First day of classes!

This morning classes started for me at 9:30. It's not a bad schedule. Actually, I think that's a good starting time for me, because if I didn't have classes at least this early, I'd never be able to force myself to wake up and get things done. So I went to German. Not surprisingly, the teacher spoke German for all but a few sentences in the class. I managed to follow, but just barely. I suspect I'm just out of practice from the summer. I had only a ten-minute passing time to get across campus to Catlett. I made it with the help of a sophomore in my German class who was also heading to that building (Derrick, a music major). Understanding Music was fine, but I'm pretty sure I zoned out a few times, which won't be good for that class. The teacher was pretty clear when he said that ANYTHING that came up in class would be fair game for exams. After that I had two hours for lunch before my next class. I wasted a little bit of time in my dorm, ate alone in the caf (note to self: bring a book next time), and went to CHEM lecture. Huge class, but that's no surprise. It'll take some getting used to, but it won't be as hard as I originally anticipated, I don't think. Once again I had a few hours to waste before Orientation to Professional Meteorology. I dawdled in the dorm and then went to catch the bus, which was actually a trolley. The class ran over time, so we all missed the bus, but there were enough people that someone offered to carpool and I made it back to the dorm.
Now on to the more exciting things. Slightly, anyhow. Last night there was a floor meeting. Our RA asked for volunteers to be the floor president(s) of RSA (Resident Student Association). I didn't really know much about it, but I raised my hand anyway. So, at 7 tonight I had a meeting to go to for that. I think I zoned out again. But I got the gist of it. RSA sets up a lot of social events, particularly those that take place in or around the dorms. Ice cream socials, a haunted house on Halloween, and we rent out movies and recreation equipment (pool cues, ping-pong paddles). Well, not only did I sign up for office hours (a requirement), but I also signed up to be an exec, which means I will be working in the RSA office in my dorm building from 7-11 every Thursday night. It also means that I might get a free trip to Arizona in November! And a trip to Arkansas, I guess. It also means that I will probably get to spend a fair amount of time with the extremely good-looking Adams RSA President, Richard. Nice. Yeah, but basically I get to sit in the office and play video games and watch movies (and maybe study) for a few hours a week. Not a bad deal. And it looks really good should I apply to be an RA next year.

That's all for now.
