new school smell

you know that smell, that smell of new school supplies? like new notebooks that haven't been written in, pencils that haven't been sharpened, and erasers that have yet to be used? i love that smell, and that smell to me says the beginning of september like nothing else.

everyone is here for college and i'm not... i'm here for graduate school once again. everyone gets to go to all the fun and boring and annoying sessions that tell you stuff you already know (if you're an upperclassman) and stuff you worry you'll forget (if you're a freshman).

yesterday and the day before however i did sit at registration pretty much all day getting people to sign up for yearbooks, so i got to meet a lot of new people which was fun. i love meeting people. and last night i went to the official college welcome and upperclassman worship thingy with my two roommates. this afternoon and this morning they've been at orientation stuff. i'm taking a break from reading my textbook. unfortunately the library is closed today and i didn't know it would be, or i would be there reading other books for my class which starts on monday. i have a ton of pre-course reading that won't be done. here's hoping for leniency.

i should go and get back to my house and read some more. and maybe make a few phonecalls. i love it that saturdays mean you can make phone calls in the afternoon and not have to pay long distance charges. :)
