"So be true to your school now..."

Ahem. As some of you readers (if we have any readers left after all our slacking...) may have noticed, we haven't done a whole lot of updating our blog. Usually I give the "this is what I learned outside of college" point of view while Melinda gives hers, but lately...well...I haven't been learning much, and Melinda already knows everything. So it's been rough. I guess this is going to take a little turn now that I'm in school, so to start of with, this is what I learned on my first day:

• People here are still desperately bringing back the 80's. Just stop. For all of us.
• Never think that slightly turning your body to the side is enough to stop your chatty neighbor. You are going to have to stand up and cross the classroom and sit over there before they might start to wonder if you didn't wanna be their new BFF.
• No matter how tall you are, someone taller is bound to sit right in front of you. Where you can't see anything. And then obnoxiously shift from side to side as you do to see around them.
  
• Pop tart lunch box holders are one of the best inventions ever.
  
• Don't wear shoes that you think are cute if they aren't practical...(someone came into my class late and limping and dragging her broken shoe on the floor behind her.)
• Never try and even go into the bookstore on the first day. If you make it out alive it wont be til hours and hours later.
  
• They don't ticket you for not having a parking permit on the first day.

So many life lessons. I know I learned. I only hope tomorrow is just as inspiring.
