A Post -- Finally

I know I said I wasn't good at keeping up with my blogging, et cetera et cetera. But in lieu of somebody's emailing me and asking me when I was going to update my college blog, I finally decide to do.

First things first.

I am in Viva Las Vegas! So of course, I am three hours back in the past from most of you. I flown here from DC with Colleen last Tuesday. So far my time here has been amazing. Grady, my roommate this fall, has let me and Colleen stay at his house for the time being. His family has been incredible and his house is wonderful. And Vegas!

Las Vegas!

The lights! The rocks! The people! The heat! Oh, my GOD. The heat was a shock to me. Colleen put it quite well: "It's like a lion swallowed me!" so we have been keeping ourselves hydrated and air conditioning is everywhere, so that's good. I haven't decided which coast heat is the best; people who live here tell me to wait until I return to the east coast and rediscover humidity. We'll see.

School has been the fartherest thing on my mind now -- it being summer and all. I refused to work or take classes this summer. I guess it will have to be the last summer to bum off and play around. I was at Gally most of the summer, or northern VA at least. School is supposed to start late this year -- August 28 or something like that. Here is my Fall 2009 class schedule just because.

SOC 101, MW, 11am-12:20pm
Introduction to Sociology, need I say more? Requirement of my major.

COM 440, MWF, 1-1:50pm
Intercultural Communication Studies. I have no idea what this class might bring, but it's part of my major, so. The professor is also said to never touch herself when she is signing, so this might be fun.

DST 311, TTH, 9:30-10:50am
Dynamics of Oppression. What the title says. MJ also teaches this, I'm kinda looking forward to it. Requirement for my major as well. Okay, all of the classes I'm taking this fall is for my major.

DST 314, TTH, 11am-12:20pm
Oral Traditions Deaf Community. I was supposed to take this before my ASL Literature course last semester, but they let me flip it around so to fit my 4 year plan. I'm kinda worried about this; supposedly lots of writing.

HIS 111, TTH, 2:30-3:50pm
American History I. Yes, this is a requirement. No, I am not looking forward with it. I'm not terrible with history, except all the dates to remember. Maybe Dunham will be able to help me whenever I need her to :)

I also will be living at Clerc Hall with three other guys. I hope to get a job as an office assistant at the Residential Life office. I WILL have my car. A couple of my friends will not be returning to Gally... it will be a whole 'nother, different semester for me! I'll be a junior, and nobody can seem to believe it. I promise to update this more often... or at least without 4 months hiatus inbetween posts :)
