First Day of Classes

This post will have to be short, I'm afraid, because it's past my bedtime. My classes started at 9:05 this morning--or rather I thought they did, but it turned out my piano class wasn't supposed to be until next week. So my first real class was Old Testament; right after that was Ancient and Medieval Cultures; after lunch was Photography; and in the evening was concert choir. None of the classes had real work today, it was all introductions and handing out papers and going over syllabi. But I think concert choir is going to be the hardest as far as time commitment. Their rehearsals and performances may cut into a lot of my classes. And I can already tell that my Old Testament professor assigns more homework than his wife, the Humanities professor.

After choir the school had a scavenger hunt. We divided up into teams by our mentor groupings and raced all over campus finding different clues and fulfilling the requirements (like playing leap-frog or dressing up and pretending to be in a music video). We raced to be the first team to make it to the prize (an Applebees gift card, I think) at the drive-in theater about thirty minutes drive away. There was some confusion about who won, but our team was awarded the prize. After that most of the freshmen went to the drive-in and saw The Dark Knight, while I went to Wal-Mart and got some much-needed dinner and three-ring binders for my papers. And I've spent the rest of the evening organizing and scheduling and writing and doing a little homework (now there's a concept for a homeschooler).
