"And by the way, if you hate to go to school. You may grow up to be a mule"

Holidays are finally over, and it's back to the old grind. Had my first day of school today it went...... okay. I was 20 minutes late to my first class because, I got lost in this maze of a building that is even more confusing than Polsky! (if you can believe that! for people reading this who are unaware of Polsky's layout every floor looks the same! they have a bulletin board on each floor right where the elevator doors open so when I go there I usually take a marker to mark each bulletin board so I know what floor I'm on, it's crazy!). Apparently, they are remodeling Auburn for some reason, everything is torn up, and to make a long story short the room numbers are all messed up! There are two rooms with the same number in two different locations in the same building making things so very confusing. (Especially for someone who already doesn't have a sense of direction)! Instead of making it to my lab class, I ended up at some professor's office. Once I found my class, and it was time to leave I couldn't find my way out of the building! You know the saying where if you keep walking in one direction you'll eventually make it to the end? Yea, well I tried every door and ended up going in a circle coming back out where I started! (I found out later that, that saying only really applies to a forest).I thought I was going to die in there but, thankfully after passing this guy three times (he was the only guy in the whole building, it was deserted). He thankfully told me how to escape the building of death! Okay, now maybe I'm just being a little over dramatic but, seriously I've never been that lost in a building before............well besides that one time in Polsky but, you understand! Hopefully, I will have much better luck finding the room next Monday. After my first class, I met up with Beezy, and we worked out in the Rec. Center for an hour and a half. We did the elliptical and Indian runs. The Indian runs where pretty easy since we didn't have a big group of people. I would like to try it with at least five people sometime though. I think that would be so much fun. My evening class we just went over the syllabus nothing too drastic/exciting happened. I'm happy though that so far I don't have any exams the week I'll be in Ireland so hopefully I won't have to worry about scheduling make ups.


Last Saturday I danced at the Universities, basket ball game that was pretty awesome! I had a lot of fun. I'll try and post a video of the dance we did. I think we did pretty good, are lines are a bit off in certain places but, we just made up the dance that Saturday morning (we where supposed to have made it up before that but, we couldn't since our other practice day got cancelled due to snow). so actually I think we look pretty awesome. Okay I can't figure out how to upload the video! oh well. Four classes tomorrow! busy day! all is well in my little corner of the world. I hope for the same for whoever is reading this.
