Academic writing is pretty fucking awesome, the teacher seems really cool! I like her :] She's like "oh yeah, call me by my first name if you want, just pronounce it right, okay?"
Computer Science is 25 students: 20 guys and 5 girls. Goucher is 65% female. Oh, comp sci, that's where all the guys on campus hide XD It's JAVA though, which is what I took last year, so it'll be pretty easy. It seems like a more fun incarnation of it, though.
Psychology is a giant lecture :O I've never had a class of more than 20 students in my entire life...and the lecture is more than 50! It's really insane. I'm real excited though, it seems like such an interesting subject...it may end up being my major if I really like it :]
My lab is actually canceled tomorrow, so I literally have no classes :D My roommate and I are meeting up for lunch after her class, but that's all :D Oh, and then there's an LGBT meeting from 4:30 to 6:00 that I'm going to as well.
Anyway. I've been making friends. Randi (roommate) is definitely a perfect roommate. I'm not even kidding, it is perfect. We get along so well and have enough similarities and differences to make it perfect :D SERIOUSLY. So happy about that!!!! I was ultra concerned. We both are like, half social, half not, too, it's great :D AND she has a boyfriend back home, so she understands that I have to talk to Patti a lot. It's wonderful.
Maddie = a pretty amazing friend as well. She's like...ultra awesome vegan protester etc from DC, which is super interesting. She's teaching us how to make our own pads :O It's very interesting and spiff. I am much amused by all of it. Also she practically lives in my dorm room, because she lives down the hall but has a crappy roommate.
MORE ABOUT TODAY NOW! After psych, Cait (met her a few days ago) and I went to Pearlstone Cafe for lunch. Goucher has three eating places: Stimson, Huebeck, and Pearlstone. Stimson is basically a giant dining hall with a huge selection. Huebeck is mostly vegetarian and all completely organic. Pearlstone has a lot of prepared stuff and basic stables of food. I had chicken tenders and fries and then bought sushi to put in the minifidge for later.
After that, Randi and I went out to get sticky tack from Micheal's...and ended up buying those fuzzy posters that you color in. KICK ASS, man. Mine has kitties and flowers on it, hers is a complex celtic knot. Also, I bought a wooden stegosaurus to color in. We also went to Best Buy so we could get a TV cable and I needed a bag for my laptop.
Then tonight was the opening parade and festivities, which was pretty awesome. I put up pictures on my facebook, as always, which makes it really convenient (for me at least). I had to leave early because we had to sit in the grass...and I am allergic to grass D: I had to go back to my room and get anti-itch cream. I lolled around for a bit too.
Oh man, so Maddie came back to the room with us and we hung out. We talked to people in the hall for awhile and ended up leaving our door open all evening. It inspired a lot of people to come in, which was cool :D So, Maddie told us about some of the stuff she does and we colored the fuzzy posters.
Now I'm super tired and NEED to sleep, it's late D: Though it's not like I need to wake up for anything...I do have to rearrange the room though, so the TV is near the cable port in the wall D: It's a mess...I'll just work on it tomorrow while Randi is at class.
I really miss Patti, too. I don't want every single essay to be about that, but holy shit. Now everyone is on campus, so I'm seeing couples around and I just want her here with me. I love her so much and I just miss her loads all the time. It's easy not to think about it sometimes, but other times I just want to cry and just have her here to hold onto. I can't wait until October...I will see her then!!!! :D :D :D
ANYWAY!!! HOLY SHIT. SLEEP. ALSO.
GIVE ME LAYOUT SUGGESTIONS!!!
I need to change the layout on http://www.setsuntamew.net/ someday and I have no idea what to change it to...help!

This is so exciting! I'm glad you're settling into your classes. Psych is fun.

wow its wonderful that you and your roommate get along (:
sounds like you had a pretty good day.

My roommate and I are awesome friends already, it's really great :D

You make me miss not going to a REAL college. I mean, I went to a technical school. I had 1 chunk of classes Monday through Thursday - 2 classes a day. It was like going to high school for half a day. I kind of wish I had lived in a dorm (instead of with boyfriend) and whatnot. I wish I could've had a half day of classes and had half a day to work, research, do homework, etc. Do you plan on getting a job, or just focusing on school for now?
I'm insanely jealous. I think sometimes I moved too fast through life. I know you miss Patti, but hopefully you can enjoy all your new friends too? :)

I love my college life...living in a dorm is so much fun and I have made SO many friends! I love it :D And the class schedule is really convenient :] Also, I am still working at Gamestop! I transferred to one in the mall next to Goucher :D
Aw, don't be jealous! It's difficult too, and I would give anything to have Patti with me...though my new friends are SUPER awesome :D
