Lectures and Exploration

This morning all freshman had to attend a panel discussion about our summer reading of Persepolis.  The main purpose of this seemed to be to remind new students that sometimes, college can be just as boring as high school.  Seriously.  It involved the history of comic books, about which I care less than I do about the life processes of mealworms, and one half an hour lecture as a criticism of the graphic novel.  It was quite eye-glaze worthy, and the kid next to me literally fell asleep.  Oh, the prospects of lectures at 10 a.m!  

One good part, however, is that we all broke up into our seminar classes afterward and I got a little, exciting taste of the class I'm most excited for.  It lived up to my expectations, so far, and I have a different Professor than I originally thought.  But he seems pretty awesome.  I met some new people, and it's pretty awesome how quickly you can bond together in college.  We had lunch together, in terraces, which feels like a restaurant in comparison to Campus Center.  I usually go to campus center, because I am actually way to lazy to walk up one giant hill to get to the Terraces Dining hall.  Really.  

Classes tomorrow! Yay!  Also, I've got rush for IC-TV, which I'll give a good look to, but I can't wait for Thursday's Ithacan rush.  I'm itching to start writing, or do whatever they ask me to.  I'm madly excited.  Tonight, I'm seeing a movie with some people and heading to another picnic.  Really, Ithaca is obsessed with them.  

Really.  Really.
