Signing up for spring classes-already?
October 26, 2005
It is the middle of the semester right now and most people are going through midterms, but surprisingly I don't have any! I couldn't believe it! I have a lot of tests of course, but no actual midterms that test you on what you have learned so far the whole half of the semester! So I was very excited about that. And then the other big part of being half way done with the first semester, is registering for second semester spring classes! I feel like I just got here and am just getting used to my classes and already I have to sign up for my new ones! It is also weird to think about having all new classes next semester because in high school I had pretty much the same classes all year round and now I have no classes that stay the same! But then at least you don't get bored with the class, which is what happened in high school. So I think I will like having new classes. But then you also have to buy all new books which is sometimes stressful, but the good thing is that you can sell all your old books back to the bookstore for half price (even if you bought them somewhere else!). And that will help pay for the new ones. So I found out what day and time I am able to start registering for classes so I'm meeting with my advisor to talk about everything and go over some times for the different classes first, so that when it comes time to register (which is only like a week away!) I am all ready to just type everything into the computer and hopefully get the classes I want! So it is very exciting but also kind of nerve racking at the same time.
Well last Friday I finally went out clubbing (to a dance club) in Boston! I have been wanting to ever since I got here in September, but the club scene is very different from Minneapolis! In Minneapolis there are tons of 18+ clubs that are cheap and easy to go to, but here in the big city of Boston, a lot of the clubs are 19+, which I find a very weird number. Maybe they are trying to keep out the high school kids, but still a random number if you ask me! So a lot of the clubs around Simmons, or the ones we wanted to go to are 19+, and then the ones that are 18+ are really expensive. But finally on Friday I gave in and paid the $15 (and that was with a $5 off coupon!) to go dancing. But it was definitely worth it. I had a lot of fun and they played pretty good music. The club wasn't that different from the ones that I used to go to at home though, so I was kind of surprised at that. But one cool thing that they had that they definitely don't have in Minneapolis, is guys that dance on speakers with their shirts off! That was interesting! Fun to see though cause they weren't too bad looking and they could dance pretty well! And then the other cool thing that was different from the other clubs I have been to was that they had free airbrush tattoos! How cool is that! So my friends and I all got them. And I even uploaded a picture of mine so that you guys can see it! It is a fairy on my shoulder!! I was very excited about that.
And this weekend is Halloween weekend and I really want to find a costume to wear, but I don't want to spend a lot of money, so I'm trying to find some good thrift stores around Boston where I could possibly find something to make a costume out of. I have found a lot of used clothing stores which are really neat, but nothing has caught my eye for my costume yet. And I only have a few more days to find one! Plus it is so cold out, especially at night, so that limits my choices! Hopefully I will find one soon so I don't have to worry about it this weekend, but who knows!
Also, I'm hoping the weather gets a little better, today wasn't so bad, a bit chilly, but nothing compared to yesterday where we got horrible horrible rain and wind from the hurricane! Apparently they call that a "Nor'easter" here, and being from Minnesota, I have never heard of such a thing, nor experienced any hurricane effects! So that was interesting, not fun to have to walk to class in, but at least I had a rain coat! Well I must go now, a bunch of girls are coming over to watch "America's Next Top Model" again! And then after that we have the first "Morse Hall Tea", which I'm not exactly sure about, they advertised it as pumpkin painting and tea so we'll see what that's like! Until the next time...Happy Halloween! -Hannah :)
