Hairbrushes Don't Last Longer if You Freeze Them

I learned how to make coffee today. I also learned that we keep it in the freezer because that makes it last longer. However, this only works for food. Hairbrushes last the same amount of time, regardless of their frozen experiences.

Today was the first day of classes. On the way to class, Becca made the observation that the freshman girls are probably the ones wearing dresses. I made the observation that the ones carrying coffee are probably upperclassman. (After reading the assigned chapter from one of my Psych books, however, I discovered that our method was not a reliable source of gaining knowledge. Oh well.)

Mornings are not my friend, but my classes seem interesting. My Research Methods and Statistics professor, (new guy; he seems cool) had us fill out a survey. Half the questions were asking if we were terrified of math. I'm not. I'm probably the only one in the class who loves it. But again, I'm basing my assumptions on superstition, not science, so I can't write that into my literature review. Personality Theory was about what I expected it to be. My professor is an extrovert. I really hope her understanding of introverts is sound, because I hate group work and unsupervised discussions.

Four hours is a long time to sit in your room when you don't have tons of homework to do, but napping feels so unproductive...

I have friends in my fiction writing class. That's nice. The professor asked about my favorite novelists. Is it acceptable within the English department for my one and only favorite novelist to be J.K. Rowling? 'Cause if not, I may need to switch to math... or start reading more.

Rain is way more annoying now that the walk is so long.

I've been hearing rumors about the Kairos freshies. They're apparently pretty outgoing. One of them knows my cousin. Is it creepy that I know that? Yes? Okay... I want to meet them, but I have a class during the picnic. I'll be showing up fashionably late, like a boss. Don't let them leave.

So yup. That was my day. Pretty much just straight chillin' 'til tomorrow. Peace.

I See You Running Through Schimmels

So I haven't posted anything in a few weeks. I've been packing and saying my goodbyes. You know. Lovey-dovey stuff. ANYWAY, I finally moved into my new dorm/apartment yesterday!!! I've been packing for a month, and I still forgot things. But for the most part, it's amazing. Last year, my room had just enough space for two lofted beds with our desks and dressers underneath them. Not this year... 

Look at the size of my closet. 

Look at all this space!


This is my desk. 

I have a fort under my bed...


And the best part...


I can creep on Schimmels. 

(Unfortunately, Schimmels can also creep on me...)

This is going to be a great year.
