Everything is coming up Michelle! Well, almost everything...
So I figured I would start actually posting on my blog... There are some college horror stories that I've heard but never thought would happen to me. It's official now: two of them happened to me the first month at ISU. The first was getting locked out of my room while in the shower with no clothes and dripping wet hair- on a coed floor. The second is falling out of my bunkbed in my sleep (although this has been a fear of mine since I toss and turn while sound asleep). It really did not hurt as bad as I thought it would; I just have a huge bruise on my leg and my back hurt for a while, but my back hurting is nothing new.
I was thinking of getting an appartment for next year. It just so happens that a girl from my Discrete Math class, who went to Lincoln-Way, also wants a roommate for an appartment. Pretty good timing, right? I was talking to her for a while tonight, and it seems like rooming with her would really work out. This makes me really happy!! It would save money on room and board, and I would be much less likely to get into trouble, not having an RA and all. The only downside is that I may end up living here over the summer and not seeing my family and friends back home much. I would probably get a job down here. I don't think it would be too hard to find a job with all the college students home for the summer. We'll see how things work out. I might even get to have my turtle here with me!!
In other news, I do actually have the key for Alex's room now! It's a little weird for me since I have never felt like I lived with a boyfriend before. On weekends I basically live there, even shower there. Now having a key to his place really seals the deal. Things are going quite well between us. It never seems like we run out of things to talk about. Alex is never mean to me, and I cannot see him ever hurting me. He even got worried this weekend because of a bad dream he had about me. He went home on Saturday, and that night he had a dream that I died in a car explosion. When he woke up he called me several times, but I was sleeping. He ended up calling me five times before I finally picked up. He said that he woke up sweating and almost on the verge of tears. What a sweetie.
Classes are going quite well. I have gotten all good grades so far, except the logic test, which was an 86%. I guess that isn't so bad, but I expected better. Well, I can always improve it. I am getting about 150% in Calculus III, I guess I can't get much better than that! Also, so far in Discrete Math I have a 100%. This is not including the test I took last Thursday, but I have not found out what I got on that yet. All A's so far in English as well (we don't get actual percents on the advisory grades of papers). I have been staying on top of my homework so far. I went to Discrete yesterday and had forgotten my folder which had an assignment in it. Luckily for me, I had also written the answer to the assignment in my notebook and just tore that off and turned it in.
I miss Bradley, but I can always go down and visit my friends (and I do!). I also have pictures of Bradley buds, friends and family from home, and even my french buddies! So whenever I miss them I can still look at pictures of them. I am excited to come home this weekend. I have started telling everyone, and they're all so excited to see me too! I really want to get my hair dyed this weekend; it hasn't been dyed since mid-May. My blonde roots are starting to show... a lot. I also think that I may get my tattoos extended upon. I have been thinking about one idea for a long time and decided that I do actually want it. I have several rules about getting tattoos: I have to go to my place, nowhere else and must actually want the tattoo for the minimum of 6 months before it gets put on there forever. I think it's been about a year, maybe it's safe now.

You and Dave can commiserate about the wonderful world of logic. He just had a test, but I don't think he knows his score yet.
Glad to hear that things are going well for you at ISU (finally), except for the locking out of the room bit. I don't think I ever fell out of the loft; I only fell out of my bunk bed that one time as a kid, when I bit a chunk out of my cheek.
At least you know you won't get locked out by Alex, even if you do get locked out by your roommate. :o)
I would hope that Alex is not mean to you, or hurt you, or anyone else for that matter. That's scary when you have dreams like that.
Also glad that things are going well at ISU, and it sounds like you are all over what you need to be doing. Go Chelle!
Love Mom
