Good Times

Yeah. So, I think I just had the best week of my entire life thus far. In spite of not having a job yet and still looking for a different place to live, my week was great. The first and most obvious thing is that I'm in college. This is an awesome fact seeing as no one in my family has gone before.

Secondly, ALL of my professors and TAs are freaking awesome. The TAs came to the class prepared and knew what they were talking about. And they all speak English well enough to be able to answer any questions.
My chemistry professor seems to be a bit on the loony side. She likes to stop in the middle of lecture to tell a few jokes. Some of them are funny, the rest are just horrible. It keeps the atmosphere light though so it's a good thing.
My math prof is the same one I had last semester so that's cool. He is a good one and I know what to expect in his teaching. This will make things much easier for me throughout the semester.
Physics is... umm... well, I don't really know what to think of the class yet. Our professor is in Antarctica right now so we have the head physics guy doing the lectures. It's pretty cool. No pun intended. Seriously.
I would say third thing but it's really along the lines of everything else here. I have been here for a year now. This is my third semester. Thursday was the first time I met someone with the same major through the same school. Out of 38000+ students you would think that would have happened sooner. It's great.
My Spanish 202 instructor is pretty cool. She's from Serbia and if she weren't my teacher I would definitely have asked her out. That was my first class on Monday. What a way to start the week. And that leads me to "great thing number three".

Third thing going well. The class I signed up for and was dreading, Spanish 212, turns out to be the easiest class I will ever take. It's a conversation class that meets once a week for 50 minutes of talking in Spanish. That's it. No homework but one discussion we have to lead, no exams, grade based on participation and attendance. No actual grades. Life is good. No, wait, God is good.

Fourth and lastly, I have been meeting a lot of new people, interesting people, people I care to talk to. Some in engineering, physics, and biochemistry. But the most interesting and eventful meeting came about on Monday night at the bus depot. So, I had my bike with me but I couldn't ride it home because I had groceries so I had to take the buses. I got there in time to catch the second to last bus that goes toward my apartment and what did I find but that the bike rack they have was already full. I had to wait for the next one... and thankfully so.
I met a beautiful woman Monday night. She sat down near me and started the conversation. She too had missed and was waiting for the same bus. So we talked for about 30-40 minutes as we waited for the bus and rode home. (She lives a little farther than myself.) She's from Texas and is getting ready to go into the Vet school here at Purdue. So I asked her out and she actually said yes. That kind of messed me up for a while. In the past things have not gone that way and I didn't expect it to. Definitely caught me off guard. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck on our date Friday night. But we had fun and I have her number now. Maybe I'll detail that some other day. I must be off.

I hope every one's life will be as wonderful as mine is now or better. I don't mean to gloat, I am just enjoying this change of events. If only you knew what I have been through (well, one person who reads this does).

Wishing wellness to all.
