Thirsty Thursday passed without any abnormally bad incidents- I think... Don't worry, I was watching my TV shows with a friend... and now I pause to ponder the particulars of college.
1. There is a stunning lack of privacy. There is something enormously unnerving to shower and know that the only thing separating your naked body from the whole world's viewing (okay, just the other people in the bathroom) is a thin curtain. Plus, it is nearly impossible to tell which showers are occupied. We need a system people!!!!
2. Freedom rocks. And, freedom makes prof's way more interesting because they can say pretty much anything they want, and they can make their assignments more creative- though some choose to stick with the boring...
Not Dr. McKenzie though. We are doing an "ultimate research project" aka scavenger hunt where we search all over Yates County to find a tiny little statue of socrates. Correction- as of 3:00, this contest has ended, and MY TEAM WON!!!! ..."a bunch of freshmen won?!?" - yes. yes we did.*
3. Shrimp night last night was awesome. Real shrimp. Real good shrimp.
4. Went to a meeting of the college republicans (oh wait, I can't say anything bad... Kraig is a follower of this blog... jk) It was kinda cool, as there was collaboration between county republicans, a leader of the county young republicans, and our budding college republicans group. Looking forward to helping register people and 'get out the vote' - but not in a MTV, VH1, Obama way. :) The only thing was that I was way underdressed (the guys were wearing ties and the girls all had a black pants and sweater thing going on...) and that I couldn't stay for the whole meeting and probably wont be able to go to too many meetings because I have class at that time normally. Dumb classes too. :(
5. Went on a bike ride along the lake. One of the many benefits of Keuka College. It's really beautiful. All the cars kind of ruined it though- I had to move over way too much - it was like a mass migration, people leaving campus for the weekend and people coming to their little cottages on the lake for the weekend. It ends up Friday is not the best day for a bike ride.
*I am actually a sophmore transfer student, technically. All those AP classes really paid off. Although since I have to take things like Music Appreciation (bluh) and Psych 101 (sooooo boring), and English 112 in the spring, I mine as well be a freshman. Not that I'm complaining though (well, I am about the classes being so boring...) skipping my freshman year will save me thousands of dollars, and I can get out there and be an OT faster (can't wait!)

I am soooooo jealous of you for skipping freshman year. I wish I could skip freshman year. That is SOOO cool. And, shrimp, really?
Why aren't you a sophmore? You took a lot of AP's, right? And you probably kied butt on all of them,especially the english ones. How many credits did you get?
