my first day of REAL college

or at least thats how it feels. CSF was so small and not like a real university. i mean yeah thats what i loved about it that it was small and felt more homey than this does. but i gotta admit i kinda like feeling like a real college student XD

ok so the toilet is unclogged, i heart whichever of my roommates or their friends or whatever figured out how to work that damn plunger it wasnt working! D8 i felt bad being one of the first awake and not getting it unclogged but i had class i had to get to! D8. oh well.

so i had breakfast in the cafeteria (because having someone else make it is quicker and i didnt sleep well last night, too excited and i really need something that blocks light in front of my window because of that damn street lamp DX) anyway i had a breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes and green chile and cheese. OM NOM NOM not bad for a breakfast, i also took a banana but i was full so i stuck it in my backpack and went off to find my class.

lol ok getting to my first class was hilarious. i thought i was lost about five times but ended up finding a random back way through a parking lot and behind one of the dorms to the central walk way and found out that my classroom was hella easy to find. right behind the fountain next to the Student Union. so i was early :D yay. well my first class was Western Civ and while yeah it might turn out to be boring and the teacher is kinda scary and she talks too fast i also have a smaller discussion class later this week with one of the student aid people thingers so that will probably help alot. at least i hope it does.

mk then i had lunch. since i was right there by the student union i decided to go in and try what they've got. i looked around and decided to go back to the first place i saw, a local coffee chain called Satellite Coffee. i got a veggie wrap thing that came in a box with carrots and i also got a tall chai latte. i was very pleasently surprised with their chai :D very good! i only ate half the wrap and my banana from breakfast, the other half and the carrots are part of tomorrow's Bento :3

ok two hours is waaaay longer than you think it is when you have nothing to do, by the time i was done with lunch i still had an hour and a half until my next class so i decided to go find it just in case i got lost XD lol. it was much easyier to find than i thought it was and it was really beautiful in the area so i sat outside against a tree and started on my Western Civ homework (reading the first chapter) but then it started drizzling (its been REALLY nice and cool out almost all day) so i went inside. OMG THE ANTHROPOLOGY BUILDING IS BEAUTIFUL! D8 like seriously beautiful. its a nice adobe building on the outside but around here that means nothing for how the inside is going to look XD but the inside of this is really nice, it had these floors that looked like natural rock (they had a thick glaze over them so i have no idea if they were real or not) and really nice traditional New Mexican ceilings :D and then the classroom had even cooler ceilings! i think i'm going to really like Anthropology, a whooooole lot of note taking, my hand was cramping up by the end of the class but still it was very interesting, it made me want to take notes. and the teacher seemed pretty nice lol Dr. Ozzie

my last class of the day was Navajo (a language class not a history class) and on the way to that building i found the art annex and the building that my Astronomy class is in ^__^ so yay! that class is going to be hard but AWESOME i'm totally jazzed and we heard the teacher speak in Navajo today and oh man its a beautiful language i mean just BEAUTIFUL! lol i'm totally a minority in that class but thats kinda cool. some of the students already speak a little Navajo and are taking the class to get better at it so thats also cool :) the teacher seemed really nice, she's a graduate student so she understands what its like to be a student and i found out that i only have to buy one of the books at the store! :D i'm sooo glad i waited to get the book until now cause i would have spent over 200 dollars that i now dont have to! :D whee~ (though i do have to buy two more books for Western Civ....i think the bookstore screwed up cause there were only two when i got there :/)

then my day of classes was over and i started walking along the inside rode along Central to get back here to my apartment. you know you're getting close to where i live cause you can here the band practicing on the lawn i live across from. its awesome. so that was my first day of REAL college here at UNM pretty good for a first day i'd say! :D
