Well, I'm now about one month into school. Thinks are going pretty alright so far. At the beginning of the semester, I did end up changing half my classes. Now I'm basically taking some GE classes, a couple music classes, and a couple art classes. One of them is a beginning piano class, which is so fun! I've never had piano lessons of any kind before, so I'm really excited to learn a little. And right now, since it's for people with no piano or musical experience, it's really easy. We haven't even done scales or anything yet, actually. But it's great. Probably my favorite class of the semester.
My New Testament class I'm taking with both Trevin and Kalisha, which is also awesome! I get to see them at least twice a week, this way. We all sit together during class. Not to mention, I really enjoy my teacher. I'm taking biology, which is actually really interesting. For some strange reason, the particular class section that I'm enrolled in is focused just on birds. So while all the other Bio 100 classes are learning the stuff we all learned in ninth grade, I get to learn all about birds. Plus, there have been optional "field trips", where a small group from the class would go with the teacher at 7:00am on a specified day to go birdwatching, for about two and a half hours. I went once, and though I wasn't a fan of getting up at 6:00am, it was fun.
The other classes I'm taking are Computer Graphics (fun), Music Fundamentals (really easy), LDS Marriage and Family (really enjoy this one), Intro to Art and Drawing (fun, for the most part), and Marching Band. Most of my classes are fun or interesting to one extent or another. I have a pretty decent semester. Although, since my art classes are both one night a week for three and four hours, between that and work I have no evenings except for Friday and Sunday. But hey, it's all good.
I've also been watching Red vs Blue a lot lately, which I love. It has a bit of swearing, but it's so funny. I also work at the Cannon Dining Center again, as a custodian, which is fun. Since my school schedule is so odd, I can't work the normal shifts, which are either Monday/Wednesday/Friday nights or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday night. So I work on Monday/Tuesday/Saturday night, with both the custodial crews. I enjoy working with all of them, though.
Other than school, work, band, and the random things I do to waste my time during the day, I'm not up to anything else new. There have been plenty of confusing things going on lately, but things are pretty okay right now. I absolutely can't wait to come back home over Christmas break, but in the meantime I'm enjoying myself up here at school.
