Back Home
So I'm back at Chapman. I got in Sunday night at 10 pm Pacific time and was just glad to finally make it here. Sunday morning started good with the beeeeeeautiful Colorado mountains which I fell instantly in love with and Utah had some amazing ones as well. But I got sick of driving on them and driving in general so it just got bad after that with the exception of Las Vegas which I drove around in for 10 minutes and was taken by all the crazy grandiose stuff they have there. But yeah, first I almost run out of gas because I wasn't paying attention and then in California it got really congested and full of idiot cars swerving in and out and I just wanted to get home and it sucked a lot. It's a wonder how much Bale Out will describe your mood. But I was focused on getting back to Chapman that night and made it home and it was so beautiful seeing everything again for the first time driving. We Are The Champions was my mood music then.
Of course, then my ID card didn't work to get me into my room so I had to go through an hour process of trying to get it to work and then having to prop my door open to bring my essential stuff in. Not a good day. Thankfully yesterday was much better. I woke up and met the person who I'm sharing a bathroom with who is really cool, likes Dexter and we get along pretty well so it's nice to finally have a roommate whose a bit more like me. Definitely think I might have a fun so happy about that. I also got in off the waitlist of a class I reeeally wanted to take, Foundation Course in Design and was SO excited at the first project which is the collage type thing that I have a ton of ideas for. Good to be excited about a class and get a feeling that it fits me perfectly. Got my ID fixed and then had lunch in the new dining hall which is amaaaazing. It's huge with pretty lights and giant art murals and cute booths and I love it a lot. The new building where I live is generally awesome and I can't wait to try the rock climbing wall.
My other two classes were okay, History of Political Philosophy is where I'm excited about the content and there's not a ton of work and I like my Dancing in World Cultures professor a lot (funny and cool is a good combination) so at least some of the writing for that will be worth it. Then I was going to a floor dining together dinner thing but we took too many people on the elevator and got stuck on the second floor for 30 minutes. Not fun in a lot of heat, I can tell you that. Then I had my Introduction to Graphic Design class which was...intense. Really scared for it as it's all, this is the real world, everything has to be professional, lots of assignments, etc etc. I just really want to do well more than any class I've ever taken so it's a lot of pressure. Thankfully I could go back to my single room and get some alone time and enjoy some Adam who makes everything better.
Way behind on my Flist and still have to get stuff from storage and apply for jobs and a bunch of other housekeeping things but thankfully I only have one class today so I have lots of time. I'm a bit overwhelmed though, there's so much to do and so much to learn and I don't know how I'm going to do it all. It is really nice to be back in California, it makes me happy and I have a wonderful view from my floor where you can see the city.
