So, classes start tomorrow. I'm so giddy I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to sleep. But today was kind of busy, so we'll see how tired I really am once I crash into bed.
First things first, I went to the gym again today. But today, instead of just doing some piddly cardio workouts, Meredith introduced me to weight lifting. Like, the heavy bars that they use in the Olympics and such. She taught me how to squat, which is apparently a very posture specific workout that was hard to get right even without the bar. And the bar without any weights was heavier than I expected. It was a very strenuous workout, and I kind of hurt all over, but a good kind of hurt. I can't wait till Friday, when we go again. This workout is an every other day sort of affair.
I did laundry today, and apparently so did every other kid in the dorms. Every washer and dryer was occupied when I got there, but somehow Meredith and I managed to snag a few for our clothing. Although, it was amusing to help the other kids who were doing laundry for the very first time. "Can I put this with my whites?" "Why do I have to sort them?" "Is there just a 'Clean' button I can press? All these choices are confusing."
That took a good chunk of the afternoon, but aside from the small panic attack of thinking someone had stolen my clothes (they were just placed on a laundry table so someone could use the dryer when my load was finished, whew) it was a pretty mundane chore. It rained again this afternoon, as I discovered when I ventured out to meet my friends for our last hurrah dinner before things get hectic.
The thai place we tried was okay, convenient in the fact that it is literally across the street from my dorms, but not nearly as good as the place we found during Comicon. But that's besides the point. Dinner was kind of early so we could head down to the club fair, which was a little interesting, I suppose. I mean, I wasn't that interested in a lot of clubs, except for one or two. I did look into the Photography club, as I couldn't fit a class into my schedule this semester; and Quiz Bowl piqued my interest so we'll see how that pans out.
Other than that, I'm not really interested in a lot of the extracurricular activities they have on campus. Guess I'll have to start my own clubs. :)
