RCTC

Well, I thought I'd add a new post since it has been a while... I've been BUSY, so give me a break. I started at RCTC one week ago, and so far i pretty much like it...A LOT. It gives you a feeling of independence, being in college. I actually don't really mind going to school anymore, like i did in high school. I really do believe it has everything to do with the class times. In high school, classes start at 7:40 in the MORNING. That is far to early to learn anything, at least for my brain. By having the classes later in the day (in my case, my earliest class is at 10:00 AM--on three days out of the week, and at 11:00 AM the remaining two days) I'm able to concentrate more, plus i know in the back of my mind i'll always be done with the school day by AT LEAST 2:50 (on only TWO days out of the week) the other days I'm out at:
Monday: done at 2:50 PM
Tuesday: done at 12:50 PM
Wednsday: done at 2:50 PM
Thursday: done at 12:50 PM
Friday: DONE AT 10:50 AM!!!!

It's amazing... and i love it. There are few people I know that go here and I've been able to talk to them occasionally in the halls, other than that i haven't had the time to really get to know anybody yet, and because of my introverted personality, it's been a struggle to try and break free of my "box." I'm planning on getting involved in the Christian Youth program, InterVarsity or something like that, hopefully I'll be able to get to know some people there.
Homework hasn't been TOO bad yet, but I'm anticipating a rise in the workload, but i think i'm ready. I hope...
As I type this, i'm sitting in a SH computer lab, and i have class in 15 minutes, so thats all the time i have for now, out.

pictures....

i can't figure out pictures.... can someone tell me how to put them on here... i could probably figure it out on my own but i'm just lazy...(DON'T FORGET TO READ THE BLOG BELOW!!) ;-)
I know that I'm not the best at updating, and most of the time it's because i feel my life is...boring. Nothing really exciting happens to me. Anyways, I'm here to kind of express myself today. I'm sick and tired of people saying how crappy it is to live in Rochester, Minnesota. IT'S NOT THAT BAD! Sure, i've been bored once in a while cuz there SEEMS to be a lack of fun things to do here, but people just don't look hard enough. The other night, my friends and i went downtown in the late evening, because we really had nothing to do. When we found nothing was open (go figure) i said, lets go up in a parking ramp. Just as a joke, but we did and we stopped at the top and just hung out there for a little while (so as not to get in trouble for loitering, we wern't sure if we were, but we wern't doing anything bad.) and we just looked out at the city and talked. It was a lot of fun. Then we turned on the car radio and danced around for a bit. So, in the end, when you hear someone say: "There's nothing to do in this town!" you can just shake your head and think: that just isn't a creative person... and go on your way, because, after all, anybody who reads this blog, was creative enough to find something to do! ok.
