Brr it’s cold. Wanna go get ready for bed but since Maureen’s reading, gotta stay dressed so when Brian calls I can go outside lol.

Anyway, classes started today! I woke up around 10, went to the bookstore (for my free water bottle), UREC to set up my locker and work out (all the ellipticals were taken so I went on the bike and treadmill), showered, and had lunch with this guy Ian (I think that was his name) from White Hall since I couldn’t find my friends. Around 2 I walked to Duke 209 (the same room where I’d had my advising sessions) for anthropology (cultural), and surprisingly most of the class was already there. I was like score, people like to be early around here The girl I sat next to, Shannon, was nice, she lives close to my dorm (in Bell) and at the end of class I got her screenname. The professor, Mrs. Wolf, is also really cool — after class I introduced myself.

Then at 4:15 I had art (two-dimensional design) with Mrs. Mace (a JMU graduate). Found the room with no problem … but the class is huge! It’s like 30 people, with room for only 20 or 25. But some people were on the waiting list, so I guess that’s why. On Wednesday it’ll probably be better. And as soon as I get Dad’s money (’cause my JACard and checking account balances are low) I gotta go to the craft store near the mall and get my supplies package. It’s like $63.29 (discount included), and I need it by next week. Hopefully I’ll be able to go this Wednesday either with Maureen’s friend, Jennifer, or via the bus. How Mrs. Mace teaches will be interesting — she has a degree in photography, so her style will definitely be influenced by that.

Aaand I just finished my anthropology reading. It took frickin’ forever though … gotta get back into the academic reading routine, which definitely isn’t happening yet lol. It took me like 2 hours to read ~35 pages … but it was small text, so I guess it’s not that bad *nods*

Now I’m just hanging out online, leaning towards getting ready for bed soon since I have an 8 am tomorrow on the other side of 81, and still aren’t sure if I have riding or not (plus Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days). Maybe I’ll get lucky and Ann will call me before 2 about the ride situation … ’cause her emails are kinda flaky. Hmm. Guess we’ll have to see what happens.

I wonder where Maureen went … probably to finish laundry, though I hope my typing wasn’t bothering her.

Oh yeah, and I mailed my first letter today! LOL Aunt Ann’s birthday is on Thursday, so I got her a cool square card and managed to buy a stamp and mail it all in the same day. Go me. My next *challenge* will be picking up Dad’s package if it arrives as such … I know I get a slip of paper in my box saying so, but dunno where to actually pick it up. But Reader’s Digests aren’t exactly bulky, so not sure.

Anyway, it’s 11, so I’m going … and will talk to Brian however late he decides to call, if that Adios!
