On My Way Home

So I'm sitting at the train station right now, in a rather uncomfortable wooden bench seat. And its really hard to get comfy. Although I guess if they were comfy I might fall asleep. Who makes up these train schedules? 2am? Are you kidding me? What kind of person thinks, oh we should schedule a train for 2am becuase that is such a busy time when everyone wants to travel.

So any way...I definitly over packed. My bags are so stuffed I'm afraid to open them, stuff might come flying out at me. ;) I brought so much stuff to entertain myself since I am going to be sitting in this stupid station for about another 2 hours. I have books (2), homework, my aptop, some food, stuff for registering (since I actually can now), and random stuff I need like my wallet.

So about the registering, its a really long long story, but I guess I have hours to waste. So I never got assigned an academic advisor at the Alive orientation, so I figured once I was assigned one, they would let me know. But then time for registering came around and I still didn't have and advisor. My registration hold was for Thursday at 12:20. So Monday I went to the Student Advising Center and asked them who my advisor was, all they told me was that I had an advisor from the Natural Sciences Department and that I should ask the department. So I called them (the guy was really grumpy about it) and they told me who my advisor was and gave me some contact info. So I e-mailed her that night. By wednesday night she still hadn't e-mailed me back, so I sent her another one. She finally got back to me on Thursady and said that she wouldn't have time to meet with me and that I should get a new advisor. So she gave me the number of some guy I should call. So I called right away, this was around 4:30, but there was no answer so I left a message with a call back number. The guy never called back though. So finally on Friday, after my registration hold had passed, I went to the advising center and said I need an advisor now and I'm changing my major. She sent me to the Natural Sciences Department to pick up my folder which I had to then take to the Biological Sciences Department where they would assign me a new advisor. The lady there was at least nice, she told me she would get back to me as soon as possible with a new advisor. Later that day I got an e-mail with my new advisor's name and contact info. So I e-mailed him right away and he actually got back to me only an hour later! So now he lifted the hold and I can register, and we will meet later. Yay!

My First Blog

So I finally decided to get a blog. Not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it or put in it. But whatever.

So college life so far...pretty fun I guess. Lots of new friends and plenty to do. The classes really aren't as hard as I thought they would be. And I've only been here for like two months and I have switched my major already. I realized a major in Wildlife Ecology wasn't going to get me anywhere in life. So now its Zoology. Basically the same but it leads to a few more doors. It means I get to take fun classes like math 140 (that's like biological math, whatever that's supposed to be) but it should be so much more fun than boring regular math.

Can't wait for next semester, there are going to be a lot of new changes. Like I get to move in with Mechelle! It will be so much better and so much fun! My roommate right now just sleeps all day, talks to herself a lot, and cooks food that smells really weird. Oh and she always seems to have this constant runny nose that is so irritating. But anyway...I also get to take a bunch new classes that will hopefully be more fun.

Thanksgiving break is coming up soon too! Yay! Only 2 more days to go. But I am really nervous about riding the the train for the first time and going alone. But oh well, I'll survive. Well I guess I should get back to studying for my chem and anthropology exams that I have tomorrow. And oh darn! I have an essay due tonight too. :( A boring paper for english that is basically about nothing.
