My first week of college in a nutshell: there's never a dull moment. Between auditions, figuring out schedules, and making friends, I hardly have time to do homework, which is terrible, but that just the first week craze--and thankfully, there's not a lot of homework.
My roommates are amazing. It was all very awkward the first day, we hardly talked. But little by little, we all became one big happy family. There's Emily, the crazy social butterfly, Jessica, the quiet one that always makes sure we're not lonely in the dorm, and they both love making fun of me. We have a good time when we're all together. There's a lot of midnight jokes that make you want to lock Emily out of the room, but it adds flavor. After a week of being together, it's like living with family. The floormates are pretty nice as well. In our corner of the dorm, we're having a movie night so our brains can come down from studying for the Biology test or reading the Paideia book. There's a whole lot of unity in the dorms, no doubt. Everyone is so nice and will let you borrow their textbooks because you ordered all the wrong editions off of amazon. com [On the upside, I now have my biology book].
This week, I had a very hard time with my schedule. I had tried out for choir and the slot I had open was for Aurora. Imagine my surprise when I made Cantorei and was suddenly slapped with a conflict. It was the same time as my Paideia. After a few hours of panicking [which really DOES NOT help, let me tell you], I emailed my advisor and set up a meeting. It took a lot of legwork to get everything organized and a lot of convincing to switch my Paideia, not to mention the sacrifices of my late classes on Tuesday and Thursday, but I managed to work it all out. I got my cake and ate it too, so to speak.
This week wore me out. It's been so busy and different that my mind is ready to take a nice twelve hour nap. I'm definitely hoping that next week will give me a chance to start a routine so that I can relax and take the time to use my amazing highlighters on my biology book [I am strangely excited about that]. So, we'll have to see how the next weeks pans out. ^^

Hey peoples this is The Quiet One. If you actually read Marcie's blog like you were supposed to, you'll know that that means I'm her roommate Jessica. By the way she's right- I (um if mean "we") are AMAZING. And yes Marcie, your highlighters are awesome.
