Update

Ok.... So I haven't written in a while.
I'm not too sad though. I don't think I have ever done all of my homework until now. I hope I can keep it up for the next 8 weeks. The most amazing part (at least to me) is that most of those homeworks are not being collected or graded. It was very hard to do some of them, since I had no idea how to do the math, it was frustrating. I started only doing a little homework each day and it ended up working. I have also been watching movies and random things like that.

All of the classes are still going well. On Monday, I spent three hours in the pool with the kayaking class. We are going to the river in two weeks, so this pool thing was like a quick introduction. Unfortunately, I'm still in pain from that.

This week I have more work to do than last week, and as usual, I'm not doing it. I don't know how I end up finishing it, I guess it just works somehow. On Friday I need to go get my car photographed somewhere so that the insurance company will insure it. I called the place they told me, and they don't work on weekends, so Friday seems like the best option.

I can't think of anything else to write. I know more things happened last week, but oh well.

First Days of School

Yesterday (Monday) was not too bad. I started by going to Physics class at 8am. I then got back to the apartment to figure out what I had or didn't have. I went to WalMart to buy some food and other things, then to OfficeMax to buy some more stuff. I tried to hurry because I thought I had my kayaking class at 4pm. I showed up a few minutes early, no one was there. After a while, I decided to check online to see if there had been any notes about the class posted after I last checked. There were. The class doesn't start until September 21st...
I then went to my Russian class, which is great, because there are only four students! I think that's one of the best class sizes for a language class.

Today I had Engineering Math at 10am. The professor seems pretty cool. The only problem was that the book we all bought is not the one we will be using, so I went and returned it at the bookstore. I also had Programming for Engineers. The professor there is in charge of all the robotics and stuff in the Electrical Engineering department, which is what I want to do, so I thought that was awesome.
After that was Complex Variables, which is yet another math class. I'm told the professor is from Hungary, which explains his accent, but he is a great teacher. I think the different accents help me stay focused, instead of listening to the same monotonous ones some professors have. Finally, I had Russian again. Now I think I will go to bed, I'm going to try to go to the gym tomorrow morning. I also start working then.

I'm Back

Ok, so I finally have some time to write this thing. I realize that if I try to write what happened the last two weeks in detail, I will never finish, so here's a quick summary.

My flight back from Russia was not too bad. I was awake for like 24 hours straight, so it wasn't fun. I arrived home about 11:30pm on Sunday night.
On Tuesday morning I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I was pretty miserable for the first two days, but after that, it was fine. By Friday I was eating sushi and other strange things.
I hung out with friends almost every day and packed everything on Tuesday.
Wednesday morning around 6am, me and my dad left Miami in the car to go to North Carolina. We arrived around 7pm. The next morning at 6am, we left to Rochester, and arrived somewhere around 6pm. Friday and Saturday were spent driving around buying stuff, getting my car registered, and unpacking.

Today I finished setting everything in my room and took my dad to the airport around 4pm. I then went home and did a project that was due today about my trip in Russia, I almost forgot about it. After that, I called my friends from Kazakhstan and went to visit them at their new apartment. Only one of them was there with her boyfriend, so we ate some really good Kazakh food they cooked and later went bowling. It was a very fun night.

Tomorrow I will go get a much needed haircut and buy some of the last things I need for school.
