Back at it...
There is one thing I like about returning to college. One thing, and one thing only. They always start things off on Mondays, as opposed to my high school, which would start things off on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and occasionally Thursdays. It just really throws things off when you don't start on Monday. Monday- even though it remains a "no man's land" of unpredictability- is also the day for starting things. It just makes sense starting on Monday. Perhaps it's a cultural thing, like in my Sociology 101 class. Maybe for my culture-breaking experiment I can start my week on a Tuesday!
Anyways, the good news first:
~It snowed!
~As far as non-class life is concerned, nothing has changed.
~I'm still having frequent sightings of the Language Lab tech and a Writing Consultant. Although that might not be good news. I'm gonna say it is though, b/c it's something familiar.
~I'm getting better at knitting.
~I'm not going to have any big tests/projects/papers/exams in Ant 204.
Bad News:
~It snowed~
~I'm hungry.
~There's no one to talk to in any of my classes. Yet.
~People I sit by tend to have 1 or 2 friends in the class with them, eliminating any possible chance of them talking to me.
~So far I have speeches in 2 of my classes. Gulp.
~So far I have chronic group discussion in 2 of my classes.
~So far I have constant readings scheduled for 2 of my classes.
~I've got a ton of pesky 3 pager essays slated.
~I still have 2 classes to go.
~I have to do a "breaking social norms" project for Soc 101, which involves, well, breaking social norms. Seeing as my life's mission is to blend in, this does not sit or bide well for me.

Dankje!!! I wrote this after the first day of class, and it wasn't quite as bad as I make it sound. Walking into a roomful of strangers is never an easy thing for me... :P It's getting better- as class goes on you get to know people and it's okay. I complain a lot, but I'm really doing okay. Oh, and I don't always use the simplest English on this blog, so if you want me to explain something just ask! :)
