Ballet, English, Algebra, Japanese.
My first day of college was just excellent.
I woke up early and jumped into some tights and a sweater and ran down to the gym. The gym on campus is hidden behind a lovely art garden with statues and art pieces and hedges. The hallways in this particular building are very small with low ceilings, close walls, and low lights. Making my way briskly to ballet, I wasn't sure what to expect. Ballet, I have decided, is like no other dance class I have ever taken. I actually do worry that I won't be good at it. But it's so interesting and it's so little of my time, I'd love to give it a try. Today we learned the first, second, and third, and sixth positions of ballet. I am ready to give this my very best.
Finding my English class was far more of a challenge than I had expected it to be. But all the while, skipping around campus, I was so excited to get to where I was going, I couldn't have possibly become frustrated with myself. I started off in the right building, thinking I was in the wrong building, then when I left that building, I realized I had no idea where I was on campus. This was delightfully frightening. I ran over to the wrong building, sat down in the wrong class, realized I was in the wrong class, and then went all the way back. All of this took me about 10 minutes, which didn't make me too late to class. We're talking about the freedom of speech this semester, it should be interesting. It was when I was sitting in this class that I did realize the obvious - I haven't been to college in two years - and I have so much to learn again that I have forgotten. English class today definitely proved this to me. At the time it was rather intimidating, but I'm willing to give it my very best and see what happens.
Algebra is in a trailer...
The Humanities building on campus is one of my favorite, and the place where I'll be spending most of my time as a Japanese major. I'll be studying Kanji this semester. I was so excited when my teacher began the class in Japanese. She set down a bunch of papers and whirled away in the language of my soul, I was pleasantly surprised. As I passed through the hallways of the Humanities building, I could feel this excitement rising up in my heart just thinking of the things that these next four years will have to offer me. I am overjoyed to be here, I can't really say much else.
