Well, I'm at Western now. My mom, Maddie, and I drove up on Saturday, a day before move-in, because I had to be on campus at 9 AM and we didn't want to have to get up at 5 AM to get here on time. So we spent the night in a hotel and then moved me in the next morning. It didn't take too long to move my stuff in at all. Unpacking took awhile though, because the outlet for the cable plug and ethernet is set up kind of awkwardly so it took awhile to arrange everything. But I was all unpacked and moved in by 5 PM. My roommate, Emily, is really nice. She's on the WWU volleyball team and got a scholarship for it, which is awesome. I'll probably be going to her games. She has one tomorrow that I might go to. Anyway, our room is really cute, and it's set up well. It's nice to have cable so I don't have to miss my shows, and I really like having a desk. I always wanted one back at my house. And I have my own printer now. :) Another cool thing is that James lives in this residence hall too, two floors up. It's convenient for when we want to see each other. The food here is pretty good too.
I started class on Wednesday. I have three - French, Math, and International Relations. International Relations is definitely going to be the toughest. I'm hoping to get more into it once the ball gets rolling more, right now it's kind of dry to me. The professor seems pretty fierce. Also, we have to subscribe to the NY Times and read it everyday so we can discuss current events, which I do not like. I find the newspaper boring, so I didn't relish getting to pay $20 to read it everyday. Anyway, French and Math are pretty fun. It's nice to be able to take math and actually understand it. The teaching is much better here. My french professor's first language is french, so that's pretty cool too. I'm surprised by how much french I remember from high school - I should've signed up to be in a higher level. But oh well! It's nice to only have three classes.
However, it's nice to have the weekend here. I'm done with all my weekend homework - it only took a few hours, so that was nice, and now I have the whole weekend free. Everything's been a blur so far because I've been busy, but so far Bellingham/Western are pretty cool.
