Fall break already?

I have been a college student for 45 days. Fall break beings this Friday (It's sort of lame, because we just get Monday and Tuesday off) and midterms start the week after. I have 2 (European Lit doesn't have one, because we write so many papers). I shouldn't complain, because I'm taking under the normal course load because band gives me 4 credits, but still. COLLEGE TESTS. Or pretty much just ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY TEST, since I could cares less about my Roman Civ test. I rule in that class. I can list off all the kings like a boss. :) Ancient Rome nerd! (random fact: I am listening to Aida right now)

Anyways, back to the dreaded policy test. In my discussion for the class, the TA apologized to the first years who had to take it. He keeps repeating over and over again that the test is, "incredibly difficult". The teacher does multiple choice where multiple answers are correct, and you have to get them all. AND she focuses on tiny details, like who was Senator of which state at the time this report came out, which would be okay, except we've literally read over 400 pages of reports for her class. BAH BAH BAH. I would explode if I didn't love the topic so much. Sure the SO2 and NOx stuff sucked, but now we're onto radioactive waste. I am all over Uranium-235. And for putting it all in Canada. :) I love my discussion.

But I'm studying like crazy. Since the readings are so important, I'm going back and outlining EVERYTHING. This may seem like a simple feat, but one article literally took me 6 hours to completely outline. Egads. I have until the 12th. I anticipate many all nighters in Clemons. Having a 24/7 library is such a brilliant idea.

Today is Wednesday, which means I have no classes! Sadly I have to head over to student health soon to get an immunization I missed. :( Bah. Then I shall come home, do laundry, check the mail, maybe shave, read some Greek comedy, and study study study policy. Life is good.

But really, it is. :) College is a blast. It hasn't completely met my expectations yet. I don't have any crazy stories to tell, and I'm hesitant to go out of my box and do anything. My biggest rebellious moment was having a shot of vodka (mixed with tons of lemonade, because i'm a lightweight), which on UVA standards makes me an extra pansy. Seriously. Everything they say about UVA is true. People DO get drunk all the time. No matter the reason. And then go streak the lawn.

Emily is a good kid though, and sits in her room talking to her boyfriend at all hours of the day. That's getting sort of tiring, just saying. I'm ready to go out and have some fun.

Tomorrow U2 is coming, so there has been construction in the stadium all week building this massive stage. Lucky for me, the stadium is right across from my dorm. My friends and I plan to spy. After going into town and getting Thai food, that is. :) Band is cancelled for U2. I don't think anything else has enough power to cancel band.

Then fall break! :D Heck to the yes.
