school's back [forever]

Did you get the news yet that, yes in fact this is going to be my year? Last year, which I would like to make known as the twelve months in which my blood pressure nearly soared will be just a distant memory... No more crazy apartment dramas, with out of control roommates, zero world's-worst boyfriend sagas, and even spiritual crises culminating in major u-turns. 

Junior year has already gotten off on a good foot, and I hope it stays that way.

Today was the third day of school, and let me tell you, not even a ridiculous heat wave (think mid 90s) or a strike will get in my way of getting stuff done.  I just put on a Lily sundress avec massive sunglasses and go with it. 

It was the typical, typical run around:

Syllabus after syllabus.  Attendance, which is taken the first day only (haha).  Bikes zooming by.  Mile long lines at Jama Juice.

But then there was someone really cute, and really friendly.  This is the person who is going to make Philosophy 1001 worth while.  here's how that all went down:

Imagine: 8:50 am on Wednesday.  I am walking to the other side of campus, it's already hot.  I enter the building that I had the terrible Anthropology class in exactly one year ago.  Was I going to have post-traumatic stress disorder as a result?  I had to buck up.  Lecture hall 270, find a seat in the way middle.  There was major "dork" (I know, lol) on my left and then the cute guy on my right.  It was chit chat central from then on, followed by, "you have such perfect girl handwriting."  You know, nothing is hotter than a man who compliments your penmanship.  Then we had the usual exchange of info (year in school, major, neighborhood living in...), followed by an inquiry into what discussion section I had and if I had a class after.  And talk about manners, as we are leaving he puts out his hand and says, "My name is Bobby, it's really nice to meet you."  I am drying inside.  Bobby?!?  What!  Is this 1954?  I'm loving it.  So after assuring that I'd sit in the same spot next lecture I got pushed by the crowd out the door.

Then last night after homework got done Brian took me to the MOA.  I eat lasagna, he had salmon with pesto.  It was delicious.  Then we played mini golf- my first time.  It was sad, at least in my opinion.  Golf is certainly not my forte, but it was fun!

So yeah, it's basically good times.

...After reading this you'd think I'd be going for an MRS. degree.

Hey if "Mrs." where a major....study hard! I love this post. I can't wait for school. The days spent languishing in my room were novel for about 2 days. I miss my productivity. I miss having things to blog about. And most of all I miss learning oh so much :(

Way to be, starting out with a good attitude...Sounds like you are going to have at least one "fun" class this year, ie "Bobby".
Fun post.
