ARG!! What the heck?! There's no hot water at any of the dorms on campus. Or at least McCarty, Haggett, and Terry. I'm pretty surprised that people were still taking showers though this morning. The thought of an ice cold shower makes me want to kill something. It's one of the worst experiences. Getting kind of desperate though...maybe I'll have to go down to the IMA and shower there. I'm sure they have their own water heating system. I do need to go down there and register for hip hop as well. I think I just might do that after lunch.

The good thing is that I finally got e-mailed back for the Danceathon which is tonight at the North Husky Den from 7PM to 7AM...here are the rules they sent me and they were like bring your partner, if you don't have one we'll hook you up with someone...yeah right!! Whoever goes there without a partner and has to do it with some complete stranger has like a much harder time of winning anything. I think I might need to take a nap to prepare for it, but I don't know how much time I'll have :P

And oh, for those of you who were concerned about my bruise from fighting (*cough* my brother *cough*) :) don't worry, it was a friendly fight just for the hell of it! And no, it wasn't with Diane.

And lastly, what the **** is up with people just screwing with my damn tagboard and comments?

Wow, so I have so much reading to do because I've been slacking the first couple days... good thing there aren't any tests coming up! So I managed to get into a fight yesterday and now have a nice sized bruise on my left shoulder to prove it. I really wish someone would call me because I want to listen to my ring tone! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to manually play it for now ;). Yeah, I think I'm going to Odie pretty soon here because I need to watch a vid for dance. Wow, my cell phone is soooo much fun now, I have all these cool games on it. Yeah, wow, you can spend so much time getting ringtones and whatnot. Anyway, oh yeah, that thing called school...should get on that. :)

This quarter's classes are looking pretty awesome. Except for ME 123 which is looking like a complete bore. However, a bunch of people I know have taken the course and deem it pretty fun and easy...we'll see. I finally dled the images and stuff that I've taken with my camera, yeah, there's pictures from Shalom, the Winter Gospel Choir, pictures that I took at my dad's boss' house and two pictures of Zach from lunch at DragonFly. Rachel has been waiting for the Gospel Choir pictures for like ever :). So therefore according to the picures I have on my camera, I haven't taken pictures off for at least a month. Sadly, my parents want to take the digital camera the next time they come to see me which is in a few weeks so that my brother and Grandma can have it when they go over to China. Again. I mean, we've been over there enough times to have lots of the city mapped out in pictures. They're all the same anyway. Bleh, enough people I know have digital cameras I guess that it won't be a big deal. *tear* I really like mine though.

I am finally doing laundry at a good time. I have a decent amount of darks and whites where neither are exceedingly full and there's like one other person doing laundry. So I did three loads, comforter, dark, & white. Good stuff :).

And for some reason, this quarter one of the things that I've been thinking about is working out...I mean, I'm taking Dance 101, and I think I'll be more flexible for a while after it, it's good fun, and if the TC group gets its act together, maybe Friday Work Out Day will occur. Don't really own any work out clothes however...;) although it's a good excuse to go down to the UVillage and check out some cute clothes. Well, I should go see if I can do any studying for my classes...nothing for Dance, nothing for Comp Lit, homework in ME due next Wed., and then TC? Probably some reading. Yeah I should do that, or work on my IV site...or upload those pictures...yeah I think I'll do that first ;).

W00t! One class down, four more for today. Yes, I am awake hellishly early and it will continue to be so for the entire quarter since I have an 8:30 Dance class and I actually know someone in my section! Hilarious no? Six classes of 40 people = 240 people total taking Dance 101, and I happen to know one person in my section of 40 people. I would say that's pretty good. We got out at 9 today, not much to do, but I do have a bunch of stuff I need to buy for the class. I'm looking forward to my Comp. Lit class which is next though! Um...I think I'll stop blogging for now and spend the next couple minutes reading the Daily...ugh, looks like they're making school more expensive.
