I've finally done it!
After months of reading other peoples weblogs and being goaded by some friends, I have decided to create my own online account. I have joined the ranks of my fellow bloggers in order to retell the lame and pathetic details of my life. At least this way I can sort of keep up with people and let you all know what I'm really going through this semester. Besides, I have to share some of the slightly amusing things I see/hear around campus.
Let me first start off with a brief overview of my Winter Break. I had a great, relaxing time and spent a lot of time at home with family and friends. I played several board games from Clue to Trivial Pursuit to Movie Trivia and saw four films in the theaters: Return of the King, Peter Pan, Mona Lisa Smile, and Big Fish, in that order. I went to the beach in Cambria for a couple days (after the earthquake) with family and some friends and had a wonderful time, only to return home just in time for a New Year's Party at my house. I saw a lot of great football games over break, "Fight On!", and this past week went skiing with Robert's family and some other friends up at Mammoth. So all in all an excellent break from school filled with lots of activity to counter-balance the inactivity. And one couldn't forget the crochetting frenzy that occurred over the second half of the break!
Now it's back to school and the daily regime of classes and professor's expectations. If I were to rate my semester by my first impressions of all my classes, I'd say that it's going to be a terribly busy semester, but also a fun semester with good teachers. I figure once per semester I'm granted one class that I end up not liking primarily because of the teacher and the way they manage the class. So far I have yet to discover which class that is this semester, and with any luck, that won't happen. I will be spending several hours in the computer lab, as it seems; however, to make up for that I will get to play with Legos in one class. Once again the universe balances out.
We'll both have to wait and see about my upcoming life this semester.
