those two towers standing tall

so saint scholastica went pretty well to say the least. im not quite sure that it's what i want, but i really have nothing to compare it to, so... the person i roomed with was named kim. easy... think again, kim's roomate was named kim. well less memorization i say to myself. then after settling in another girl comes and we all decide to go for a walk/hike. her name is megan. once again easy. then we go to find rose, finally someone with a different name, but unfourtunatly rose was not to be found so who should join us bet her roomate: KIM!

so yeah i went on a hike with megan, kim, kim, kim and me (megan). what a group! i really can easily admit that i did not have the right shoes for hiking, or that i remember the last time i went hiking for that matter. we found the trail and it was pretty nice. once we had to climb up this really steep hill like 75 feet up and we were leaning just in order to keep going up, and not faceplant. after making it up we had to stop for a couple minutes just to rest (uphill climbing in the forest is pretty strenuious). as we continue on the trail we eventually end up walking on paths right in people's back yards! we're like "hey isn't that someones house?" well we were just following the path. then we come to a really cool lookout point and attempt our way back to where we started and we realize that this has gone on way longer than planned, and we head straingt to dinner were i finally see some familiar people:holly and brenden. it was really good that they were glad to see me, and dinner wasn't too bad either.

that night we did what any college student would do on a sunday night, apparently, we watched desperate housewives. sunday night i also had a home made caramel apple from megan (not the same one from the hike) and it was delicious. oh yes and kim also showed me her facebook, even though i prefer myspace (and i think she was jealous), but she had very interesting pics of the night before at this place called "beaners" i like that name.

the next day i woke up around seven and we had breakfast and headed over to tower. my first class was in the science building which was pretty new and i was in an 8:00 class called Human Biology and Heridity. oddly enough i somewhat knew someone in this class, he just looked familiar. turns out he was like my cousins best friend. it was interesting that no one even said anything when i was just sitting in on the class JUST sitting, not taking notes or getting a test back, but that was cool. then i went over to tower for the rest of the day (sciences aren't my thing) i went to behavior management, and actually had a clue as to what was going on. then i ran into danielle marot, who recognized me from BHS, and who was also in my next class: first year comp. that was interesting. they were actually learning about grammer and i had to do this worksheet about where to use the comma, colon and or start a new sentence. groundbreaking really...the next class was my challenge: intermediate spanish. it was acutally taught by a guy! most of the people didn't speak that fluently and we did this worksheet on accents, and then did a dialogue in front of the class about a situation in the doctors office. then i had my last class: mythology....ewwwww i almost fell asleep like three times. glad that was finally over.

overall i think it was more important to see the college experience in general to give me a little insight. who knows at this point though, all i know is i should really start making some money to help, because i know it scares the hell out of my parents thinking about what it's going to cost. it was a good experience, but it will be one of very many this year, and i know this for sure. i really prefer to live in the here and now, and when you compare things in the past to know you probably wouldn't believe how things have changed, although some things don't and that's okay with me too. carpe diem my friends, don't mess around you only have this one oppertunity.

just out of curiosity,

what are field/career are you looking at?

(i know that i don't like math or science and that narrows it down a lot)Psychology or english fields.

interesting thing: when i took the myers-briggs personality test this summer (im and INFJ) the first listed career was psychologist. muy raro!
