Busy busy busy~
Last week was very busy for me, so I apologize for not writing.
My roommate actually didn't get here until the very last minute, and by that time I'd gotten so impatient and hungry while waiting for her that I left to grab some dinner on the other campus.
When I got back, she and her family had gotten here and they were unpacking their stuff. They didn't need me to help them unpack her stuff, but we had a chance to talk a bit and they seem like cool people. Her father is actually a Stephen King fan, and I thought that was really cool.
My roommate is also really cool. She's very outgoing and friendly, and I was surprised to find out that she actually likes anime, too. She does party a bit, but I don't think we'll have any problems. Actually, to be completely honest, I do want to go out and party a bit, though I think my definition of the word "party" is different from most college students' definitions. I know that most parties involve just staying out late and getting drunk with friends, but I just want to go out sometime, not necessarily to drink but to have fun.
My classes so far don't seem like they're going to be difficult, though I had homework in them all during the first days. I still haven't gotten around to starting my figure drawing for my fashion project class, but I don't have that class until Friday so I will definitely have time during the week to do it. I'm a little concerned about the drawing class because my professor wants me to work in HB pencil, which allows me almost no decent tone variation. :\ My first homework assignment in that class was a still life which will be due tomorrow, and I'm hoping like hell that mine won't look awful compared to the other ones.
I also had a lot of fun going to the events during Welcome Week, which is the first week of classes after move-in where a lot of the different departments and organizations around campus host a number of helpful discussion lectures and social events. I don't exactly have time to write about them in detail right now because it's about time for me to leave, but hopefully I'll get back to those later.
