Life Updates

Ohmigosh, I have found a dessert that is like instant death for diabetics.It's called hommade candy bars, and it's alternating layers of crackers and what I called sludge (because when I was cooking it, that's what it looked like) - 2 whole sticks of butter or margarine, some brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and milks - with a topping of peanut butter, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips melted together. I've had five today and I'm on a serious sugar rush.

About two weeks ago I got several new games for mah DS (two I bought, one mah mom got for me). I got Code Lyoko and Deep Labyrinth for about $12 (both together) and a used copy of The World Ends With You. I tell ya, I normally hate ARPGs (I STILL haven't beaten Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories), but I am totally obsessed with this game. I intended to play it for several weeks, leveling up and such...but ended up playing all the way to the final boss in three days. Because I played so fast I couldn't beat the bugger, so I restarted and watched the ending on youtube. But I'm obsessed to the point that I'm drawing pins on my hand in class and want some empty button pins to make some for me to wear. *laughs*
Totally recommend it for anyone looking for a good game, even if you have to pay new price -- I got mine for about 30-ish, but that was with 20% off at GameStop [10% discount for buying at the PX, 10% more having the card and buying the game used].
The other two are also cool...but it's TWEWY that I'm obsessed with.

Started college Monday...I have 5 classes, three that meet on Mon/Wed, 1 on Tue/Thu, and 1 online. I'm taking World Literature, World Religions, and Spanish on M/W, Historical Geology (and accompanying Lab) on T/T, and College Algebra online. Love most of my classes so far...the texts for Lit are awesome, I might end up keeping them. There's some great Egyptian love poems I had to read for class this week that I'll probably type up later, and a beautiful different translation of a Psalm. Teacher is a bit hard to understand sometimes - she had a 'murky' voice. The Religion teacher is also difficult to understand sometimes, and he teaches more like a 'high school' teacher...not stopping for much discussion or questions. Maybe he'll warm up a little as we go. The Spanish teacher is...interesting. But then, I've never wanted to take Spanish, so maybe I'm a littled biased against liking him much. (The $120 textbook isn't making me like the course much, either. Stupid thing is 'binder-ready', meaning it's a bunch of loose-leaf pages I won't be able to sell back later. *gag*) Again, a bit difficult to understand.
I love the Geology teacher, though. He's been teaching at this college for 28 years...he is (in his own words) "an old crusty curmudgeon whose entitled to all the opinions I want...and you'll probably hear every one of them this semester." I also like any class that lets me play with rocks during the lecture...I'm not an aural learner. *laughs*
Algebra....eeeeehhh. I don't like math, and I'm not real fond of online classes, but I didn't have space in my schedule to have it anywhere else. At least algebra is the one math that I'm good at -- geometry killed me in high school.

I've made some friends, too...of all sorts. From a dorm-liver who loves comic books and partying to a mother who loves learning languages and her kids and dogs, I'm finding out that, oddly, people seem a little bit friendlier than those in Idaho State did...or maybe the classes are a little more relaxed and people are more willing to talk, who knows.
I even think maybe a guy in one of my classes was flirting with me. >>

One bad thing, though, is that the parking situation at this school is INSANE. The campus is set up with two lines of buildings, basically, with roads and parking lots on both outside sides...the academics building, with all the of the math, english, and social studies classes is at one end of the line, and the parking lots on the other. >>
Insane. It's a ten-minute walk...in the hot sun. There's NO shade. ><

Anyways...just a brief update. ^^
Hopefully I'll have more later.
Maybe even some drawings. *grins*
