A List.

-I'm excited to take Hip Hop and Constructing Language over J-Term (ridiculous month long time to take non-credit courses, be cold, eat smores, hang out, be lazy. HELL TO THE YES.)
-I need to run. Go to the gym. Something. No frisbee. :(
-I need to sleep so I'm gonna do that now.

Frisbee Tourney

The tourney last weekend was awesome, I didn't get a point but I did block and pass and I played every game. We went 3-3, lost to montreal, williams and amherst high (they are so freaking good).
so yeah. life is good. scrimmage today. then dinner, free shirts and food for multifaith council at 7 (coexist shirts!), kuchipudi at 8-9:15, reading afterwards. in between, math, french, and some good old aristotle...nicomachean ethics, what what?

Wrapping Up

So there you have it, one month (more or less) of blog posts documenting my transition from NC public school/hot weather/leaving awesome people/lack of awesome international students to Massachusetts "elite" (oh god, i hate hate hate rankings) private liberal arts college/weird weather/meeting awesome people/dorm life/adventures in the socials.

It's been pretty great so far and I hope it continues.

I can safely say I've made some friends, a few from ultimate, a few from dance, a few from randomness, a few music nerds, a few hp nerds, a few non-hp/music nerds, a mixture of everything. And I know a whole lot of sub-free-dormers which will make for fun Saturday night sing a long parties.

I might/should continue blogging everyday. It's really great...it feels like I'm writing a letter to myself, sort of, and it's good for carthasis/break from studying sort of thing.

I'm having fun doing things I've never done before like wear cleats, eat cider doughnuts, play ultimate and learn the flick, learn kuchipudi, befriend jamaican/japanese/singaporean/ethiopian kids, see the godfather, and look at jupiter through a telescope.

I hope that I can continue doing things I've never done before.

I'm also having a good time studying what I WANT to study, (except for math but that's okay...that's my own fault).

I'm planning the rest of my time here, getting exciting about upcoming activities, and planning "trips" with my friends...we're going to Boston, New York, and Montreal in seperate weekends...(Montreal isl ike 6 hours away! SIX HOURS! Can you believe it? I can't).

Well I'm going to read Plato now.

THanks for following my blog, alyenfrance, my only follower :D

-so long- I may be back sometime soon!

why diversity is flippin' awesome

I THINK this is my last blog, but I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to check. So here we go.

Colleges like to talk about diversity and such, and sometimes they overdo it, but I really do think it's important...take my school for example. We have so many international students and kids from 48 states, and we only have 1700ish students. It's pretty awesome. Internationals add sooo much to your college experience, because their cultures and societies are so different, etc etc, and it's really cool to know people from different states/of different religions, social classes, races etc. 40% of students here are "students of color" as it were (i never understood how to use the phrase as it were...hm).

Anyways, if I were to go to say, warren wilson college, outside of asheville, which is 98% white (no problem with that, may i add, there would still be a diversity of religions and stuff) but i just wouldn't get the same experience, the same richness of extracurricular activities, and social-stuff-to-do

so anyways...yeah, diversity is awesome

yom kippur//crepes//bird sanctuary adventures

yesterday involved lots of adventures...first me and some friends went to a tango lesson and learned how to tango :D
then we went to dinner
then me and this person who i will call nerdboy (despite the fact that he's not thhhaaat nerdy) played ping pong
then we found people from our orientation trip and went to the bird sanctuary (at night, mind you) and it was really neat. the mountains were in the background and the sky was pink and such. nerdboy was making one of my other friends think there were northeastern scorpions...
then we visited waldorf (a modular trailer dorm b/c our class is kinda big) and we lost the friend who was being accosted by nerdboy about scorpions D:
then we went back to stearns (sub free HP themed dorm) to another friend's room. she had a huuuge stash of japanese food that we feasted on and we talked about randomness
then me and my james buddy who i will call jersey-boy returned to our dorm and i went to sleep
