Hmm, so what's new? Well, I'm in college, more than half-way through the fall semester, in fact. It's great. I really am enjoying it. The work is... different to say the least. I enjoy having classes only 3 or 4 days a week rather than every day, and I do appreciate having 3-hour lab sessions because they aren't rushed, even though they are at more inconvenient times. It's hard for me to compare to what I had last year, but I'd say the homework load is similar to what was assigned in AP classes.
I REALLY miss my van. I don't get off campus much other than for church or an occasional thing with a group of friends. I want to be able to drive myself to the grocery store, or go somewhere where something is open on Sunday (campus buildings/stores practically shut down on Sunday, and enforced Sabbath, although everyone knows that Sunday is the day of catching up on weekend homework). I suppose it is good that I don't have it, though, because then I'd be asked to drive people around all the time, which could be a pain. And not having to pay for gas this year is good too.
Hmmm, what else? I think I had swine flu a couple weeks ago. I can't be sure, though, because I never went to the health center to get the test for it. Whatever it was, it was my worst case of flu in many years. I'm better now, and I hope that I now have an immunity from it for the rest of the season.
I really like the people here. My dorm is amazing. Our floor does so much together. Second Bennink! Woot Woot! I also really enjoy my Calc group. We have lunch together pretty much every weekday, and have AWESOME discussions. We talked about infinity, God, psychology, philosophy, theology, and the fourth-dimension and beyond, all in one lunch period last week. Amazing.
In Engineering we had a bottle-rocket project a little while ago. It was fun, I have a scar on my chin, and our teacher hasn't graded our reports yet, and that's a bit annoying. Now we're doing a service project where my group is building a rig to help a man with cerebral palsy put pamphlets into bags. It must be very difficult being just as smart and cool as anyone else but having only a hand you cannot use. The project's a work in progress right now, but I'm optimistic.
Yeah, well, if you think of anything you want to know about my life, just ask me in the comments.
