Loooong time, no update.

I realize it's been forever since I've updated, but I figured I keep this up for people at home, and during break I was there with all of you so I didn't need to update!

Anywhos, it's the second week back and I'm doing pretty well. Busy, but not quite as busy it seems. I'll be changing my class schedule on the side of this blog, so everyone knows when I'll be in class and such...

So, I'm in limbo right now. I was told that I could move from Washington suite to Nebraska suite, but the girl that was living there before me apparently is refusing to move her stuff out...or at least, isn't moving. I don't know if she's necessarily attached to that particular room (and if she's not then my case gets better), but regardless I'm still stuck in Washington, even though I'm practically already a part of Nebraska. Half the suite in Washington treats me as if I'm not living there already, and apparently they don't know where I'm living. Nice to see they care, huh? Ugh...oh well. At some point and time, I will move, whether it's in that certain room or not. I'll find a way out, so maybe I can be happier with the living situation.

Let's see, what else...ugh, I have to do laundry tomorrow. I think I have about two loads worth of stuff, so it's not too bad. Not as bad as I've seen it in the past, haha. I have some reading homework to catch up on, and then I really need to do a deep cleaning of my room.

Speaking of homework, I've really lucked out with my classes. Most of them seem to only have reading as homework, which is always nice. I know I'll have papers due at some point for different classes, but it's not that big of a deal. I feel like it's a lot more managable this semester. I think part of it is because I don't have hardly any homework for my science class. We don't even have an actual textbook. We just have our lab manual and a suppliment reading, and that's it. We never have homework, except doing the labs and the suppliment stuff, but that's only like three chapters for a whole unit. Definitely not bad...not bad at all. I seem to be understanding most of everything that's going on in class, so far, so that's always a good sign. Although, this week we have our first actual lab, so we'll see how that goes. Laura is in the class with me, so at least I've got a study buddy!

My favorite class, hands down, is film. I'm so excited about the class. So far, we've watched good movies and I'm looking forward to the other movies we'll be watching. Part of my final for the class is to make a film, so this will be my first film ever! Script, actors, directing, editing...the whole 9 yards! Granted, I'm not doing it completely by myself...we can work in groups, which is good. I think I'd go crazy doing ALL of that all by my lonesome. I'm stoked about the writing, but I'm also interested in the editing process. I've never really done anything as far as that goes, so it'll be a new learning experience.

Well, I can't think of much else to say, and it's 12:25 am currently, so I should be off to bed!

Hey your mom told me about the room thing... good luck with that!! Just start taking a piece here and a piece there of the other girls stuff until it's all out. Put it in a broom closet or something... acutally put it in several closet's it'll give her something to do until school's over. :-)

Well...I'll just post a new blog explaining the whole situation. Guess that'll be easier.
