I got moved in and went to Half Price Books and a Borders Outlet that was going out. I mean, come on, seriously? Boo. Yah.Kristen just made me watch The Last Samurai, so I'm kinda distracted.... and sniffly. But I felt that I should post, well, something.Oh, it turns out that there isn't a new roommate... and ResLife didn't even tell Tessa until yesterday.

School til 3:00. Back to the dorm to unpack my bag and get my homework sorted. Over to the library to print off a history assignment. A mile walk to the picnic, where I walked some more with Katie, Tim and Elwin. Awww. So cute, he is. (Elwin, that is. *grins*) Supper, talk with Herr Hollender and Tim and Katie. Tim is seriously nice.

An amazing series in my opinion. Anyway, I was very excited because I got to see Siebold Adelbertsmiter for the first time. :)Siebold "Zee" Adelbertsmiter, undercover (inhttp://starsunite.blogspot.com/2009/09/siebold.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (~Ley)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25244501.post-1455525154825533982Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:52:00 +00002010-01-18T16:54:30.819-05:00I just bought a $5.00 notebook at the bookstore. I think I'm in love.It's adorable! With little swirlies and turtles in blue. And it's made out of banana paper. Go green? (Eat a chimney, save a tree!)

Professor Evans is sick again. I'm starting to get a little worried about her. But at least I'll actually have time to read Othello and stay caught up on all my homework.I finished my paper this morning 20 minutes before class started. (Breakfast was a granola bar.) I don't think it was half bad. It was only 4 pages, but I ended up with 5 sources, and I washttp://starsunite.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-free-time.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (~Ley)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25244501.post-3463019641397259000Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:53:00 +00002009-09-12T15:03:30.882-04:00I have accomplished much today, just none of the really urgent things. *cough, cough* ESSAY! *cough, cough* We walked a mile to Aldi's and spent all of our cash (a whole seven bucks) excepting two dollars in change. The check-out lady was amused. I've done all my laundry, and Kristen is actually doing hers now.And, this is probably the most impressive, I opened the mailbox all on my own.

I was still totally on a high from my talk with Katie, so I was rather cheerful. The two questions she gave were the ones I thought were the absolute easiest. I think she might have done that on purpose and just given us the others to make us think. o.O So, I got to ramble about corruption in the Catholic Church, and I actually remembered all the names of http://starsunite.blogspot.com/2009/09/decameron.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (~Ley)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25244501.post-1529192446076123493Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:52:00 +00002009-09-11T12:57:25.833-04:00I am so excited! After German class today, Katie and I walked to lunch together and started talking. We ended up eating together, and we have a lot in common. She is a double English/German major, wants to be an editor, and loves to read and write. She also loves fantasy in particular. Very cool. Anyway, amidst all this chatting I brought up NaNoWriMo.
