So I went to Orientation this Monday and Tuesday, spent the night and had a cool roommate (don't worry he's a temp, he was from Colorado, played sports...we obviously didn't have much in common, but he opened up a lot...you'd be surprised when you are just quiet how much people will open up about their lives and family to hear some stuff about you. Of course, that was my plan all along...)and I had a cool group. We Facebooked each other and I hope to keep in contact with them, even when I move into my hall on campus...though one of em lives like a block away from my hall, it'll be cool. I met my permanent roommate on Facebook, he's pretty cool, he's from Wisconsin, which is not that far from Illinois. Farming community though, so I'll get used to it.

Doing this whole college thing is like flying a plane, there's a right time to land and settle your business and take off. I've learned that more than anything. I scheduled my classes and chose my major(s) already: though it can be subject to change at ANYTIME, I have my eyes set on double majoring in English (that will probably change to Classics, which focuses on like Humanities and Greek Mythology and stuff) and Music with an emphasis on Piano. My classes are as followed :

Mon, Wed, Fri: Univ 101 (which is a stupid class about how we can take advantage of Loyola, every freshie has to take it, so I minus well deal)

College Writing Seminar (Every freshie has to take this too, it's supposed to improve writing skills, and what not. I wanted to take Intro to Poetry...but this class was in my way, I don't wanna sound stubborn and arrogant, though I already do, I shouldn't have to take this class...I know how to write, I'm a writer )

Theology: Morals (About Morality, I got that out that way, so let's see how it goes)

Psych 101 (Fulfills a science requirement, and I wanna learn more!)

Tues and Thurs:

Music Theory 144 (Awesome. I remember most theory stuff, but I'll study a bit more over the summer.)

Music Theory 145

Medieval Studies (An English thing, hope it goes well)

While there at Orientation, I met some very nice people in the Music Department who said they would be happy to get me a job there: I'll probably be a piano tuner, which is fine with me...I should learn and it's money. I also got to play a 200 year old harpsichord, though I shouldn't be telling anyone this. I don't care, it was awesome. I felt powerful

So yeah, waiting to officially land, see you guys when I get back down to earth. Another tour to start, I suppose.
