Day 6: September 5, 2009, Saturday

Study day!  My roommate left for the weekend, so now I have all the time in the world to study!  Oh boy!  I cannot wait!  I just hope I do not procrastinate.  I do not have many actual assignments, but I have chapters assigned for each of my classes for the following week, that I am probably going to need to read if I expect to keep up with my professors.  Better get cracking!

Day 5: September 4, 2009, Friday

Studying abroad is very good opportunity that I would like to explore more.  Today I went looking for the study abroad office.  I left Richmond Hall, where I live, on one side of campus, and walked to the University Union, on the other side of campus.  I went inside and ask the receptionist where the study abroad office is located.  She informed me that she believed it was right down the hallway, but checked on the computer anyway.  She found out it was actually in the Administrative Building, which is right by my dorm.  I walked all the way back to the other side of campus and found what I was looking for.  Next time I need to plan ahead better.

Day 4: September 3, 2009, Thursday

Today I did not do much again.  As I was walking around the campus, I took a photograph of Stephens Hall.  That is where I have been spending most of my time in classes.  It is one of the oldest buildings on campus, but inside, it does not look like it.  All the classrooms have projectors and it is very advanced.  I was not sure about taking my classes here, just by the way it looks, but it turned out to be a very good experience.  Also, my classes are very small, as compared to some taught in the Lecture Hall or other areas on campus.  I am very happy to have classes in this building.

Day 3: September 2, 2009, Wednesday

Today was a quiet day.  I went to some classes for a second time, which which was interesting.  In high school I had not experienced a schedule where my classes are alternated each day.  I spent most of my time trying to get over the fact that I was supposed to have read two chapters of my text books for each class already and attempted to catch up.  I did not want to waste too much time at the dining hall, so my roommate and I ate a quiet dinner, that we brought back from the Newell Den.  Everything there is so expensive compared to the Dining Hall!  I think I might have used 2 meals for half of what I would get at the dining hall!  It was good though.  Sbarro.

Day 2: September 1, 2009, Tuesday

Today was a pretty exciting day.  I went to the Center for the Arts to try out for the Towson Men's Chamber Singers.  I was nervous, because I am not a music major, let alone a vocal major.  I had trouble finding the room at first, because it was only the second time I had been in the building and I did not know my way around.  I went to the second floor and after searching for a few minutes, I finally found the choir room.  It was very large and brought back memories of my high school choir.  I enjoyed that experience immensely and hoped to create new memories like those in college.  However, my dreams were about to be dashed!  I found that I had to be able to keep up with almost all music majors!  And besides that, most of them were vocal specialties!  Well I still tried out, but I was just not knowledgeable enough to learn the music fast enough.  Though I could not join the Chamber Singers this semester, I may choose to audition again in a few months, after I spend sometime in the Choral Society, which does not require an audition.   I will be able to explore my musical talents, without the pressure of being in a group where I might not be able to keep up.  I am looking forward to being a part of it!

Day 1: August 31, 2009, Monday

This is the first day of my experiment, "Project 365," for Engl 190-001 "Honors Writing Seminar." Not many exciting events occurred today. I went to class and came home. However after I came home, I realized that I wanted some new notebooks and binders for my classes, because I did not buy them yet. I walked all the way across campus the University Union and the school store. This takes about 10 minutes from my dorm room at Richmond Hall. As I was pursuing through the many different colored notebooks and other school supplies, I realized I should wait before I buy anything and see what I needed for my other class, Accounting, that I had not taken yet. I was wandering around the store, when I spotted a grocery area. I realized I needed peanut butter because I had ran out the night before. It turned out to be a really good after dinner snack. As I was waiting in line, I spotted a pack of twenty-four 16.9 oz. water bottles. I came to the conclusion that water was always a good thing to have in a dorm room, especially if my only alternative was the bathroom sink. As I was making this decision, I did not take into account the journey back to Richmond. It was a grueling journey; especially because I am not in shape. When I finally got back to my room, I drank two of the bottles I had just purchased. That was the most exciting experience of the day.
