"I believe the children are our future...unless we stop them now."

Yesterday was the first day of school. I'm torn between emotions right now. On the one hand I'm surprised to find that I did miss school. I know that between Genetics and O Chem I'm likely to have a lot less hair by the end of the semester, but I'm excited to learn from both. And for some reason I've always liked homework, so as long as I find the time to do it, I'll be good. On the other hand, Salt Lake can be a lonely place. I know hardly anyone down here, and those I do are rarely around. Both of my roommates have boyfriends, so I really can't count much on them. I can always come home every other Tuesday I guess, and I do know a few other people, but it's still going to take getting used to. On my on weeks so far I come home and hide in my room, because I seldom make plans on days I work, and I feel weird just chilling around anyone at my house. Oh, the loser that I have lately become. I need to find more hobbies.

However, on a brighter note...It turns out that one of my roommates is in my Genetics class, and the other is in my Chemistry class/lab. Of my two classes, I'm already starting out with someone in there that I know...Sort of. And it'll be nice to have someone to study with conveniently placed in the very same vicinity as myself.

I guess Mondays will be taken up by league starting in a few weeks, and I definitely need to start going to the gym daily, so that should help. School of course will take up the greater portion of my life, and work. I'm also taking an institute course with a good work friend of mine, and it sounds really cool, so I'm excited. The Gospel and Early Christianity. I'm actually going to it for the first time in about 20 minutes.

Mody and I meet up between classes most days now and eat. You're welcome to join us. I don't know what your schedule is. Call me.

I will call you, but when do you guys eat? My schedule is wide open on my off weeks, except when it's closed.

Hi Pickle,
I can relate to this post. Until I moved to a new apartment a couple weeks ago all of my roommates had boyfriends and I didn't know anyone else so I mostly just stayed in my room. School starts for me on the 28th. I'm a little nervous to go back.

You will get used to it somethingkins. How did the institute class go? That one sounds interesting. I want to come.

FF: Wow, your school starts late. And on my birthday week.

Birdie: That's when you eat? For two whole hours?

Pinkie: I like the class so far. It's weird though, because all the guys seem to be either married or just got back from their missions. And it's mostly guys in there. I'm thinking conspiracy. Many are quite cute. The actual class DOES sound interesting, but it's only been one day and it was all introductions, which I hate, so we'll see. The friend I'm taking it with should make it interesting regardless.
