First Day of School!

Another Semester, another list :) Enjoy.

I think the sidewalks should be set up like roads, with a bike/longboard/skateboard lane and a fast lane and signs that say "slow traffic keep right." I also think it should be socially acceptable to make honking noises if someone cuts you of while walking and then continues to walk at a snails pace in freezing weather, and then makes it impossible to get around them. I'm just saying is all.

Today was a day where I didn't take offense to the fact that a girl asked me if she had met me before. I laughed and said "We've had a couple of classes together and we were in a group together for a project before." I didn't feel as bad cause I didn't remember her name.

Service Learning. I've decided that this is an ingenious program. I've done it before in a class last year and its great. You get class credit while helping some aspect of the community. I really like that cause since high school I've been a bit service deprived. All three years of high school I was up to my neck in every and any service project that Joshua Bagley could get his hands on, and since then I've missed being so submerged. I'm excited to do some service learning this semester.

Even if people walk slow in freezing cold Logan, I still love it here. The campus, the atmosphere I'm a little giddy over it :)

My life is full of awkward situations. And on a scale of one to ten on how well I handle those situations (ten being very well, and 1 being very poorly) I usually end up between -2 or 0. Today, however, I ran into a split second, potentially very awkward situation and I give myself at least a 7. Kudos to me for breaking a streak of awkward idiotness for an entire thirty seconds.

I've recently decided that being a college student means being pretty much a selfish being.** You don't have to plan around anyone else and you really don't even have to tell anyone what you're doing.

To re-emphasize what has already been stated at least 200 times, I am an English nerd. I sat in my Linguistics class, practically on the edge of my seat. I'm really excited about that one, a class just about words. How they sound, how you use them, and how they can work for you. If this isn't love, I don't know what is.

I hope this semester is as enjoyable as I'm anticipating it to be, and I also hope I don't die in my attempt to take a million classes (ok not really a million, but more than I've taken before.) At any rate, Happy First Day of Sprig Semester 2010!



**When I first wrote this sentence I wrote "... being a college stupid." Freudian slip? I think yes.
