So last night I decided to get a blog. I was zoning out in front of my computer, trying not to fall asleep, ranting to myself about something, when I decided I should put my rant out there for people to see. Unfortunately, I did not do this. This is because I do not remember what that rant was. But it does not matter. The point is, I decided that the world needed to be exposed to my mind. After all, how else would it know what I am thinking?
And that is the story of how I got a blog.
Perhaps I should now tell you all how life has been for me.
I am currently at Otterbein University, and I am enjoying myself immensely. It is quite a beautiful campus, and the people here are very nice. I especially like the theater people, even though I only know a few by name. The theater students will walk around campus and randomly burst into song. It is quite wonderful.
Even the sorority and fraternity people seem nice, although, to be frank, I have met very few of them. And they are apt to throw parties which inevitably get busted by the police and campus security.
Speaking of campus security, they wear red shirts. This makes me laugh.
I like the girls who run cross country. They are all really nice. I just feel like they all like competitive running much more than I do. I am pretty sure I will be doing Marching Band next year.
I am really enjoying my classes. Especially Philosophy 100. It is super interesting, and I really like the professor. This class really makes me think, something I enjoy quite a bit. I am definitely taking more of these classes.
I find myself enjoying math quite a bit, too. I think this is mainly because my professor is super exited about math and that sort of attitude is catching. He made us a mix of math music. It is quite good, and he says he will be creating more of the sort. I am eagerly awaiting those.
I am also taking a Kickboxing class. This is quite invigorating, but it makes me realize how little flexibility I have. I do enjoy a good workout, though.
My other class is called "Growing Up in America." We have been reading books about immigrants and the children of immigrants. It is quite interesting to see how they view us, and a bit alarming to see how we treat them.
What else? I have joined the Literary Magazine. Our winter theme is "Illusions." I am quite excited to submit to it and to see the other submissions.
The other day, there was a fire alarm, right as I was getting ready to get in the shower... I had to scramble to get dressed and grab enough clothes to not freeze outside. However, it was very nice to talk to some of the girls in the dorm. Especially the ones who were in marching band in high school. These are the girls I find I have the most in common with and with whom I can hold an actual conversation.
Speaking of marching band, the one here marches really weird. It looks like they are lunge-marching, rather than the heel-toe form I am used to seeing. And there is no pit, so I will probably have to play cymbals... Ah, well. Such is life.
Hmm. That's about it. Suffice to say I am really enjoying college so far. :-)
