My First Week of School

First day: I woke up so early (6am) that I didn't notice that my shirt was on inside out!! until I went to look in the mirror before leaving the apartment. Good thing I didn't go to school like that! lol So my day started out a bit silly but it was a nice day. So far I like my teachers and look forward to the classes, and that's saying A LOT because it's chemistry and math we're talking about here lol I've met a few people in my classes and around campus. Not sure if we'll meet or talk again but having a random conversation or 2 makes the day more interesting.
My chemistry teacher showed us this video at the beginning of the class..

haha I'm thinking of memorizing it and the PokeRap!..next summer though because I have NO time and a limited learning capacity at the moment lol

Second day: I already had a lot of chemistry to do after the first day. Stayed up till 12:30am doing homework..Without Cramster, my chemistry hw would steal all my sleep lol
Highlights of the day- My medical terminology class was fun. We all had to introduce ourselves and tell the class something we didn't think anyone else in the class had done before. It was a good icebreaker except we'd have to keep coming up with stuff if people say that they did do that before. One person tried a few times and finally got away with saying, "I killed a shark" because the teacher felt bad lol I said, "I lived in California all my life and just transferred here." The teacher was like, "WHY HERE?!" lol I get that a lot. Four times today =P It makes me wonder how much more the weather will surprise me here haha Most people here want to go to California because of the nice weather and the beaches. Over here, you never know when a raincoat or umbrella will come in handy.

Third day: Went to bed at 9:30pm Tuesday night and planned to get up at 5:30am. Just when I thought I'd get a full and peaceful sleep, during the early morning hours, it started pouring rain, lightning flashed and the thunder woke me up! lol the noise was loud mainly because the window was open a bit. We're trying to save money by using less A/C and more air from outside. The storm went on for a while. Well that was an interesting start to the day.
The rest of the day was windy. Gotta love windblown hair lol It makes some people look sexy while others end up looking like they lost a battle with a crazy hairdryer and their hair can't seem to stay out of their face..I'm closer to the latter =[ haha
It is so hot this evening!! I went out to the living room and could barely breathe even though all the windows were open lol it was like I walked into a suana or an oven..

Fourth day: Just found out that a really nice counselor who helped me register for my classes before I had even moved to Ohio had her "position extinguished" =( I wanted to actually meet and thank her for all her help but guess not.
Don't let time pass you by. We should do things NOW before it's too late. I'm working on fixing my procrastination issue lol But serioiusly, tell friends and family how much you care and appreciate them and stuff like that. My best friends are awesome. They've withstood the test of time and are patient with me and all my questions. We may not be going to the same school or living in the same state, but they are still always there for me =)

Fifth day: Thank the Lord that it's Friday lol I thank Him for each day, but I will be able to take a short break from all the walking I did throughout the week. Other than that, my weekend will be like my weekdays: lots of chemistry to do and starting assignments for other classes.

Public Transportation

A couple days ago, it had been my first time riding a bus. I'm not sure if the ones that go back and forth between MJC count, but buses that go around the city are much more confusing. You have to get the right routes and catch the right bus, and you also have to pull these cords to signal when you want to be dropped off. Alright, that's probably basic stuff that everyone should have known, but I've never asked or talked with anyone about riding buses and I've never gone out much..obviously lol
Here in Toledo, the bus-line is called TARTA. Bus fare is $1 or 1 token for adults. For people who ride the bus more often, it'd be a good idea to get a bus pass which is $40 a month and you can take the bus as many times as you want during the month.
I had to draw out the routes I'll be taking so I'll know where to stop at and so I wouldn't get lost. I wrote down all the times too =P You can never be too prepared haha Fortunately, I live downtown and the bus stations are close by. All the buses will go back to downtown after their route is completed so all I have to do  is find a sign that says it's a tarta stop and I could catch any bus once I'm done shopping or whatever I took the bus for.
I think I've gotten the hang of riding buses. I just need to give myself plenty of time to get to places on time because sometimes the buses run a little late.

So my first bus trip was to my new school. I almost missed it =P but I made it there without any problems. I bought some things from the bookstore that are required for my classes, and then I walked around trying to find all my classes to make sure I wouldn't get lost the first week. It is a huge school. The buildings are also big and can be confusing. One building even has stairs that can lead to nowhere so I had to make sure I didn't encounter one of those lol I walked around the entire campus which took almost 5 hours before finally finishing my exploring.

I went on my second bus trip yesterday. I needed to go to Michaels for some things. There were many stores along the route I took so I'll probably be taking it again. I got a Cravin' Chicken combo meal at Arby's and called it a day. Overall it was a nice day spent by myself. Interestingly enough, I find that I like eating out alone better than with other people because I can take my time and not worry about choking or something lol
