Day one... survived!

I survived my first 8am class. I love being a full time student!!! It is amazing!!!
I've got lots of homework so this blog wont be too long. The two professors I've had so far have been really cool middle aged men. I'm excited for their classes (Chem and Sociology).
Haven't really met anyone new yet. I have chem with a friend from last year. I introduced myself to a woman in my soc class but she didn't seem that interested (she was easily 2 or 3 years older than me). I made an attempt!
My chem class has 250 people in it, while my soc class has 221(capacity). Its crazy to be in a lecture hall (I didn't have any lectures last year).
Being done with class by 11am rocks!!!
My online nursing class seems like it will be a lot of work, but not unreasonable.
Tomorrow is Statistics, and Human Lifespan Development. I get done at 12:15!
I've also made a vow to my self to get into great shape this year, I'm going to take a couple of fitness classes at the gym including: two days of Yoga (Monday/Saturday), one night of Zumba(Tuesdays), and a 30 minute "Ab Lab" on Fridays. I'm most excited for Zumba, which is essentially a dance class. Its going to be a lot of fun, and hopefully I'll be a lot healthier!
I'll update again by the end of the week so everyone knows I survived!

Pullman

Hey everyone,
I'm in Pullman WA, have been since Wednesday! It's been fun helping David and his roommates set up their new apartment. Classes start on Monday for them, next Monday for me.
Sorry I don't have a lot to say, just thought I'd update everyone.
Love to all.

In town

EVERYONE IS IN TOWN!!!
Mom and dad. Lars. David. Grandma & Grandpa.
I don't know what to do with myself. There's so many people in town!!!
Grandma told me I was fat... I know I've gained some weight but I've been struggling to get it off. I hate that. I know I'm not skinny. But since when is being a little bit heavy the end of the world.
Apparently I'm going to end up like my Grandma's aunts, 6 foot, 180lbs, wearing a size 12. Sorry I'm not 5 foot 1 inch like you are grandma... Sorry I'm a behemoth... my freaking bad.
I was confident in my self, but now not so much...

Obama, books, and chocolate cake

Obama is coming into town tomorrow and I was so excited to see him, but its all so stressful and GAH!!!!!! So I won't be going because I was too late to get anything done when it comes to going. I'm disappointed but I WILL SEE THIS PRESIDENT SPEAK... someday.
I get to buy all my school books and supplies tomorrow! And I paid my tuition tonight! HURRAY!!! I feel the stress ebbing away!
Chocolate cake sounds amazing, doesn't it?!

Brother In Town

So Lars flew in today to have a fun week with David and I.
So far we've played video games and sweated in the heat...
Yeah...
We're going to go floating down the river in the next couple of days, and we'll hit up the museum, maybe hike the M. I dunno! We'll see.

Work

Well work comes and goes as you all know and it seems my Safeway job has gone. Not that I can complain that I'm disappointed other than the whole money thing but I figure this gives me more incentive to get my ass in high gear to get my EMT crap moving.
I know the economy is hard on all of us, and I know haggling has totally come back... but for god's sake people you can only haggle a $.35 pop down so much, oh wait, not at all! When the competitor is at $1.00 or $.50 and the Safeway brand is at $.35 I don't know what leverage you have! We get a lot of people who haggle produce, meat, bakery goods and flowers. Those all make sense!!! I can understand that, but things like pop and frozen dinners. Come on...
Well that's my rant.
I'm very excited, my boys are in town this weekend and Lars will be here tomorrow!!! It'll be a lot of fun! We're going to float the river (weather permitting) and do some pretty cool things, maybe hike the M.
I'll update by the end of the week! BYE!
