These last two weeks have been kinda crazy. I moved into my first real apartment and school has started in full swing. Like get-four-hours-of-sleep kind of swing (last night was not pleasant. Excuse my grouchiness.) Anyway, this year I have my own room and bathroom (!) which I was really excited about. Everything is all decorated, after many, many trips to seemingly every store in Charlottesville over the course of a week (I didn't really buy that much. Honest. I just like to make informed purchasing decisions.)
Like I said, I've had class for a little over a week, and it's already crazy. I had a model and a "manifesto" due today, neither of which were very much fun and both of which resulted in me getting about four hours of sleep. Yeah, not good.
My classes are fine. I wish that the curriculum was set up differently, because this year we only take architecture classes, which is a little much for me. I'm really missing my elective classes that I took first and second year. Plus, I essentially live in Campbell Hall. Since it's about a twenty minute walk from my apartment, I basically stay at school from the morning until late afternoon. Let's just say I've had better schedules.
One exciting note about architecture: this year we are taking a trip to NYC for our fall break. It should be a lot of fun. I think I'll be really excited once we get our accommodations in order. I'll post more about this later.
Despite the schoolwork and the errands, I've had a lot of fun catching up with my friends since returning to C'Ville. This has facilitated my re-acquaintance with several of my favorite food places (I've already eaten at the Tavern, Pita Pit, Take it Away, Arch's, Raising Cane's, and Lemongrass. I think that's fairly impressive for 12 days.) I've also gotten to having out with my friends that I hadn't seen all summer, which has been lots of fun.
I think its going to be a good year. If I can get some sleep. And fit some exercise into my schedule. But otherwise, good stuff so far. I'm going to go watch some TV now. Goodnight.
