HEELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HIYA!

OH MY GOD it's so nice to be back in Ripon! GAH! I'm so happy. Really truly am. I'm back on the campus I love and with my friends (and, yes, with Zach). ^_^

Today I had my first class--printmaking! It was a little intense! I'm one of four students, and it seems like it'll be a challenge. If I stay on top of things, however, I should be fine. I've been doing some sketches today already of an assignment we're starting on Thursday (it's due next Tuesday! Already! Eep!). But that was fun.

We all went to lunch and I had my usual wrap (spinach tortilla with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese). YUM. And some milk. I've been crrraaaaaaaaving milk.

Afterwards we all bummed in Rob and my room for awhile until the boys had class, and we went up to Missy's room and hung out. It was sooooo fun ^_^. So many girls were in there, and it was just a lot of laughs. Woot!

What else? I bought a new backpack for today! I haven't had a back pack for about two and a half years. I had my bookbag I bought at the Puma store in Germany, but with the book load for Philosophy (7 books!) and German (another 7!) I thought I'd need something more heavy duty. It's a nice red that matches the school colors as well as my coffee machine. YES!

Tomorrow morning is Philosophy, English, and then German. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are going to be sooo similar to last semester. Exactly the same, actually, time-wise. So another 25 minute lunch period >_< . Boo. Oh well, I'll try to figure out a better one next year. Besides, I only have one class on Tuesday and two on Thursday. Mwahaha.

The holidays were decidedly cheery and wonderful. Great Christmas presents, great Birthday presents, and a wonderful New Year. I've already used my new coffee maker--I'm such a coffee lover. It's very snowy here in Ripon, and ohhh so cold. It's going to be 2 degrees on Saturday! AND WINDY. WITH A LOW OF NEGATIVE 4. NOT COOL, WISCONSIN, NOT COOL. IT WAS 63 DEGREES A WEEK AGO!!!!!

I can stay inside all day, right?
