Bleu

When I walk into the book store with a blue sweatshirt on, blue nails and and buy a blue binder, do they really need to ask what my favourite colour is?
Just walk into my room and you'll understand the emotional attachment that I have to the colour blue. My dorm room does not in any way resemble the "it's so blue I feel like I'm underwater" feeling that is clearly evident upon entering my room at home. However, it is still clear that I don't just tolerate blue. I love blue.
Blue striped bed sheets, blue towels, blue cup, blue lanyard, blue hat, blue innered of coat, blue pencil case and awkwardly out of place, purple laptop.
If you judge me by my sense of colour then shame on you. My best friend loves pink! Do I judge her? Well, I don't let her hear me.
The main point I'd like to settle into your minds is: embrace that colour that makes you feel like a million bucks that just dropped you into a tub of books made of chocolate.
Remember, only the strong ones make it out alive. If you don't embrace life, how can I believe that you will embrace that which puts a smile on your face for just sitting there beside you. The colour is everything.

Cable Television

If there is one thing in college that will be the time consumer of all time consumers it's Cable Television. Not growing up with all these wonderful channels will be the downfall in my trying to be successful career as a student.

People claim that going to college is a difficult adjustment for many reasons:

1. The freshman 15

2. The work load

3. The tight budget

 

First of all, I think I'll lose weight rather than gain it this year. I have been eating healthily, getting my daily walk across the lot from rez to the main building and forcing myself to climb the four flights of stairs to my room rather than take the unreliable elevator.

Secondly, I listen in class and almost get carpal tunnel writing my notes so fast. I also get major headaches trying to concentrate on and remember all the information being constantly added to my brain. The problem isn't understanding the information, it's remembering it. I'm working on the concentrate and do your homework part and it's not going unnecessarily bad.

Thirdly, osap decided to hold the money they said they were going to give me and now I'm down to my last dollars. I have till Wednesday to get the money or they lied about when they were going to give it to me. I'm practising my patience and working really hard to not go to the grocery store because I know if I do, I won't get out without buying stuff.

 

These things have made my college experience less than helpful at times but they are still nothing compared to the amount of time I spend watching my tv. I feel a much needed intervention in the near future!

Movin In

Dearest friends who care enough to take the time to read my blog,
Today I did something different from every other day that I've lived. I moved out!! Now some of you are probably thinking that means into an apartment or an abode of my own but that is not the case. I am currently residing in residence which is just one step closer to that fully moved out feeling.
I was scheduled to move in from 11am-1pm today so we left home at 7 and arrived around 10:45ish. With much time to spare, we started unpacking the van and moving things up. Let me tell ya folks, the view from the 4th floor is one filled with trees, vehicles and more trees. It's beautiful!!! I can't say that I've ever felt more at home in my life! Well, except for at home.
When I first got into the room with Ma and Pa I started to arrange the furniture to my preferred placement. That bed being turned against the way was the best decision I've made all day (besides the club sandwich for lunch). The amount of space left over after the rotation of the sleeping quarters is so fantastic, and a bonus is, there's so much more room for activities!!
It took me longer to unpack my boxes and settle everything in my room than it took my roomie. She was done almost before I started. However, I'm pretty sure I'm a little OCD and things need places. Not just "look at that nice piece of floor, I think I'll just drop that right there." No, that is no way to create a living space for a study infested, sleep deprived, college student. My room is organized and if anyone has a problem with that then they shouldn't come over.
At first my attitude was, "I'll just be a loner and never make any friends". Now, I'm going to a meet and greet and a rez meeting thang which are both supposed to help me make "long and lasting friendships". I'll believe it when I see it. I am open to new friends though, don't think I despise newbies for I am one.
