Hey this is real college, now.

Hellllo there friends,
Yesterday I had my first real classes! I had French, and western heritage with prof Hilliker, who is also my mentor. French was a leeeetle bit crazy because I can't really remember a lot of le francais from high school. I think it will start coming back to me after a while.....? Hopefully.  I ALSO had geological oceanography! I was only there for fifteen minutes or so, because we only went over the syllabus for the lecture and lab. But the professor seems very nce. Some of our lab days will be used to go out on boats, and my neighbor, who had him for autumn term, said that it's really fun because you can go swimming and such off of the boat. Then today I had my math class. I feel nervous for math! I haven't taken any math in over a year, but luckily I have a math teacher for a sister. Tomorrow I will have my western heritage honors lecture, which I bought the books for today, and one is written by the professor of the class. Professor Felice's book is called "How Do I Save My Honor? War, Moral Integrity, and Principled Resignation." So YEAH.

The weekend was super! I did a lot of running around, playing frisbee and shooting hoooops, as they say. I went to two soccer games on Friday, and then on Saturday, I went to Adventure Island, a water-park across the street from Busch Gardens. It was SO FUN. I was so tired from being gone 12-6 but then I went to, 1. play frisbee, and 2. "intergalactic" bowling which was just bowling with really loud music and some blacklights. It was very fun, but I didn't even get back unil 2:00 a.m. Sunday was pretty relax, I just chilled and such and went to chapel.
Here is a pictura of me on the way home from Adventure Island with my friend Chris:

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING AWFUL?
I think it was....Friday night. My RA was dj-ing a party on campus, and I got locked out of my room. I got locked out with only a towel and it was awful. So I had to use my neighbor Laura's phone to call campus security to come unlock my door. It was terrible! But very very very funny, I couldn't stop laughing when it happened!!!! Luckily when Laura left, she ran into Synthia who promptly ran all the way from Alpha to unlock our door.  Thank goooooodness.

Laura just walked in and for the sake of propriety says that I should describe in this here blog:
She is from the VINEYARD, Mass.
She is tiny.
She is a gamester. We are frisbee pals.
She loves the spicy hot cheetos, which she has stored under my bed in an attempt to eat them less.
So far not working.
She un peu crazy.

:Here is a slightly-blurry picture of me and Laura at a soccer game two weeks ago, and another of us  playing a crazy soccer-goalie reflexes game with a water-bottle cap:

Last night
UHM SO YEAH.

Monday I FINALLY was able to get my package that came on Saturday, from home!!!  It was SUCH an awesome package. It had a wonderful blanket, some nutellla (drooool), Bert's Bees w/ honey, SIX bars of delicious dark chocolate!!! I ate the last of a big bar of dark choco last night while I was watching a lightning storm off the sea wall behind my dorm. It was very cool.  ALSO Monday I got to talk to Laur on the phone which was awesome and I really really missssss herrr so much I just wanted to jump through the phone and give her a big hug because I miss her so much!

I finally got a web cam so if any of you want to video chat just let me know! That means YOU, mom! You, yes you mom!

Now....I am going to take a nap because I am all done with classes for today (it's only1:00!) and I have mostof my work done for tomorrow! And I will use the new blanket that the world's-best-mom sent me.
WOOOO.
Okay
Peace out homies.

Syd.
