Today was the first day of classes in Ann Arbor, and I am feeling good. Although my friend (and wonderful blogger, might I add) Vanessa pointed out that this year's ever-exciting "first day" is actually somewhat bittersweet now that we feel like we're at the top of the university totem pole,
Reasons why today was a great last first day:
One. I got off a waitlist! I'm really excited about this class. It's got a fantastic reading list, and we even watch some classic coming-of-age films (i.e. Rebel Without a Cause). Woohoo! In addition to being nerdier than the average college student (see above), I realize that I am also slightly more on edge than the vast, but waitlists seriously give me mayjah anxiety. And I am currently still on two. But this day was just so great, I have convinced myself that it will all work out.
Two. No discussion sections before the lecture first met. This meant that I only had two classes today instead of the three I will usually have on Tuesdays. Perfectly good chance to work on my resume, sort out my credit transfers from my semester abroad, or any of the other 9871291 things I've got on my to-do list, but instead, I spent that time doing absolutely nothing, just hanging out. Mmmm.
Three. Max is coming to visit! After hours and hours of frustration and trying to figure out flight options that fit into our time frames and both of our budgets, we finally found a flight that works, and he'll be here next weekend. Something to look forward to! Aside from reading The Others for my aforementioned English class. But that just goes without saying.
I don't really want to make this blog all about random thoughts I've got going on in my head, none of that "current mood" bullshit, but I just felt like sharing the love. I promise you - if there even is a "you" at this point in my blogging hobby/passion/career - that this sentiment will absolutely not last, but let's enjoy these last few happy-go-lucky glimmers of pre-schoolwork sanity for the moment. Shall we?

ReplyDeleteI love how focused your blog is (something I definitely wish I could fix on mine, but a year and half in it's a bit late for that, right?) but I enjoy these types of posts as well--I hope you keep up with both!
