Oh wow. I haven't updated this in... FOREVER!
I could have swarn I had updated since I got to school! But I guess not =( I'll have to post pictures of my apartment later... cause I'm not home right now to take them. But soon!
The drive with dad went really well! I think we only had a few tiffs the whole time, which is really good! The drive went really smoothly: no major car issues, or getting lost. We averaged about 10 hours a day and got there in three days.
We left thursday morning driving a decent day to Omaha, Nebraska. We stayed the night with my Aunt Sally and Uncle Gary in their lovely home. =) I've always really liked it there, so it was a nice stop along the way. Sort of transitioning out of being at home and into being away. It was a nice stay, we went and got Chinese food with Gary and Sally and my cousin Elizabeth, got a good nights sleep and left the next day at a decent time. We headed through Iowa, through Chicago and into Indiana. We ended up staing in a hotel JUST inside Michigan (literally about 20 feet into the state) because of Notre Dame being in South Bend it was hard to find a place to stay. The next day we went back into Indiana, Ohio, PA and into New York! We got in on Saturday afternoon and stayed in a town just outside Buffalo. Dad and I spent the night relaxing and just wondering around the town (Which was 100% under construcion on all the roads and sidewalks... which actually made this pretty diffictult) Come sunday we spent our morning in Niagra Falls, dad and I brought out Passports so we got to see it from both sides. =) it was really beautiful, SOOOOOO much water! That afternoon we drove into Rochester and checked dad into his hotel. We hung out for a while, and then I was actually able to move some of my stuff into my apartment early because one of my roommates was being an Orientation Advisor and got to move in early. (Shhhhh! Don't tell!) I don't think I really broke any rules though, i wasn't like OFFICIALLY moved in or anything. haha. Dad left tuesday and we spent all the time in between moving and getting organized. It took us FOREVER to get our apartment organized, but it's finally pretty much done! HOORAY!
So far classes have been good, I'm taking a pretty light load this quarter because I got out of taking 2D design with my AP photography credit from high school. Everyone else is taking 2D this quarter and next... but I couldn't find anything else I wanted to fit into my schedule so I'm just taking one less class. =( I felt sorta bad about it... but I truly COULD NOT find another class to fit into my schedule. It was quite the bummer. However I've got a new job! And hopefuly I'll be able to pick up one more shift eventually... I'm working at a place called the RITZ on campus. I have a bunch of friends who work there (Lorin, my roommate -and a future student manager there- Frank -Lorin's bf-, Ben, Jake... etc.) It's another food service job, but it's a lot better than Gracie's. And I don't have to close!! =D I didn't hate Gracie's, but it's nice to be somewhere new.
My schedule is sorta terrible, just timing wise. I have the EXACT opposite schedule of EVERYONE. Both Ben and my roommates. So most of the time I'm IN my apartment, I'm alone. It sucks. I have a decent schedule Monday: 12-2 anthropology, 2-4 photo. ... and then it gets bad.
Tuesday: 10:30-1:20 work, 6-11pm photo lab. <--- Yeah. That's FIVE hours. At night.
Wednesday: 12-2 anthropology, 4:30-close work, 8-10 History and Aesthetic of Photography.
Thursday: 10:30-1:30 work, 7-10 photo crit.
Friday: 9-10 Career Seminar, 10-12 History and Aesthetic of photography.
I LOVE my photo class because there are some great people in there and the professor is AMAZING. I just wish that I could actually SEE my roommates from time to time. And Ben quite literally has a break EVERY time I have class, and I have class EVERY time he has a break. It is the megga suck. If you will.
Other than that I've just been workin' on classes and trying to get stuff done.
I got fish yesterday! I'm so excited. They're awesome.
I'll post pictures of them later!
This post has been long enough! Seeya!
(and I didn't proof read this one... so sorry if it's weird. Too tired to deal witht that right now.)
