Today was pretty mundane. Which, being Sunday, wasn't that unexpected. I enjoyed it. I didn't manage to fix my bike, sadly, but I can still ride it, I just have to be careful in a crowd. I still haven't heard from Discover. The bastards. I'm going to seriously have to call someone about this loan issue.

Biggest accomplishments today? Mom was kind enough to drop my fridge and text books off to my dorm, as was grandpa, thanks guys! I rearranged my room a bit to accommodate it, and proceeded to wake Ramesh up with my unpacking. But seriously, it was around eleven by that point. Stop sleeping. That was all done, and we decided to finally take out the growing pile of move-in and Target shopping trash that mostly consisted of boxes and product packaging. Our room is so clean and organized now; I love it.

I finished my calculus homework early today! It isn't due until Wednesday, but now I have that time to work on other things (fixing bike, cough). Also, I joined another club, some sort of satellite volunteer/internship club that works with satellites and data and things. First meeting is this week. I'm super excited.

I'm also looking forward to my first human event class. It's a requirement of honors students, and it sort teaches one to analyze, debate, and write arguments along with reading critically and applying those ideas to current events. I didn't have it last week, unfortunately, but tomorrow is the first time I have the chance to meet my professor. I picked him because he is very involved in Asian studies, including trips overseas. My thinking was become good friends with him, make sure he remembers my name, and maybe I'll get the chance to go abroad with him on a school trip.

The final piece of excitement to my day would have to be the gym. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I am. Maybe I was remembering PE, which was for a grade and seeking the approval of the teacher for said grade. It was not fun. But now, I dunno, I'm looking forward to gym days now. My only thought is because I'm doing it for me, and not for anyone else; not for a grade, but just to feel better and fitter. Meredith and I did a different set of weightlifting today, and while it isn't as bad as the first time I went with her, I'm starting to feel the soreness in my muscles. She said she enjoys making me hurt, and I kind of like it too. It's a good pain. I will say that she was impressed with my leg strength on this one machine.

She better be, I was doing leg workouts over summer.

But I am finishing the day with laundry and Chinese homework, while I type this up. It's a lot better than the first time I came to the laundry room. For one thing, everyone here seems capable of doing their own washing. No questions were asked of me tonight, yay. You'd think, these kids being the tops of their classes and getting into a super competitive honors college, they'd have some knowledge of basic life skills. I guess not. A lot of them can't cook either. It's a little depressing. Instead of the college 101 class (learning how to be successful in college: note taking, paper writing, etc) these children should take Living 101. How to cook basic human sustaining food, clean your clothes without ruining them all, and how to fix things with a simple tool set. Seriously people.

I really should get to bed. I have class tomorrow. But not at 7 in the morning. Ahahaha.
