Shower Stalking

So one would think that showering is a perfectly normal persuit, and until today I would have honestly agreed with that in an instant. Boy did I learn my lesson! Today I went to shower when my entire floor was supposedly at a "meet the religious leader" thing that involved sloppy joes (EW!), and so I decided to let myself sing in the shower. Wow. I can say that I will be certain to check before I just burst out into song.

It just happens that people apparently heard me singing and stood outside the bathroom door to listen. Awkward? Certainly, but it didn't stop there! People actually came into the bathroom (thank heavens for the fact our showers are in stalls) and introduced themselves to me and/or complimenting me. The scary part? They all knew my name. Yeah, that's nothing short of creepy.

Suffice it to say those were the most awkward compliments and introductions I think I've ever gotten.

GASP! It's a blog!

Right, so the fact that I am even attempting to do a blog is quite miraculous in and of itself. But hey, I figured this would be a good way to try and keep everyone up to date on what all is going on in my life. Since I am away at college it seems to be really hard to keep in contact with all of the people I love, and so at least there will be some information exchanging hands? ...Heh.

So I bet many of you are going "Alright, stop rambling. You do that way too much. What is going on in your life?"

I have officially been away at college for a whole week and two days now, and I must say that being two hundred some-odd miles from home is not easy. Luckily, though, I happen to live on the most amazing floor at the college. The girls here on C3 are so wickedly cool and they always make sure I get to lunch and dinner (we like to flock to the cafeteria and oogle the hott guys, not to mention provide random entertainment). It honestly seems like I've never been this busy before in my life, and I know that it's because I am constantly either at class or joking around with my friends. College is so amazing! Surviving high school is now worth it because of higher learning, and I'm excited for the coming challenges.

It does help, of course, that so far my professors are absolutely amazing. Amazing, I tell you. The work is harder than high school, sure, but I am finding that I prefer the level things are at here. Christine challenges us in script analysis and tries to open our minds to the wide world contained in a single script; Jeb always gets us laughing and gets us to think in ways I didn't think was possible; Andrew is very passionate about art and honestly gets everyone excited; and, last but not least, Earl has made costuming fun and all about coming to love the art. Well, and there is also Brother Christensen, and he makes it worth getting up a little early to go to Institute. All in all I am really happy with my school.

Here's hoping things continue to go well!
