Not Much to Speak Of

Hello!

I've heard raving reviews about my blog, and now I feel like I have something live up to. So much pressure! Okay, not really, actually, I'm quite flattered that so many care enough to read about the exciting mundaneness of my life. I don't know if that even made any sense. Oh no, now I'm getting self-conscious...

I'm currently sitting next to Sannan, he's from India. He's the closest thing I've got to a roommate, I guess, as he lives in the single next to my single. He's trying to make his wireless internet work, a common problem among campus-living students these days.

Anyway, I started off the morning by waking up and getting out of bed. Then getting back into bed after realizing that class didn't start until 10:00am, and there was no reason to be up yet. My first class of the day was Western Civ, which was just super. We talked more about Mesopotamia. I'm not sure what else to tell you there. I had a big two-hour gap today between Civ and Math, so I had a very European lunch spanning at least an hour. They served rabbit today with green beans and some sort of pasta; I ended up opting for the pasta. Don't get me wrong, rabbit is delicious, but I'm not sure I want to eat cafeteria-style rabbit. I'll try it next time it comes around. Math class was another spectacular; by the end of class my ears were numb to the grating German. I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff I learned in my math class freshman year with Mrs. Parker... But that's okay, a little review never hurt anyone.

Then English class finally came around. Dr. Matthews is something of an amazing caricature. He's so goofy. I'm not sure I know where to begin, so I'll have to write more about him once I have a better idea of him. He's just such a silly, patriotic Irishman--it's delightful. After that I hopped on the four o'clock Ikea shuttle and bought a few things at Ikea, totaling about 90 francs. I purchased a floor lamp, bath mat, area rug, mixing bowls, cereal bowls, hangers, lightbulbs, a hanging net thing to put toiletries in (there's no cabinet in the bathroom, which is sort of annoying). And I think that might be all... it feels like I'm missing something.

The Blues to Bop jazz festival is starting tonight at 9:00pm. I have an 8:30am class though, so I think I might skip it tonight and head out tomorrow night instead. It's going through at least Sunday night; maybe Monday night too. I'm tired. I think I might go grocery shopping with Katie tomorrow... Oh yeah, I need to go grab my hanging laundry too...

I'll write more soon! Hopefully I'll have more to write about...

Smile :-)
