today was my first day for classes. of course, i had to be late. i got up at seven, and got in the shower, and got marilyn up. we went to the bus stop around 8:00, and by the time we got to the campus, we were half an hour late for my first class. yikes. i walked in, and i felt everyone's eyes on me, so i sat in the first seat i could find. it was anthropology, and by the forty minutes i spent in class, it sounds pretty cool. i spent the rest of the day trying to drop and add courses. i was chasing profs around all over the place trying to get an approval for a german course. then when i got it passed in, i realized i signed up for the wrong semester. oh so smart am i. i'll have to get that straightened out when i have the energy. then marilyn, melissa, and i went to native studies. it sounds like it's going to be a hard class, and the prof even admitted that he's a hard prof. yay. but i'm staying in it. because i'm confident about myself, and i'm going to work hard, and i'm GOING to make the dean's list. so after that, peggy picked us up and they dropped us off at our place. i suffered on the couch, curled up in a ball. aunt flo paid me a visit and i had the third worst cramps i can remember. after three/four hours i gave in and took the ibuprofin i was *supposed* to take for the pulled muscles in my chest (from lifting beer all summer). i felt guilty for doing it, but it kicked in pretty quick and i'm fine and dandy. i felt awful though, the girls even wanted me to go to bed, they wanted me to take pain killers... i just wanted to curl up and die. so i decided to go to the mall. i went to groovy court and got a butterfly charm and string to make a necklace. i wanted to find beads to make a pride necklace, but they didn't have all the colors. i saw this guy with a pride necklace on at the university, and i figured it'd be a great way to advertise. i also got another vegetarian cookbook. oooh, guess what? i bumped into mike mclean. we were in the same class from kindergarten to grad. and he recognized me. so we talked, for almost ten minutes. i would have stayed a lot longer, but the mall had already closed. marilyn said his girlfriend looked jealous of me. heh. but he can't believe that i'm vegetarian, and that i don't drink/smoke/do drugs. i wish we got to talk longer though. except, his girlfriend works at the it store in the mall, so i'll probably see him around. and then we took the bus home. and when marilyn and i got off, we had a five minute walk to the apartment. so you know what i did? i came out to her. it was such a relief. she kind of suspected it. so stereotypical though. she said she kind of knew because melissa was gay and i hung around with her, and i always like to have my appearance perfect, and have things perfect. and then she was like "so that's why you wanted to go to the bead store!" she was being kinda annoying about it though, poking fun. i didn't like it that much, but that's how she is. she's completely okay about it though. i just don't ike the way she jokes about it "that's it, i'm moving out!" grr. but, that's all my main friends. now for the fun, hehe... um, i have to get up in six hours for class. i'll write more when i have time. and manda, thanks for the love in your diary =o) *pssst, where's that new look on life?*
