Forever Freshman Universe

No matter who you are, where you go, or what you do you'll always have a little bit of freshman in you.

First Week (and a half)

The first week of college has passed! Definitely have to remember for next year to do as much as I can over the summer. The first weekend is really just a mad rush to get things done. It's pretty ridiculous.

And definitely also have to do the readings. I was so lost in Calculus I on the first two days because I wasn't reading the book and the teacher expects us to.

In addition, I also missed the first class on the second day of school. Totally just sleep through my alarm and missed it. It was a pretty terrible day.

But for the most part, college is fun. All the girls on the floor are awesome, no major drama (but stayed tuned).

Friend Update: Have a bunch of them and we all love each other. We're literally the people that others look at and just go "how the hell are you people friends?!".

Room Update: Still a disorganized mess. Move in day was a lie. I brought more clothes with me coming back from Labor Day weekend than I brought with me originally.

First Day of Class (and work)

Okay, I only had two classes today, neither of which were too bad. The first one was STEM Success. It's pretty much for people in the STEM learning community (living or not) and it's like a first year seminar. (I don't know if I said or not but I'm a Chemistry major!) We had to an ice breaker though... so it wasn't exactly painless. The second class that I had was General Chemistry Lab I Recitation. We went over the syllabus (and I was in the back crying about lab reports).

I also had my first day of work as a DEV Math Proctor. And there wasn't really much to do. And I literally stood on my feet for four hours. I kid you not. My feet hurt so much. No more flip-flops for this girl.

But yeah, not much happened today, pretty uneventful.

Cells and Genes, Gen. Chem., and Calculus are tomorrow though...

Friend Update: These three guys from the 1st floor came up to our floor today. (It was a little creepy at first cause they were just walking around.) They were really nice and kind of attractive. Most of the girls on the floor were watching Easy A and we asked them to join us. It was very much fun.

Doctor Who - Deep Breath

Getting thrown up by a dinosaur? 12th Doctor knows how to make an entrance.

I like this more adult Doctor. You can definitely still see the elements of the old Doctors. But he’s more new. I like the memory loss he’s going through. Eleven kind of just jumping into life, only remembering the people from the past when things were bad. I feel like Twelve is remembering everything all at once. That The Doctor is finally coming to terms with everything he’s done.

I hate the Rose moment that Moffat is giving Clara. She’s The Doctor’s Impossible Girl. Clara has met past Doctors. She knows that he changes. The whole “he’s The Doctor but not The Doctor” thing was Rose’s in Season 2. It doesn’t belong to Clara.

Madam Vastra and Jenny are one of my favorite parts of this. I love how protective she is over The Doctor. And the part about her veil was beautifully done.

I’m thinking that perhaps this might be a season where we see more from the rest of the universe and less from the humans. Twelve doesn’t seem as tolerant(?) of the human race. Maybe The Doctor grows less forgiving the more he sees of us.

Clara the Governess is back!

Twelve definitely has a darker side. Hopefully he’s just having some regeneration pains? He seems a bit terrifying at times.

I like the qualities that stay the same with him. It’s familiar without being the same.

Twelve is so adorable. Worrying that Clara doesn’t like him because he’s different. It’s a nice change of pace to see him a bit worried about that.

I am curious though as to how those robots know Clara and Twelve so well. And the restaurant scene was flawless. Perfect show of poor human perception. We look without really seeing.

I can’t believe that Twelve left her! Yeah it’s probably all part of some plan, but still! Maybe he’s testing her? Trying to see if she still believes in him even though he has a new face?

And love the Clara flashback. We never really saw much about her when she wasn’t with Eleven.

Twelve’s right. Clara is brilliant on adrenaline. It was such a gorgeous back and forth between Clara and the robot.

That final robot seen was breathtaking. Bravo on that, Moffat.

He promised that he wouldn't leave her though. He can't lie again.

Oh my god! It's Clara!!!

That ending though!!!

Meal Plans

So even though move-in day was on a Thursday, and there are a whopping total of three days left in the week, we were given our meal plan for the normal amount.

Meaning?

Today not only are people eating their meals at normal times, but they (read: freshmen) are also (attempting) to use up the rest of their meal swipes. (This, by the way, is fiscally responsible and wasteful at the same time.)

In my case, I haven't eaten on campus yet, so I have had 10 meal swipes (valued at $65). Post shopping I am left with a whopping total of 3 (?) meal swipes ($19.50) left. These swipes will probably go unused and therefore be forfeited back to the university. Oh well.

A list of what I purchased:

Gatorade

Milk

Ice cream

Propel

Chips (Lays and Stacys)

Apple juice

Starbucks coffee

Move-In Day and the First Two Days on Campus

Moving into a dorm was definitely a weird experience. You start with a just a bed, desk, wardrobe, and dresser and then all of a sudden you have a million boxes and bins to go through.

I was lucky though; I got everything moved in before the rain started. (It lasted till the end of move-in and I felt bad for everyone who moved in during the rain.)

A little less than 18 hours after move-in day, I have (mostly) everything put away. However, I did forget a bunch of things at home (my electric kettle and tea, razor, shampoo(!!!), alarm clock, etc.).

Wright State has a bunch of things planned for Welcome Week but they seem kind of on top of each other. And once you've moved into your dorm already, there isn't always a ton of stuff to do. I mean, you can only walk your class schedule so many times, right?

One of my best friends, Jess, moved into her school (University of Dayton) the day after me. She got rained on for a bit :(

I was super worried about not making any friends because I kind of shy. But the two girls who dorm next to me, Sara and Lexii, are super nice and we hang out.

I can't wait for classes to start though, so I can meet new people. The lack of things to do is making me a little stir crazy (and it's only been one day!).
