| 2003-08-26/11:40 p.m. I promised you an upbeat entry and I'm going to give it to you. We'll start at yesterday. No not the bad parts about yesterday. The good parts; the parts that I'll forever hold in my heart. First it was the Convocation. This was not something I actually wanted to go to. But this turned out to be one of the most amazing little things I'd been to yet for Orientation. The speakers gave the most amazing "challenge" to us. It was how we really have to think about making a difference in the world and how to do it. It was presented by a biologist and a sociologist so it was cool listening to the different ways they spoke and what they emphasized. Before the Convocation I had met Caryn the girl I had been talking to all summer about coming to school here. She was really cool. I spent most of the day with her. Except before the last of the Orientation stuff. But she's really nice, I won't see her again until Thursday though. She and I went rappelling down O'Reilly Hall. I rappelled into O'Reilly hall but it was totally fun. I really want to take the Mil 101 class next semester, but I'm not sure if i'm going to be able to. It's only an hour a week though. And I get to go rappelling down the wall and shoot an M16. It's a GPA booster class. So we'll see what I need next semester, or year and what I have room for in my schedule. I met Caryn's boyfriend and I really didn't get any kind of impression from him. I didn't think much of him, but whatever. It's not my boyfriend, or even my friend really. Last night I spent most of the night in my room, for rather obvious reasons I think, but last night at like 12:30, a li'l after I got to sleep guess what happens? A fire alarm goes off. It was retarded... someone wasn't watching their food in the microwave on 4 so it burned and set off the alarms. I was pissed. After that I didn't get to sleep for a while. And after I was asleep I get waking up every like half hour or something like that. Today I went to my classes. My chem was pretty basic. I mean he passed out the syllabus and took roll, other than that there really wasn't anything to do today. CORE was really cool. This is my history/philosophy/religion course. It was actually treated like a class today. The way it works is that for two days we have a mass lecture of all 150 of us in the course and three days a week we meet in seminar which is smaller groups. It ties into my english class as well which I really like. But there are different teachers for the different seminars which puts an interesting spin on most things. Like papers will have a different spin on them as to which teacher assigns it. I can't wait! I went to my comp class today as well. I am totally in love with my english teacher. He has a Greg Kinnear smile, and he's so adorable. He makes fun of himself, if that tells you about his sense of humour and he just totally seems to be a cool guy. I can't wait to see if I actually improve. I have a feeling that I'll be getting a lot of stuff all over my papers to improve on. But if I don't understand that just means time to work on my homewrecking skillz right? I'll tell you more about him if I develop more "feelings" for him. Choir I'm still debating. There's too many altos in my choir and I'm afraid that he'll put me as a 2nd sop, or something like that. I don't know though. I have my audition for Wind Ensemble on Friday, so hopefully I'll find time to practice between now and then. Probably go between Chem and Core tomorrow and get a li'l practice in. But from the looks on the board there were only two of us auditioning, unless there were more already in the band. Who knows? I'll keep you up to date on that stuff too. That's all for now. I'll write later and tell you guys what my dad wrote to me in an email to let you know how he's doing and stuff. I love you all -Kates T-T-Teacher stop that screaming, teacher don't you see ? Don't wanna be no uptown fool. Maybe I should go to hell, but I'm doin' well, teacher needs to see me after school. Chorus: I think of all the education that I missed. But then my homework was never quite like this. Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, I'm hot for teacher. I got it bad, so bad, I'm hot for teacher. spoken: "Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back !" "I brought my pencil" "Gimme something to write on, man" I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold. I know about this school. Little girl from cherry lane, how did you get so bold ? How did you know that golden rule ? chorus (guitar solo) "Oh man, I think the clock is slow" "I don't feel tardy" "Class dismissed" -Hot For Teacher Van Halen
