It is very lovely.

So....my first week of classes was successful. It didn't make me freak out. I think my math professor is certifiably off his rocker.  He is so funny and his class is pretty interesting.  He lectures to music and gives us handouts of the playlist. This Thursday's included Tu Pac, U2, and some other funny stuff. I also had my first honors colloquium meeting which was just fiiiine. I have mountains of reading to do!!!

Yesterday I went out to ride my bike and it was annoying because the only way I can get to the beach is to ride on 54th street, which is REALLY busy. And I do not like busy roads, at all! There are no sidewalks towards the beach and so this is a conundrum, if you ask me.  So I turned around and just rode around in a little neighborhood off of 34th street for a while. It was okay, but I had a constant feeling of not really knowing where I was going, which made me a little nervy knickers. It just could not compare to muck farm road, though, if you ask me. All these speed humps you have to go over are so annoying.

(That was last week, this is this week, the week of September sixth)
(I got distracted.)
So my Monday-Wednesay  classes this week have beeen crazy indeed. I read "The Epic Of Gilgamesh," just alright for me, three chapters of "How do I save my Honor?" and four books in the Odyssey. The Odyssey I must say has proven delicious thus far. Here is a good quote from The Odyssey in book 9:

"and I, myself, know no sweeter sight on earth
than a man's own native country."

And here's another, from book 2:

"Few sons are the equals of their fathers;
most fall short, all too few surpass them."

Laura, Synthia and I have been reading this epic out loud, and it makes it SO much better. Except it's mostly just me and Laura because Synthia is always going to dance practices and such. Lately I have been spending a lot of time out by the sea wall behind my dorm.  It is very peaceful and out there watching the ships on the water makes it really difficult to feel stressed or any kind of negative emotion. It's really peaceful especially near the end of the day, when the sun is going down a little and the sky is starting to turn to colors. It is very pretty. I'll try to take a photograph that does it justice.

I'm pretty excited for this weekend, too. I'm going to see a movie, that has great reviews on rottentomatos.com called "Tokyo Sonata" with Synthia, and Saturday I am hopefully going to Habitat for Humanity with some friends and maybe going on a wakeboarding trip. Tomorrow Laura and I are going to make an emergency snacks trip to Walmart, because I can't handle only having :
1. Cereal and milk
2. Dark choco bars (mmmmmmmMmmMMMMmm......)
3. Triscuts
4. Apples that I never eat because I hate eating apples.
Seriously. When I get the munchies I have no idea what to do.
It's depressing.  So I will get some pita chips and hummus, and maybe some bananas. And some other stuff but I like to snack healthy so we'll see what happens.
SO YEAH. My life in a nutshell right about now I guess?
Now I must go to sleep. I have a ten o'clock math class tomorrow. Yuck! Night.
