Back at School....

Well after a good long 6 week break of eating and sleeping back in Bloomington, I finally found my way back to blustery, boring Galesburg. It was really hard to leave all my friends in the cities. I got to see most of them over break, even the ones at school, since those in school were a short drive away.
My new classes for this trimester are Microeconomics, a critical reading class, and Atmosphere and Weather. They are all very difficult and time-consuming. My econ class meets 4 days a week. So far the material isn't too tough, but there is SO MUCH READING every night! My teacher wears turtlenecks and wears her pants up really high. My favorite part is that she sounds EXACTLY like Marge Simpson .

The girl who sits next to me in econ wears a suit to class every day and it makes me wonder....Should I wear a suit to class? I keep wanting to give her a handkerchief to wipe the brown off her nose; the way laughs after our econ professor makes a (not so) witty comment makes me wonder if I missed the joke. I always sit in the front row, and so does she. It's an epic battle (one-sided...her side) Every day she comes into class, looks at me, sighs, and sits down in the chair next to me. Then, reviews the situation and decides she can't be next to someone of my echelon, stands up again, and pulls her seat a good 5 feet ahead of mine. If you can picture it, the front row now has a sort of protrusion right in the center. She likes to be about a foot away from the overhead (closer to the professor?). Sometimes I act really offended to keep her going. It's really the only thing that gets me through class.

My critical reading class is very interesting. The professor looks like Kate Winslet, and is very loud and somewhat intimidating. Today she asked a foreign student a question, and when he mumbled the answer in a Spanish accent she shot back- "HAVIERE. EITHER SAY WHAT YOU JUST SAID IN AN AMERICAN ACCENT, OR SPEAK LOUDER." Poor chap.


My atmosphere and weather class is very difficult- very physics-y. I'm NOT good with that stuff. I struggle through every class, and just try not to get to frustrated. Our professor is very good-very into what he's doing.



I did laundry tonight, and I did a load of entirely wool socks. I have a plethora of them, you see, from Christmas. Thanks Mom.



All for now, but I'll add more later. I should get back to my (endless) homework.
