Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been quite busy and all, but I think I've finally caught up with everything, or successfully put it off, because I'm home for Michigan's Fall Break. I came home for the weekend, and we have Monday and Tuesday off as well. I leave on Tuesday in the afternoon to return to Ann Arbor for classes beginning ( Read more... )

The weeks are really flying by here. We've already finished week three; I'm much happier now that classes have started. Welcome Week was slow and mundane, but with classes, there's always something to do. For example, right now I am procrastinating a short English paper that is due Monday. I know, I know--due Monday and I haven't even started ( Read more... )

I should say this: I can't possibly take credit for brilliance of the subject title because it was taken from a University of Michigan College Democrats t-shirt I bought on Monday. I like the "elephant" joke, though. I know and appreciate that UM is a highly politicized campus, with many politically intune and active students. But, is it wrong ( Read more... )

An incredible (note: I find myself using that word often lately) number of events and happenings have occured since I last updated, and I don't nearly remember them all, but I'll write about the few I do recall.
The homework load has been growing steadily, especially from Spanish 275. We had five twenty-some question worksheets to complete that ( Read more... )

Today was Day One of college life for me, and it wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be. So, if you're just that bored enough, I'm going to give the update as I promised and walk through my day.
First up was English 125. As I predicted, no familiar face in that class. The professor is Dr. Kirsten Fogh, and she's a short, middle aged ( Read more... )

I'm here, all moved in and settled down. Thus far, college has been like Orientation again, minus all the mandatory sessions. It almost feels like a vacation, probably just because classes haven't started yet, and won't until Tuesday. What's even better for me is that while everyone is at class on Tuesday, I don't have to start until Wednesday, ( Read more... )

In about 18 hours, I'll be on my way to Ann Arbor with my parents to move-in to 449 Mosher, Mosher Jordan Residence Hall, 200 Observatory, what UM calls my current address until this summer. My parents will be returning home, what UM calls my permanent address, that same day, but I'll be left there to fend for myself.
Lucikly, I'm all packed up ( Read more... )

A couple nights ago I dreamt that I was a Physics class at UM, which happened to look much like Physics junior year. We were learning about balloons, how they inflate and all that stuff when one thing led to another and I didn't know what the heck was going on (predictable, huh?) and all the material was overwhelming. I think I proceeded to go to ( Read more... )
