Getting in the swing of things

       Since I last posted, things have definitely been winding down and (kind of, almost) getting normal. I worked all weekend, which is definitely back to normalcy, and had an even better time at work this weekend than I did my first day. The people I worked with were so welcoming. One girl told me we should go to the dog park sometime, and they all gave me their numbers. I just really felt totally comfortable. I think this also had to do with the fact that I was in drive thru. Comfort zone for sure. My friend Jillian from work lent me an air mattress. See? just super nice after just meeting her.
      The precursor to that is that I finally had to break down and stay at my place. It just isn't practical for me to keep driving back and forth every day. So, I got Barbara's roll-away bed out of the deep trenches of her garage. (Really, it was kind of a lot of work to get it out, and I left about a foot and a half scratch on Janice in the process). I knew it wasn't going to be like super comfortable, but man, I had no IDEA what I was getting myself into. When I finally got the thing flattened out, it was about 6 inches too short for me. Figures. There must have been no tall people (I'm not even that tall) back in the 60s because Barbara also has an old bed that I sleep on when my parents are here with me, and I have to lay diagonally to fit on that too. So I pushed my coffee table to the end of the bed to extend it kind of. THEN I layed down on it. No support whatsoever. The worst part of the whole thing though was me just picturing the cockroaches crawling all over the walls and floors every time I shut my eyes. But anyway, enough about a bed. Jillian's air mattress was like 23948305 times better. So, THANK YOU JILLIAN.

      Okay, so Thursday was the start of the new school year. It's hard to explain how weird it feels to be back in school. Especially here. Even though I took classes at Heartland, I basically feel like I took a whole year off of school. My first class was Human Sexuality. As you can imagine, it's going to be pretty interesting. The professor is this older, cooky lady, and she's pretty funny and very approachable. I think I'm going to like that class. Friday I had Geology, and science is science is science, so I don't like it. But the professor seems really cool. Screenwriting was cool yesterday. It was in a building I had never been in before, so that was cool. And it's a professor I've already taken a class from, and there is even a girl from all my film classes freshman year in there, and she remembered me! It was nice (and also weird) to see her. Race and Gender is going to be like every other film class. I'm not looking forward to most of the screenings, but we got to watch The Hangover last night. The only class that I am absolutely going to dread is my computer class. Not only is it eerily similar to a class that I was failing so I dropped it freshman year, but it also is just long and boring and he's monotone and I just surf the internet.

      That's all for right now. I'm exhausted and am frankly surprised I'm still awake. More tomorrow!

BUT GOOD NEWS: I GOT MY STUFF. HOORAY! Just had to share that.
