One Week Down

I've officially have been at college for a week now. But the thing is, it feels like I have been here for way longer than just a week. Not in the sense that the time is passing so slowly, but more along the lines of I feel so well adjusted, and we just jumped right into classes. I guess you could say that would be a good thing.

While living in Ohio for the next few months I will have to opportunity to eat food that's really only available in the Columbus/Ohio area. I'm rather excited about this because I was getting quite sick of eating pretty much only chain food back in Crystal Lake. Last night I ate Cane's for the first time. It was the most delicious chicken finger I've ever eaten. And the toast? I didn't even know toast could be that good. This place seriously only sells chicken fingers and has only four options on the menu, and they're a booming business. Who knew! I've also gotten a chance to eat at PJ's. Let me tell you that this place has some high quality subs. I decided to order the Fat Juggernaut. And do you know what is on the Fat Juggernaut? No? Let me tell you. Chicken fingers, hush puppies, banana peppers, curly fries, bbq & ranch sauce. I feel disgusting thinking about it. But I'm also pretty excited that I can get sushi for only a swipe with my meal plan! Plus the sushi is legit good.

So of course I would write a GIANT paragraph about food. Little has changed. And yes that paragraph makes me sounds like a fat ass but I am eating healthy! I swear! But that's besides the point. This past weekend officially wrapped up Welcome Week, and Weezer capped off the week with a free concert on the South Oval. Holy crap. That was one of the best shows I have ever seen! Weezer is such an AMAZING band live, and the only song that was iffy was their newest one, Memories. They opened with Hash Pipe and finished off the encore with Buddy Holly. Towards the end of the show Weezer did an awesome cover of Kids which turned into mash-up of Poker Face (Weezer made Lady Gaga sound good!). One of the best songs of the concert! Plus Rivers Cuomo (who possibly had the best quote of the night: "O-HI-O MUTHAFUCKAS!" and yes it's okay to say this stuff now cause we're all in college, right?) crowd surfed from a point in the crowd to the stage and he went right over my little group. So what I'm trying to say is that I touched Rivers. I might have potentially accosted him due to the face that he crowd surfed face down, which lead to someone taking his glasses.

So yeah, we were pretty close and being that close leads to crowd surfers being dropped on you. Luckily it wasn't as bad as Flogging Molly, but I did have a few people dropped on me and I got kicked a few times. All is well.

And being in college means free stuff!

(two more pairs of free sunglasses!)

And giant books!

(but luckily this will last me a few chem classes)

And twinkies!

Classes are going swimmingly (and thank you Mrs. Brockland for preparing me so well for college labs. Without all the labs in AP Chem I would be screwed for my labs!). My math professor is from either the UK or Australia (we are literally having this debate in recitation because no one knows) and his last name is Leary. Do you think he would mind if I called him O'Leary? But all my professors speak English as their first language so I can pretty much understand what they are saying. Oh, and I like my engineering class which is probably a good thing since I'm an engineering major.

And Saturday was the first football game with the students back (and my second one in my life... 5th grade was my first OSU game) and I was one of the few lucky freshman get Block O tickets (BO North to be exact). I wont go into too much detail about the game but I will say I am still in shock that Tressel let us run up the score. That has NEVER happen in the Tressel era. Oh, and Block O North's favorite player. Oh and I legit got sunburned on Saturday. I have sunglass burn lines on the right side of my face. Awesome.

That's all for now!
