first day!

ok. so so much has happened and is going to happen here (i hope) that i thought i would start a blog. also there have been quite a few people wanting to know what's going on down here so here ya go. well last night i met quite a few people. most of the time i've just been going up to random people and talking to them. i guess it works. the first people i just asked to sit with them at dinner and then never left them that night. (they actually liked me, i'm not some weirdo.) anyway then there was some kind of transfer student mixer at the ballroom next door in the civic center that i was like an hour late to because i forgot about it (luckly i was just in time for the mixer part of it.) anyway today was the first day of classes... well this is just on my mind cause i just took a shower but the shower here is so dumb. it's an okay temp for like 30 sec then it starts to scald your skin off for like 5 sec, then it's freezing for another 5, and then it's fine again. it's pretty much not cool. anyway i drove to class today cause my first class on mon. & wed. is like 30 blocks away (not exaggerating). it was the coolest drive ever. i got to drive all the way down bull st. and around all these beautiful squares with amazing historic houses and then around forsyth park. it was awesome. then it rained (interesting i know.). no but i guess the rain here stinks really bad cause the whole city smelled like pizza & poop. then the rest of the day i've been trying to make my room a home (meaning 2 trips to walmart and a trip to staples and target). anyway i just got back from the gym. it wasn't really that awesome. they didn't even have a locker room so i was forced to change in the bathroom. but the cool part is they have a live dj there like mixing dance music and stuff. i was like, "who is that weird guy standing behind a table with headphones?" also the treadmills have like touch screens and you can play the tv on it and put your ipod on this dock thing. anyway, i hope i didn't bore you too much... oh yeah i forgot, when i went to walmart today i was walking down an isle talking to my dad on the phone and not paying attention and i looked up and there was this guy getting arrested right in front of me. it was definitely strange. i wanted to take a picture on my phone but it makes a loud noise so... anyway tomorrow is day numba 2!
