I am sitting in the library.. on a friday afternoon...just trying to get some homework done before the weekend. While this seems like the least interesting thing about my life, I just want you all to know that I am absolutely loving clemson. I miss my family and friends so much, but these new horizons are just invigorating (especially when they have a few mountains dotted on them).
And dear readers, if you were wondering, the school part of school is going pretty swell too. I actually had my first real architecture project. Granted, we were just instructed to construct a 2in x 2in x 2in box out of matte board. Regardless, I set up camp in the hallway, blasted music, and worked away on my little project. This was a great opportunity to meet new friends (or scare them off..) and wake the first floor of my dorm up for once. I even played my guitar up and down the halls to invite people to cookie break. Needless to say, it was ineffective. Seriously, the first floor is just not happening 97% of the time. maybe it's just an honors dorm thing....
Also, I reaallllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy love meeting all of these new people. Especially in the beginning like this, everything is an open possibility. Really, anything could happen. Lots and Lots and Lots of new and awesome people. It's awesome. I've even made friends with the dining hall workers. I guess that's what happens when you spend more time in the cafeteria than you do the library. maybe I should make friends with the library workers..
A few of my new friends make fun of me for knowing so many people already. I know, it might be a little creepy when I just go up to random folks and barge in with "Hi I'm Kat, I'm from Louisiana. Want to be friends?" but it seems to be working out just fine. Well, most of the time. There are a few people that stare at me like I'm literally insane (I might be just a little), but people are generally welcoming for the most part. Actually, Clemson was voted #2 happiest students. and believe me, I can attest to this fact. I'm happier than ever and already bleeding orange. Go tigers! (both of them!)
Speaking of meeting people, I've met quite a few characters. You know those people that just add interesting spice to life?! Well since I've met a ton of people, I've also met my fair share of these gems. While the stories are too many to reiterate now, I will tell you that I met a nerd that told me I was beautiful and I had toned legs. Creepy? absofrickinlutely.
regardless, I am flattered.
There are a few downfalls to college, but I can only think of one right now. That one downfall would be my sleeping schedule. There is always something to do and someone to hang out with! I just never sleep anymore. I just like to think that I don't sleep that much so I can take advantage of all the opportunities that Clemson University has afforded me. whoop whoop yeah!
I hate to be so scatterbrained, but yet another fun thing about life is how many people that know how to play the guitar in college. Jam sessions until 3 am are the best. Hey you have a 9 am class? who cares! see previous paragraph about not sleeping. once again, the college experience > sleep. alwayz.
well dear readers, that is everything that you should want to hear about my present life. lots of things are happening and it is all such a whirlwind. I truly am thankful for these abundant opportunities and the many graces God has placed in my life. Life rocks!
seek adventure my friends.
