1st Week = COMPLETE!

My first week of college has been quite interesting. It has been filled with lots of homework and walking. Here’s a synopsis of what went on:

Monday:

• ·      I realized that 10 minutes between my classes might not be enough, especially once it gets cold and icy…
• ·      I spent about eight hours on campus, seven of which were in classes, and three of which were spent standing because the people at SLU weren’t nice enough to give the Chem Lab rooms stools/chairs. (Personally, I think I am paying enough in tuition to deserve a chair.)
• ·      I decided that I don’t particularly like my Chem Lecture of roughly 300 people.
• ·     After I got home, I cooked dinner, went to church, and then crashed.

Tuesday:

• ·      I got a nice break from my one day of class and worked all day.
• ·      Oh, and my legs hurt from all the walking I did on Monday. (My body was so not ready for that…)

Wednesday:

• ·      I spent four hours in class.
• ·      I walked around the SLU Fair for like 5 minutes, decided there were too many people, and then left.
• ·      I went to the Galleria and chilled for a while (3 hours).
• ·      While at the Galleria I attended a One-to-One session at the Apple Store to try to figure out why my PDF files wouldn’t open. Conclusion: Apparently Adobe hasn’t updated their software for Lion. At least that’s what the guy told me. Oh, and by the way, it now works…
• ·      I went back to campus and got lunch at Chick-fil-a. (This is not your normal Chick-fil-a either, it’s an express, which basically means the food is already prepared and sitting under heat lamps… ewww)
• ·      I attended a Sexual Assault Seminar, which basically told me to expect respect. I already knew that. Thanks for wasting my time that I could have been working…
• ·      Then I headed to church even though I was really tired and had lots of homework. I was not going to let satan keep me from church!

Thursday:

• ·      I attended my two classes for the day. My Bio Lab got out two and a half hours early, so I caught up on some reading.
• ·      I unintentionally attended a Mass… (There will be a blog about that one later…)
• ·      I went to work for two hours
• ·      I came home and made dinner.
• ·      I did my homework and then crashed.

Friday:

• ·      I attended my four hours of class
• ·      I went to work.
• ·      I went home and then left to watch Soul Surfer with some awesome people!
• ·      And now I am writing this blog about to crash.

There are also a few things I learned during my commute:

• ·      If I leave my house at 6:30, I avoid most of the traffic on 170 & 64.
• ·      Other drivers really don’t like it when you drive the speed limit, especially in the left hand lane…
• ·      Even if you drive above the speed limit, people will still pass you.
• ·      Even though the bridge at the Grand Exit is gone, I still check to make sure there are no cars coming. Who knows, there could be a Back to the Future moment or something…

I want to say thank you to all of my Family and Friends who have been praying for me this week, and to Air 1 and Joy FM for keeping me sane during my commute! Muchas Gracias!
