It begins...

I can successfully report that I made it through my first (short) week of grad school - in which all I took were undergrad Intro classes... hmm...

Grad school is going to be a TON of fun, I can already tell. I'm geeked out about the subject material in my classes and my professors are cool. Simmons is very dedicated to making the campus a nutritionally, mentally, and emotionally healthy and safe place. And I think this is awesome! :)

One small thing that I need to learn to deal with again: freshman girls. Simmons is an all-girl school for undergrads, so the freshmen are ALL female. Which is cool in some cases. And soooooo terribly annoying in most cases. I don't necessarily want to kill all of them yet, just some of them... [I kid...sorta. I mean, I'm totally kidding!] I think this is me realizing just how much older I am and thus coming to understand that I left that stage of my life a long time ago. I'm about 10-11 years older than them - gack! They're little 18-year-olds and they chatter incessantly and they draw mustaches on their fingers with Sharpie so they can hold mustaches to their faces and talk in horrible fake French accents and tell people they have cancer with said accents and finger mustaches. (You think I'm kidding, but who can make this stuff up? That last one about the finger mustaches happened at lunch yesterday when I got "befriended" by two freshmen who thought I "looked lonely and could use some new friends, omg!" I was surrounded. It was scary.)

But, aside from that...

School went very well this week. Got all of my books (save one that hasn't come in the mail yet, grar!). Done some preliminary reading already. I already have Chemistry homework (and we didn't even have a real lecture today, what?) - that I'm excited about because I'm a big geek. Woot! I'm a student again! Time to have some fun!
