you would think that the sociology department thought that there was only one class room on ball state's campus. i am certain that 90% of my sociology classes over the past few years have all been in north quadrangle, room 208. i don't even look to see where my classes are anymore... i just assume that if the class title starts with "soc" then it is in that room.
what i love even more about this room is that, every one always sits in the same place. i have gotten to the point that i am recognizing at least half of the people in my classes. sarah fields always sits in the far corner or the front row, jason leist is usually late, but finds a way to the very middle of the class room. kenny sits in the back corner, adam minich sits a few rows in from the door near the back, as do i, the socially awkward kid named matthew sits in the front row near the door... i could continue... but it is becoming monotonous.
i think the new freshman are amazing. a girl stopped me in the hallway and asked, "what building am i in?" i wanted to hug her. i am certain that i looked the same way when i was a freshman. that look of pure and utter fear, feeling completely overwhelmed by surrounding, not to mention the amount of people that are passing by.... nope. never mind. i still appear that way...
kevin is back in school. he took a year off, and i'm sure that a lot of people didn't believe him when he said things like, "i'm going back in the fall." but, rest assured, he is back in school as we speak. i am very proud of him.
my landlord fixed my house. i have no idea what is going to happen to the wall, but it has not gotten worse... in fact... i think that the water stain is disappearing. tomorrow a guy is coming to fix the air conditioner and my landlord is going to clean the basement floor, and then we will be golden.
i am forty-five minutes away from starting my first job. i wasn't supposed to start until tomorrow, but some one needed a shift covered, and i picked it up. i'll be at the computer lab until one in the morning, but i've got a book and an entire room full of computers to keep me occupied.
katie has senioritis. i kind of forgot that that happens to you in college, too. i am glad that i am still enjoying college, though... i do believe that i was ready to graduate from high school when i was a sophomore, so i think i am doing much better. in class today, all of my professors asked those stupid questions like, "what do you plan on doing with your major?" my future career plans are kind of dull, so it isn't even fun to talk about with people. i mean... don't get me wrong. i'm going to love my job, but no one else really cares about human resources, so its much more interesting to just be in college.
i aspire to go star gazing at some point this week. i'm keeping my eyes peeled for a clear night. if any one reading this wants to go, talk to me. i need star gazing buddies.
