is this three?

if you are in the South Bend area this evening (8) or tomorrow afternoon (2), go see "Twelfth Night" at Notre Dame.
it is AMAZING!!!!
seven Equity actors, most of the cast members have or are pursuing degrees in acting.
wonderful singing, beautiful set.
the only issue I had was the extent to which they emphasized the innuendo.
I understand that Shakespeare's writing is full of it, but I'm not such a big fan.
other than that, it was a fantastic show.

now I'm back in the room with Jamie and Kaleb.
(it's open dorms in Tuckey tonight.)
James is doing her Hebrew homework and Kaleb is reading a psych book.
I'm supplying the tunes. (OWL CITY!!!!)

no plans tonight.

that's what I've got.

yes, more later.

I made Women's Chorale.
Jamie did, too.

initially, I was disappointed.
but I know that God works all things out for the good of those who love Him.
and I get done at 12 on Fridays.
so, I'm pretty much okay with it now.

now I need to do something productive.

karaoke and curfews.

before I begin, here's a quick lesson in Bethel dorm policy:
open dorm hours end at midnight.
you must be in your dorm (not room) at 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.

I managed to push both of those rules last night.

I was watching "Superman Returns" in a guy's room in Manges last night.
I pretty much had to run downstairs to be out by 12.
stupid third floor.

we were doing karaoke in the Sailor kitchen and I ran upstairs at 1:59.
stupid third floor.

I'm not a big fan of breaking the rules.
and I don't want to start the year with a flawed record.

but the karaoke party was great fun.
even though I didn't know most of the songs.

and I'm going to have to finish "Superman" sometime.
before midnight.

more later?

day one.

well, my first class is over and I'm sitting in the Great Room.
this morning was just Block. we discussed the book and went over the syllabus.

went to lunch at Sufficient Grounds.
went to check the choir list.
not posted until 5. not so thrilled about that.

so I'm just hanging out until almost 6.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be wonderful.

still don't have my Spanish book.
that's not so awesome.

I guess I don't have much to say this afternoon.

Prob&Stats tonight at 6.

oh, yeah. our suitemates tried to bunk their beds without the pegs.
the top one fell. they screamed.
we helped them get it fixed.

and, that's all.

more later?

Chicago and major meetings.

yesterday we all went to Chicago.
we rode in buses with our blocks and did something like Speed Dating on the way there.
it was a fairly efficient way to get to know half of the people we'll be spending the most time with this semester.
but there were so many people we didn't get to talk to.
so, it will take effort.

Jamie, Kaleb, and I spent the afternoon wandering around the city, never straying too far from Michigan Ave.
we went up in Chicago Place. it's so great in there.
almost totally deserted but the view is amazing.
ate at Gino's East. tried to find where I had written during Spring Break but couldn't.
had the same waitress, though.

I took lots of pictures. I am loving my new camera.

we had a great time on the way back to campus.
waking Evan up with the plume of Zany Zac's gladiator helmet.
almost waking Evan up with some of the whipped cream from Faith's cheesecake, and then watching Evan put Zac into a headlock.
playing silent "Bunny Bunny."
good times.

hall meetings last night.
then some Catch Phrase.

today I skipped breakfast (and had an apple and peanut butter in the room.) and was about a minute late for chapel.

we had an academic major meeting after chapel.
ours was "Language and Literature." including English, Communication, Spanish.
it focused mostly on Comm, so I didn't pay too much attention.

now I'm not going to lunch.
I haven't been hungry much this week.

we have a presentation by a student panel about Academic Tips for Success and a video in about half an hour.
then another block meeting.
dinner and free time tonight.

it's been a good couple of days but I'm ready to get into a routine.

later, folks.

freshman again.

well. today started a starting over process.
I woke up at 8:30 to Kevin Brown's voice saying "wakey wakey workcampers!" on my phone.
(it's a Reach thing.)
we finished loading up the van and were on the road around 9:30.
got to campus around 11:45 and were in the room by noon.
moved everything up in one load and started unpacking.
my clothes more than fill my dresser and most of my stuff is under my bed.
my desk is not organized. our outlets are rather confusing.
but our Christmas tree looks great, internet works, and I've already used the microwave and coffee maker.
also, we had Famous Dave's for lunch. Famous Dave's makes everything better.

met with our FYE blocks this evening.
I think it's going to be great.
our profs are hilarious, Brother Tim promised a marriage out of FYE3 (there have been 21 in 15 years. also, 15 FYE3 children.), we're all getting along well.
I am loving college.

said good-bye to our parents. it was emotional but not really sad.
I'll probably be home Labor Day weekend, I'm only about 2 hours away, I've been gone before.
but it's a moving on period.
it's strange for them.
Andrew is moving into an apartment tomorrow (today.), I'm moved out, the house is pretty much empty.

we got the rules speech.
and then we had ice cream.
and Jamie and I decided to just come back to the room.
we could be out until 2. we could have guys over.
but it's been a long day.
so, I finished my leftovers from lunch.
I made coffee.
I took a shower.
and I sat down to write this post.

so, I'm at college now.
and I'll try to post at least once a week.
like I'm going to have lots of readers?

good night.
