currently playing: Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs

Yesterday:

I woke up and looked at the clock on the wall. It read 10:30am, and I got up all excited that I finally slept in past 9:30. I went and took my shower (oh how I missed the dorm showers) and I came back to my room and turned my computer on. I looked on the clock of the computer and it read 9:45. I was like..."?" cause I thought it was an hour later. Yea, I forgot that we never changed our wall clock for daylight savings time. I was used to reading it an hour fast last semester, but I completely forgot about it this morning. The whole point is that I didn't sleep in past 9:30... it was 9:30. Once Derek got up, we went to breakfast at D-express, and came back to get a few things. Then we went to the bookstore to get Derek's books and to get notebooks and things for me. After that, we came back here and chilled for a while before Andy, Andrew, Derek, and I walked around campus to find our classrooms. We did that for a good while and then got some lunch. Most of my classes are on one spot of campus then make me speed to the entire other side of campus in 15 min. We'll see how that goes. I may be late for a few classes each time. We came back and just chilled out for a while. I showed andrew some of my originals for piano and we recorded one of them so that we could start putting other instruments to it. That took up a little bit of time. David and Jason finally got here. Eventually, we all were hungry for dinner around 6 (we dont usually eat that early), so all 10 of us - (Stu, derek, me, matt, jason, casey, kiril, andrew, and some other guy that I can't remember)- went to dinner at Owens. I had a salad that wasn't all that bad. After that we chilled in the room until Wes and Nick got back. We helped them move in the freezing weather (it was snowing by the way). After that, I got an e-mail from Kevin Springer asking if a friend of his could shadow me tomorrow. I told him that it's the first day of classes and it probably was the worst day to have a shadow, but he said his friend wouldn't mind. His friend called me and we worked out the meeting plans and all. So he will go with me to a few classes tomorrow, then I will bring him back to the dorm so he can see what it's really like living in this place. After all of that, Amanda called and we talked for a while. Then all of a sudden she hooked up her airplane camera to her computer and it worked as a web cam! Man, I had no idea that it could do that. So I searched around my room for my web cam and finally found it in some box in my closet. So I hooked it up and we used them for a while. It was really nice seeing her. I sent her an e-mail, then got ready for bed. She must have gotten it right then because she called me a few minutes later. After talking with her, I slept. Now, an end to break, a new semester, a looong day awaits. Time to meet this brian kid. I hope everyone enjoys their day off. I will make the best of mine.
