almost a whole week gone!

Surprisingly enough, looking back, time is moving rather quickly. I'm done with my first week of classes, and apart from a slight hiccup in online banking, i'm pretty much settled in here. I took some pictures, and they're on my facebook.
The work load is not so bad so far, and I only have one final to dread, the rest of my tests and papers are happening during the actual semester, which ends some time around the end of november.
The people here are all just fantastic. everyone is very friendly and helpful, despite my constant questions and problems, they all put up with me. My flatmates are all very nice, and accept my odd sleeping schedule. well they don't say anything about it anyway. I've pretty much settled into a routine, which is a good thing for me. the weather has been swell, and apparently very nice for the area this time of the year. All classes take place in one of two buildings, but they are very confusing! Cottrell is separated into three main sections, A,B, and Y. then there are bridges connecting the separate parts of the building, bridges V, W, X, Y and Z. nuts. Pathfoot makes slightly more sense, there is one main hallway, and then corridors A,B,C,D etc branch off from the main bit. each letter is a different department.
Then there's the student center, but that makes slightly more sense.
There are handicap buttons for most doors in the main buildings, and everyone uses them. I rarely see someone opening a door themselves if there is an easier way to get through. it's pretty funny. i feel silly whenever i use them. but everyone else is doing it....
so this first weekend i think i'm just going to hang back, but I plan to do traveling and what not, soon as i can figure out just how much money i have for that... till then town will do just fine!
or campus... ok so ive holed myself up a little bit. baby steps!
