Friday update

Hey all,

This past week as been nothing but busy, it was nice not to have class on Monday though so that helped me out a bit. Tuesday was class and then Wednesday was typical class but at 7 my roommate Sean, student body president Jon, the controller of money in student government Cody, and Myself all participated in the first annual Greek Week. We did a relay race which we took 4th in because I couldn't tie a stupid toga and I'm not sure what we got in the donut eating contest, Sean took place in that and took 2nd in our heat. After the eating contest we participated in a trivia game where we took first overall, Jon knew all but 2 questions because he is the president he had to learn all of them and pass a test on them to become said president so we had a slight advantage over the other clubs.

Friday night I had to partake in a club presidents training session because...well I'm a club president, it was really informative but it was so boring at the same time. There was a make your own fajita bar though and that was good and made the whole thing worth it. I got out of that at about 7:30 and went to the last event of Greek Week which was a TOGA PARTY, who woulda guessed? It wasn't that much fun though, there were only about 30 people there and the music was to loud for where they had it so my friends and I left early and went and just hung out.

Next week I have a full week of school and then starting this Monday I have to go to a meeting on Monday and Wednesday every week so I can learn how the student government works because I want to run for one of the positions for next year but that isn't for a few more months.

I have to go study for a test on Monday, next blog up asap!

New Semester

Hey all,

The new semester has started and boy is it a big one. My schedule is pretty full. With philosophy, art 1010, and digital imaging 3 times a week I don't get out of classes until 5 but I don't start until 11 and I get an hour break between each class and Tuesday and Thursday I just have one class at 1 and that is silk screen/relief and it is pretty interesting so far. My classes have been going ok so far but I know that they will just get harder the further into the semester we go. Philosophy is going to be a hard class for me. I can tell because of all the books I had to buy for it. I have to read some Plato, decartes, and the professors book. I have already been studying hard for that class but it is nice that every 3rd week he gives us a break from class for the day. I am really enjoying my digital imaging class so far. We are just covering some of the basics in photoshop and I have already learned some cool new features.

Outside of classes though I have been busy as well. I am participating in the Greek Week Greek Olympics with one of my roommates. I don't know what I have to do for it but I am pretty excited for it.

The weather here has been really cold we got A LOT of snow just before the Christmas break and one of my roommates, a friend of mine and myself went sledding down a small hill that wasn't very good. I tried to snowboard down it and fell both times.

I hope everyone is having a good January and that no one has given up on those new year resolutions ;)

Your college kid,

Austin
