   an inquisitive mind may not know all, but it's on the right track
so I have survived my FIRST 2 DAYS of college. Effing hard to believe, considering I was not even a high school sophomore, only 14 years old, when I started here.

Now, I am less than a month away from turning 18, and in college. Not that I ever doubted i would go to college, but I can honestly say that 3 years ago, i did NOT expect to be here, like this. And it's a good thing.

I have only been here...wow not long at all! almost 2 weeks, is that really it??? I haven't been here long, but it feels like I've lived here forever and always done this. When you get down to it, I'm truly a scholarly girl at heart =)

Studying is better here. It's actually INTERESTING. I really like my Japanese class. I'm taking it from the very beginning, but that's good because it will give me a TINY break, and because I can relearn everything I've forgotten/never learned. Also, the Japanese classes here are A LOT LOT LOT of fun! i really enjoyed myself this evening.

Also enjoyable is biology. The bio lecture is HUGE, 280+ students. but my lab starts at 6 AM so no one else wants to join it. But I like that it's small. Today we had a lot of fun ^_^ not knowing what to do because the procedure was not so well written and the spectophotographer machine thing was a WTF to work

I'm REALLY looking forward to my ESR lab next week; FIELD TRIIIIIIIIIP!!!! xD awesomeness. Going to be doing a little study at a creek. I LOVE ESR (ESR=Environmental Science=my major) a lot; the Professor is pretty cool, and I can agree with him. The thing about ESR is it's a PROBLEM SOLVING science. Not the use of hippies to prove their dirty hippie truths, but used to study a problem, find solutions to the problems, and consequences to those solutions, while trying to accomodate to everyone's values. Complicated, but I look forward to it.

As to my effing Studies in Western Cultures class...it will be interesting, at least. LOL. I'm not too sure on the professor; he seems pretty nice, but REALLY smart (it's Honors, though) and honestly, a bit intimidating. He claims not to like that condescending relationship between expert and learner, textbook and student, but he uses a large, perhaps unnecessarily wordy, somewhat complex vocabulary.

It's like he talks in circles, or something. Maybe my own vernacular is a bit...crude, a poor use for a tool as magnificent as language, but that's the thing about me: I'm honest, and I'm me. I don't kiss ass no matter how far it will get me, I try not to be condescending or stuck up or snooty, I try not to lie to people, that sort of thing. This isn't a RULE; I can be VERY
manipulative when I want to be. Not particularly proud of that, but hey, it's true.

Anyway, yeah, those are my classes, very exciting business. So far my only real social life is Becky, and Antonio and Mayte thru texts xD I'm so cool like that

Note to self: BRING LUNCH to biology...LOL xD

And NOTE TO ALL:

If i don't get around to your sites, I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY =( I'm so busy with studying and all, I don't even know when I'm going to have time to do laundry, or worse, TAKE A SHOWER >_<

I wrote this as I practiced Japanese so yeah. I'll try to get around better than an STD, though, so... >_>

ttyl!!! sorry for having such a long shlong post!thank you!
