Life at Linfield

I figure it's about damn time I post something readable.

So fall term is almost over. I'm taking aqua aerobics, intermediate algebra, music and change, and survey of psychology.

Registration for spring term started this week, and so far it has been chaos. Freshmen, including myself, have been stressing ourselves out, trying to get into the classes we want. The classes fill up fast, and of course, upper-classmen get first dibs. I'm registered for eight credits right now (aerobic fitness, intro to personality psych, and ecology of ecosystems), and on the waitlist for four more (intro to statistics, yoga, personal success skills, and fundamentals of philosophy). Spring term should be pretty nice.

One of the things I like about college classes as opposed to high school is that you choose your own schedule. I have a three-hour gap in between my psych and math classes.

On to residence life.

I currently reside in Grover Hall, a 30-person all-female dorm. I'm on the third floor in a triple. My roommates, Sara and Lauren, are pretty awesome. There haven't been any major problems here, really.

However, outside the room, there are some crazy things going on. In the past couple of weeks, two people have been hit by a drunk driver, a drug bust (where the woman eventually came back for her car then camped out behind our dorm for two days and hasn't left campus yet), and last night, someone was taken out of Theta on a gurney last night...

Like I said, crazy.

We had two fish at one point, two bettas named Homage and Fishy. Fishy's still doing well, but Homage developed a fungal infection and passed away last week. Rest his fishy soul. Instead, Lauren bought another betta named Darrell (who is the exact coloring of Fishy, black head with iridescent blue fins and red ventral fins, but is a veiltail as opposed to a crowntail). I found this rather amusing.

Thanksgiving break starts next week, and I opted to stay on-campus for the week. Room to myself? Yes :D

The one thing I can complain about, however, is the fact that my account is empty now... which means I can't buy any food on-campus until february. And I have very little food in my room =/ What I do have is college food though... ramen, a costco case of generic vitamin water, and cereal. Fun stuff.

That's about all for now. I hope to try posting weekly.

Peace.
