When looking back on my college experience so far, I simply cannot believe I have been living on my own for nine weeks. In terms of never living away from home, that is a long time for me. I have finally gotten past the homesick stage, and I am fully embracing college and the freedom that comes with living on my own.
I have said it before, and I will say it again- I absolutely love my roommates! I do not think it possible for anyone to have as much fun as we do in our little apartment. This week Krista, Megan, and I asked boys from our building to go on a group date to...wait for it...The Little Bear Bottoms Cornmaze...yeah Little Bear Bottoms. I think the name is pretty hilarious. After the first boy I asked had to cancel the day before, I got a finalized date with a boy across the hall. But no worries, the first boy is taking me out to dinner next week, so no hard feelings. The cornmaze itself was a bit lame, but it was fun to make a new friend. We ended the evening by getting some gas station hot cocoa, and going back to our building and watching Avatar, the blue person one, not the Air Bender one. Now the first time I watched Avatar, I was not particularly a big fan, which to many people was blasphemy, but this second time round I really enjoyed it. Maybe that anthropology class is helping me accept things more easily haha.
Now if you want to hear about an awesome cornmaze, I will tell you about the cornmaze I went to on a date last week on a date with my good friend Karl. I went with Karl on a groupdate with my other two good friends, Beth and Grant. This cornmaze was haunted, which in my opinion, made it all the more spectacular. There was supposedly "corn cash" hidden in the stalks, but honestly I am quite certain it was a lie. Karl and I searched and searched for some "corn cash", even making up a song about it, but never did we sight the so called "corn cash." We discovered that the spookers wouldn't scare you quite as badly if you complimented their performance, and we even got a couple pointers on how to get our way out of the maze. All in all, it was a great night!
On the school side of things, everything is going great! I can say that I truly enjoy my classes, even Geography, and my Creative Arts class where I am practically tested on the professor's life story. No joke, a question on the last test asked me what the name of his fourth grade teacher was. My absolute favorite class is Study of American Culture, which is the study of America through the perspective of the home. I love it! We get to analyze literature, study art pieces, etc. So basically I am in an English and Art lovers heaven. The class is actually only made up of about twenty people, so it is very much discussion based, which I love. My 12th grade AP English teacher, and Art History teacher would be so proud of me and the comments I make in class. The taught me well haha.
But of course one can only get to much of a thing. I have not been home in three weeks, and I can honestly say that Fall Break is truly a heaven send. I sit here in the library, with one class left to go. Although I am supposed to have classes tomorrow, my professor's have graciously cancelled class tomorrow. Tonight I am going home after watching the Jazz Singer for my Creative Arts course! Even better, I am surprising my parents, because they think I am coming home tomorrow. Soon this crazy state of mind I have been in due to midterms will be ended, and I can finally go back to my dear old K-Town. Where I will joyously watch Boy Meets World with my Gavbo! Hooray!
