Almost October

I guess I'm even worse at this than I originally thought I was, but oh well...
Anyways, it's almost October, which means that I've been on campus for two and a half weeks now for the fall semester.  I've pretty much settled into a routine, which is definitely much less stressful than the first week was.  Fridays are the best days by far, because I have no class at all!  This Friday won't be quite as nice, because I have an essay due at 5 PM... That's besides the point though! Mondays are probably the next best, because I only have two classes from 10 to 12:20.  I can't complain much about that at all.  Wednesdays are pretty nice too with the same schedule as Monday with a 50 minute small class discussion for chemistry, which is normally a 150 person lecture, from 1:30 to 2:20.  Although Thursdays are longer because I have class from 10 to 4:30 with an hour for lunch, they're still not very stressful because I know I don't have class the next day.  Tuesdays are really the only day of the week that I don't like because I have class from 10 to 4:30, which is then followed by two hours of band practice.  I really don't like not being able to start on homework until after dinner, but I just have to learn to deal with it.  In general, classes are pretty nice, but I'm probably speaking too early considering how I haven't had any tests or quizzes yet.  I was actually supposed to have my first German quiz tomorrow, but class got cancelled due to a medical emergency for my professor.  Shame that it got moved to Monday, which happens to be my birthday. Boo. Oh well, though.
Away from classes, I've found a few really great things that make my life better. In no particular order:
1. A plethora of libraries that provide fantastic study spots.
2. Murray-Dodge Cafe, which translates to free cookies and hot chocolate while visiting with friends.
3. Intramural frisbee. Enough said for anybody that knows me.
4. The marching band: Completely ridiculous, while still managing to sound good... Basically the opposite of Reynolds with much much cooler uniforms.
5. An awesome little church where the people are super nice. I look forward to it starting Sunday afternoon.
6. Pears in the dining hall.
7. The sense of accomplishment I feel when I realize that yes, I really am doing my own laundry.
8. Disney movies every Thursday night for a while.
9. Ice cream. Everywhere.
10. Great friends.
Basically, I'm starting to figure out why people like college, because there are other things that I haven't even mentioned.  I wonder if Tonga is as awesome? Who knows, maybe I'll get to find out some day! 'Ofa atu : )
