Livin the Dream: First Day of School!

Today was my first day of classes. Its weird being back at school after having 2 and a half months off. And of course, its still downpouring rain.

My day started really early as my first lecture was at 8:00am this morning. Fortunately, living at the Village is really convenient because I only have to walk over a bridge to get to campus. My first class was an Imaging Culture lecture. Being a Journalism major, it seems really interesting because its about images and the ways to analyze and create different ideas from images. I love photography so hopefully this will be a beneficial class. The teacher said we have to start a blog to log our work. That means 2 blogs to maintain. Oh well.

After the 50 minute lecture, I had an hour to kill before the tutorial for the same Imaging Culture course. Collin is in almost all my classes since we have the same major and were on the same track so we walked over to check out the library. Very up-to-date but tiny in comparison to CU's Norlin library. It took us less than 10 minutes to experience all that the library has to offer so we went over to the Koala Cafe near the Student Guild and hung out. I Skyped with my friend Molly who is studying abroad in Barcelona. After an hour, we went down to the tutorial part of class. The first part of the 2-hour tutorial is in a black box studio in the Drama Theatre. We did unique introductory exercises with cameras and mimicked each classmates posture and habits while talking. It was rather bizarre. After an hour in the black box studio, we walked across campus (the rain is relentless) and up to a computer lab where we worked on starting our [new] blogs for the class.

To sum it up, I am SOOOO glad my parents got me that waterproof jacket for Christmas this year. I almost didn't pack it but I am so happy I did because its miserable being wet. Collin, on the other hand, was stuck with a cut-off poncho.....we got some looks.
