College Visits Part Four: Lewis and Clark Actual

So I’ve wandered around campus, sat in on a class, took my tour, and gone to the room of the girl I’m staying with. So far I am really liking campus. The professor was a newbie but what he had to say about discussion and the things he has discovered about the way classes generally flow here really really appeals to me. It sounds like discussions etc. Are just how I like them. Student driven and open ended, not so politicized.

The person I am staying with I found on facebook and she’s nice but... She’s an RA on the sub-free floor, if that tells you anything. She’s just very... Idk how to explain it. Like the kind of girl who would be an RA on a sub-free floor. Like the kind of girl who wears the hiking boot tennis shoes and says things like “celebrate my yoga mats”. And none of that is wrong it’s just, very much descriptive for me about what she is like. But she is very chill about everything too, she tried to get me my own key for the door (fail but... She tried) and she was like you can go and come whenever you want, my door is unlocked all the time,and while this is a sub-free dorm... Just don’t come back totally drunk and obvious about it, and if you are spending the night elsewhere, just give me a text so I don’t worry.
Anyways so this is the next day. I saw T2 last night, he goes here, and no awkwardness which was nice... Unfortunately he was still very dapper and sweet and funny and I gave him like twelve hugs... Ha Anyways. Just sort of hanging out on campus. In one of the like cafe areas. I may go sit in on a class later. Actually my host told me that it was mandatory to visit her indian philosophy class if I was staying with her so... I guess I WILL be going to that one... Anyways this is such a cool place to just people watch. And this is for my betsy... The boys here where plaid like 24/7 its incredible... I don’t know how I’m functioning to my left there are 3 boys in plaid and two to my right. It’s ridiculous. And they are all really attractive. Although honestly it could just be that I know they are really intelligent to be here you know? Like I just know if I went up and talked to any of them I could have a really good intense conversation with them. That plus the plaid and... Well I’m sold.
So last night as I was falling asleep I sort of had a panic attack of... What if I’m not hippie or cool enough. I mean hear I am wandering around campus in a white sweater and red heels and pearls and red lipstick. That is SO not lewis and clark style. But whatever. As betsy mentioned, it won’t be long until I’m wandering around in my standard robot man pants oversized sweatshirts and not going to class so... Who cares. Ha this group to my left is talking and I keep catching snippets of it “Mr. Miyagi from the karate kid” and “Humphrey Bogart was really intriguing” and I really want to know if they are studying for a class or just discussing movies. And how those two came up together in that discussion. Anyways my computer is dying so I think I’m going to go wander back to her room the long way and hope that someone will let me in the building. Still have only ran into two people I know here. So perhaps I will run into more later today. Anyways. Have a lovely lovely day everyone.
