Classes started today. It is 28 degrees outside. The sky is gray, the wind is blowing, and there are flurries in the air that never really seem to find a place to land. I saw a large percentage of my RUF friends at lunch today ( and it wasn't even planned). Ahhh! We're back for real. Where did my Christmas break go?!

Quick synopsis of my spring 2008 classes for Mondays and Wednesdays:

Computer class looks like a piece of cake, my teacher is amazing, and I have an RUF friend in the class.

Business Writing is questionable, but my teacher is a nice, approachable, mom-like person. A friendish sort of person who I met at RA training is in this class.

Quick guessing session for my Tuesday and Thursday classes:

Accounting is going to kick my butt. I only hope the teacher is good because I've already received an email from him and I know he means business. I think I might have an RUF friend is that class.

Statistics just might also kick my butt, but I'll have an RUF friend in that class also who will be able to go through it with me.

Hospitality class is supposed to have a really boring teacher. The subject will, however, hopefully make this an excellent class. Don't actually know anyone in this class, but I do know of people who will be in this class.

This is shaping up to be a pretty good semester. Community Guide stuff has been a little difficult and very time consuming. People keep congratulating me for becoming a CG and that, to me, is a bit strange and hard to respond to. I am learning to embrace my crafty side, as well as my authoritative, parental, responsible side. The crafty part comes in with the bulletin boards and door decs (decorations). The authoritative, parental, responsible side comes in when I smell pot on my hall or people are being loud after quiet hours, etc.
Yesterday we had a dorm meeting and then split into hall meetings. I had to talk in front of about a hundred or so people and of course I blushed. I like to think that people have already forgotten about that.

Happy school year everybody! Enjoy all that work and reading that you have to do and continue to eagerly anticipate all the projects and papers and finals that will soon be upon you! Or... if you aren't in school... enjoy whatever it is that you do.
