My dorm

After 2 weeks, I finally finished decorating my dorm

My dresser 

Notice how high my bed is?!?! Not fun getting off of it in the middle of the night to pee! ~just saying

My flower and photo collage. I had a collage photo frame, but it was to heavy to hang up even with 

command strips. So I made this instead... 

My awesome London poster I got for like 9 dollars and my ballet calender I got on sale for $3.

First week recap!

I  absolutely LOVE being a college kid!!!!! But I will say it has been a challenge getting back on a school schedule and walking around this huge campus. My poor legs are so sore. My first week of classes went really well!  I am taking 5 classes; Psychology, Statistics, University 101, Jazz technique, and Dance Improvisation. My psychology class is so interesting, I've really enjoyed it so far. The only problem with that class is trying to find the best way, for me, to take notes......but I will figure something out! :)  Statistics is my one and only eight o'clock class (thank goodness) and I actually really like the class. University 101 I really enjoy as well, its a small class so I get to know all my classmates instead of just knowing one or two people in class.  Dance improvisation is the most interesting class I have, but I love it. Like Thursday in class we had to use points of our body (like elbow, knee, chin, toe, ankle, etc.) and spell out our names. Which is really cool because you never really think that you could create a dance just with spelling your name in the air. (but you can! ;) )  I've never taken a dance class like this, but I think in the long run it will make me a better dancer.  The jazz technique class I have not gone to yet...its a class I added later on in the week, and its only a Monday class. So with tomorrow being MLK day, I won't start that class until the 23rd :( 

Thursday my awesome roommate Carla and I along with Carla's boyfriend and his roommate went to a free movie here on campus. We saw Tower Heists which was a really good/funny movie. They also gave us free popcorn and coke, which is always a plus!!!! :D 

First Weekend at USC

So this past week has been pretty exciting. Sunday (Jan. 1st) I came home from a wonderful Christmas trip to Tennessee. I got to stay with my best friend and her family while I was there, and had so much fun. I love them so much and hated leaving. I also got to see and spend a lot of time with my friends, whom I've missed very much. And sorry I didn't take any pictures while I was in Tennessee. :/ Wednesday (Jan 4th) was my freshman orientation at USC. My mama went with me and we learn a lot of stuff about the campus and college. After that, I went and registered for classes and got my student ID. (exciting!!) I was so happy after registering for classes, because I was able to get into a dance class (which was my goal) and that also meant I was an official college kid!! :D woot woot!! Saturday (Jan. 7th) I moved into my dorm! I have an awesome roommate, and I'm so excited to spend this semester with her.  After I got settled, I went out to look for the buildings where my classes would be. At first I went in a huge circle and ended up finding none of them and learned very quickly how big this campus really was. So I went back to my dorm for a little while to look over the map again. The 2nd time I finally found the buildings I was looking for and only got lost once. But the bad thing was I learned that I have to walk up and down a huge steep  hill pretty much very day. (not looking forward to that!) Here is a picture from google maps. note: the hill is even steeper then it looks....trust me! 

Tomorrow I start my classes!! I only have four classes for this semester (as of right now) which is not too bad. But I'm still kind of nervous. Thank goodness though my first class Monday doesn't start until 11:15 (heck yeah, I get to sleep in). But on Tuesdays and Thursdays my first class is at 8:oo am :/ But I can't complain the building for that class is right across from my dorm (and the only one that is near my dorm). So all in all I think its going to be a great semester! :D
