends and after one of them came up to my room with me so she could kill some time. Right as we were going to leave, someone knocks on my door. There is this girl standing there asking me if she could room with me. She explained a little bit of her issues with her other roommates and I agreed to let her room here. I was looking for a roommate and now I have one. I am excited because that is what I really wanted, but at the same time I wonder if I could have made it through the semester with out one.

Winter Break is Coming to an End

Today is my last day in East Hampton. After my dad gets out of class and eats dinner we are leaving so I can go back to school. I'm not looking forward to sleeping in my dorm by myself. I don't like it. But anyways I'm going back today and classes start tomorrow.

Roommate Blues

I have been checking my southern email account periodically since I went on break. Today I checked it to see if I got anything new. I had gotten an updated rooming assignment. I had a roommate last semester but her parents wanted her to go to a triple to save them money. At the end of last semester, I got another roommate. But according to my email, I am the only one in my room. I don't mind having my own room, but half of it will be empty, which will be weird.

Hopefully, I will get a new roommate soon.

Really, really excited

My family had the family meeting today. Dad began it by saying that my Grandfather dropped a bomb on him Friday night. He also said that he thinks its a great idea. By him saying that, I was really excited and I didn't know what he could have possibly said to my dad.

After what felt like hours, my dad said that my Grandfather told him that he is taking us on vacation. I was still excited but also puzzled, until he said that we are going to go to Hungary either the end of July or the beginning of August.

I can't wait to go. I have been dreaming to go and see the country. Thank you Grammie and Grampa.
