Post 1 - lafayette:
so college is amazing. i haven't hated a thing. (except for that walk to griffin everyday...grr.)
met a lot of awesome people in the honors dorm - Our lobby is the greatest. It's black and white checkerboard floor houses a steinway and tons of couches. I didn't realize it until we were digging through old newspaper stacks on the dupree 3rd floor that our dorm was rated #1 in the state more than any other dorm. incidentally, I ended up sans a roomie, so mine is particularly big. Even bigger than my room at home.
(so come and visit!!)
classes are great - i am more in love with french than i ever was. (unimaginable, eh?) My professor - Dr. Ryon - was born in Paris, so her accent is particularly thick. I quickly learned to mimic it - pulling off an amazing "foreign exchange student". My nickname in the dorm is "Frenchie", and whenever someone new comes to the lobby i tell them my 'life story' full of many wonderful memoires en France. Last night I even convinced 4 Rugby players that i studied at Aix de Marseille for 3 years. When they asked where it was, i said, "in Spain...right next to Mexico, you know?" They all nodded their head in agreement.
heheh. i've met some intelligent people on campus.
ANYWAYS, back to ...whatever.
As you kiddos already know, i tested out of 101 and was a little bored in 201. The prof picked up on this and invited me to her Conversational 316 class which i promptly dropped.
:D
it would have thrown me past 20 hours. 20 hours i did not have. So i settled with 201 and french club for this semester.
English H-115 is going to be a pain in the butt. From what i can tell, my professor is one of those that thinks her class is the only one i am taking this semester. yippie. i should have known better when there were only 11 to begin with and 7 after one week. I'm hoping that if i can stick it out - i might get something out of it all. As long as she keeps assigning Steven King stuff.
Math 105 weeth Ratinan Boonklurb! Ratinan say: "make sure you clear on 6 and 4...because they look alike sometime, and you should clear yourself of mistake of mixing up!"
i REALLY should have considered the AP test. "not in the mood" will never again be my excuse.
while he was explaining [[ how you remember vertical lines and horizontal lines and odd number cause de word "odd" only have 3 letter in it, and "even" have 4 - even number of letter ]] i wrote a little something.
My Boonklurb Haiku:
Ratinan with chalk
marks up the board in engrish
i wish i were drunk
Moving right along. PolS = great. yay for liberal Swanson. Keep on keepin' on, kiddo. i just love it when a witty professor offends a student...
message me sometime and ask me about "Tiki Man/Palm Beach"
Humanities. what a pointless class. yeahhh, my prof is pretty cool, but it's at 8 in the morning! thanks for screwing my schedule over, UL!
Honors Seminar...pretty cool. open forum, debates, etc. Come see my seminar (which was one of 3 [all grad students] that unanimously got voted in) on October 21. [11:00 - 11:50] Student Union Forum. yeeeah.
so anyways. life has been busy. a GREAT busy. movie nights, the strip, coffee houses, pizza boys.
speaking of.
one more funny story before i go to dinner with the girls.
long story short:
so my friend calls papa john's the other night. the dude on the tele wouldn't cooperate. I get on the phone and order the pizza. they put me through to everyone there. they call me back, asking what drink we ordered (like they didn't type it into the computer the first time) i talk to sean, jonathan, simon, nick...and whoever else.
when they finally bring the pizza, i asked what the deal was.
his exact words.
"oh...we were just taking bets as to your previous occupation..."
(me: *puzzled*)
"all the guys put down 5 bucks that you were a phone-sex operator."
yeah, my jaw hit the lobby floor...especially since there were many people in there, and he said it rather loud.
hm.
anyways, i need to run. i can't tell you how long it will be before i post again. it's so hard, because TONS of things build up...and, yeah. i hate cramming info into unintelligible posts.
as for my FIRST POST from Lafayette
Lj is OuT
oh, and much love for my monroe/s-town darlings.
call me sometime - you know the number!
