First day of school, first day of school!

Well as anyone knows this, the first day is rarely ever hard, because all you're doing is being told what the class is about, and how you'll be graded, and other stuff like that. Pretty easy. I still have one more class but it's not until 3:10, so I have some time.
Sometimes...
I guess I neglected to mention some things lately, actually, it's because I don't make time to post, and when I do post, I forget what I was going to say before. Well, I learned to juggle, sort of, when we saw the speaker... on Friday was it? And, yesterday I got some more supplies for my room. You see, right now I have one power strip coming out of another one, because the other one won't reach for my stuff, very unsafe! So I went out and bought another one that has a longer cord. I also bought a phone. It's way sweet! It has a "base unit" with an answering machine, where I can leave myself a message for reminders and it's cordless too. And it came with two other cordless phones that I can plug in anywhere else in the house, which is my dorm room for now. Kinda pointless to have three phones in my one room right? Well they're all plugged in and everything, so I'll be sure not to miss a call.
there are too many things
Oh, and I was thinking about the cost of my dorm room. For the price I am paying I know for a fact that I could get a very decent apartment, for 10 months and pay just little more for utilities and stuff. That means one more month than I am getting, not having to share a bathroom with other people, getting more than just one room, and I could probably find one only half the distance from campus for about the same price. Plus, I haven't really found anyone to talk to on my floor. It seems that they tend to keep to themselves, so it's boring.
to read in the lines,
In other news, or stuff I don't usually forget to post, Saturday was the last day of Destination, because the only thing to do on Sunday was to pick up books together. Everybody in my group already got theirs, so we were done. On Saturday, we didn't have to do anything until 2:00. At 2:00 we went to see a speaker who spent is time as a retiree helping organize and feed hungry children in Africa, more specifically an area around a city that was founded or started because of the placement of a leprosy hospital. What happens is, in Africa, the hospitals aren't responsible for food or care of the patient other than their medical needs. It's up to the family to bring food and change bedding and other stuff for the patient. So naturally a city was sort of built around the area. They want to make the hospital capable to treat other illnesses. They are doing so much more than just that with the hospital though. The retiree happens to be a retired carpenter, so he has overseen the building of several new school buildings and houses for the teachers and doctors that are willing to help. They also, like I said, help to feed the hungry, and they are trying to boost the "economy" which practically doesn't really exist yet in most area's. They try to help the families by buying baskets that the women make and camisoles that they were taught to so. They also buy flutes from the people that they were taught how to make by a man in Ames. Every year they have people who sign up to volunteer their expertise in the medical world. And there is more, but I didn't get to do any of that stuff. Our group signed up to help package food to shipped over there.
that you can't concentrate on
I didn't get to do that either, I got to help bring already packed boxes of food down to the loading dock, and unpacked food from the semi up to the Great Hall where they were packing food. My expertise in driving pallet jacks from working at Fareway, came in handy. I was pretty proud of actually knowing what the heck I was doing with the jack.
what is between the lines.
Then, later that night, we got to see a comedian who was pretty famous. But then again, you probably wouldn't know his name if I did drop it, so I won't. After that, they had a video dance set up for us and some pizza, free I might add. I took some pizza and left, with the plan to come back in a little bit. I didn't go back, I was too tired.
Life's been good to me so far,
On Sunday, I was invited to Greg's celebration of his and his grandma's birthday parties at Old Chicago, good food. Kelvin and I hung out the rest of the day, before he had to go to work. I went to Target again, and found Wal-mart, along with a mall and yet another branch of my bank. That makes three that I know of. Where I come from there are only two. Good to know. I found out that the dining hall isn't open on Sunday's, but, the "restaurant" down stairs is. I ate there and stopped by Henry's afterward to hang out. That's actually all I did on Sunday, I thought I had a res. hall meeting; nope, it's tonight.
and 'e is making it better all the time.
Today, I had three classes this morning. I also rearranged my room today, but I'll probably end up changing it back... I also have another class, as previously stated, and also as previously stated I have a meeting tonight.
