Whew! It's been a crazy week, and it's only Tuesday.

School started on Monday, but I moved into my dorm Saturday. My roommate didn't show up until Sunday night, so I spent a lot of time over the weekend just trying to figure out what she was like by looking at (but no touching) her stuff. She lived here in the fall, and just hadn't gotten back from the break yet. She seems pretty nice, but is never around. She spends a lot of time with her boyfriend. Suits me fine- more privacy for me.

My laptop is still broken, and may be for several weeks. It all depends on whether the system restore disc I'm still waiting for works. I'm using my roommate's computer (she's cool about letting me use it and her TV, as I haven't gotten one yet) to update.

If only she had Photoshop...

But classes are cool- I'm really liking my painting class so far, even if it is all oils. I've only finished three oil paintings- one was horrible, the other two were great. The only one I of those I have a pic of is this one:



Okay, so it's not fantastic (I don't like the sky color-came out wrong) but it's not bad.

My sculpture class looks to be... interesting, and my Shakespeare class should be pretty cool. The teacher's nice, if a little strict, but I'm confident in my Shakespeare-reading abilities. My teacher last semester was amazed I was a freshman, so that's a good sign, right?

My last class is in about another hour- my Geographic Perspectives class. It's supposed to be all about the Arab-Israeli conflict, so it should be interesting... I hope.

And I'm already meeting WAY more people than I did last semester. I made a total of three friends here last sem, because I didn't live on campus and never went anywhere but classes.

And I'll be coming home on weekends, and be able to visit my friends there. So my life is getting pretty busy already, which will give me less time to sit around and do nothing but play on the computer, so I probably won't be on as much. Sorry!
