Fourth week of college! 9/14/12

This has been the busiest week of college by far. Had my first couple of tests but did really well on them. It's different not being able to just go online and look at what my current grade is....I have to go talk to the professor and so far none of them have really posted or graded anything....so I'm sitting here not knowing how I have been doing other than a test grade here and there. But I feel like the grades are definitely doing well.

Weather this week was absolutely gorgeous. Yesterday the high was 68 and today was only about 73. I actually had to put a jacket on to get to classes yesterday morning! Feels weird already having to pull out "cooler" weather clothing. Reminded me of Christmas and got me excited for actual winter time.

Unfortunately I'm still not done with my flying....just waiting for an instructor to fly with so I can take my "Stage Check" and be done for the semester. Hopefully by this next week for sure but who knows. 

This week was Rush Week as well. I have been checking out numerous houses over the past week and have narrowed it down to only a few. I didn't know it was going to be such a tough decision on which one to choose (pending a bid from one of the houses of course) but I feel like I know where I want to belong. Next week's post will give all the fun information about where I joined and all of that. :)

I guess over the past three weeks I haven't really talked about the type of people around here either....so here it goes.  Mostly everyone is friendly when you go around town. No one is in a hurry to get anywhere and traffic is very minimal. The only time, for what I have seen, when people get angry is when you have the ONE person trying to drive around people and get somewhere in a hurry and just start pissing everyone else off. But other than that it is rather peaceful. 

The lack of diversity is VERY different as well. It's strange being in a class with mostly white people. I mean there definitely are a good amount of Hispanics, Asians, etc. but nothing like the amount of white people you see everywhere. 

Like I have said before, it will be hard to not start speaking like a North Dakotan. Hopefully I don't sound too bad yet but let me know. :) (below)

Other than that, another great week and look forward to many more. I COME HOME IN TWO WEEKS!!!

    the frat sounds like fun, can't wait to hear who you've chosen to be a victim with, i mean, who you've chosen to join...lol!

    the weather sounds right up your alley. you're finally in a place where it isn't the same temp all year long.

    i can def relate to the diversity thing. its the same here in east texas, a little strange, but you get used to it i guess. no bueno on the mexican food here though. what's it like there?

    you know paul was happy to hear about you being interested in bow hunting. he's been hunting hogs here, shot 6 last weekend...yay!

    anyway, just wanted to see if this comment thing works and to say hello.

    big hugs to ya in north dakota!
