Number 5: Back at ODU
It feels good to be back at ODU. Really good. I'm finally back and settling down in my new apartment and have been to all of my classes at least once. I hope to get back into the swing of things and start posting once or twice a week about random stuff. :P I just wanted to write about what was going on in my life again because I wanted to write about what I've realized about how interesting college is(and whats a little different)!
Food: I can now cook my own food. I still have a meal plan, but it's really exciting to know that I can throw on some Popcorn Chicken(my favorite) or a pizza or make a PB and J. Speaking of PB&J's, I have made quite a few of them lately, but I decided to go for the "Extra Crunchy" PB instead of the "Creamy" everyone is always raving about. Extra Crunchy wins hands down. I'm obsessed, and already need to buy a new jar. XD
Classes: I'm really excited about my classes next year. I am switching my major to marketing, but marketing only has 300 and 400 level courses. So you have to take certain classes and then apply to the college of Business and take the marketing courses your last 2 years if accepted. So I'm in Accounting 201; it seems interesting, and the teachers cool, but I have a feeling that once we start expanding the class it will mostly involve tricky definition memorization.
I'm in Public Speaking; I already know it's not going to be my favorite class, but I am still excited about learning everything I can from it, because that's a crucial skill.
I'm also doing Math, Physics, and all that other stuff.
Friends/Roommates: We have 4 people in the apartment, 2 bedrooms. My friend from last year, David and I, live in one of the rooms. The other guys are cool. It's kinda awkward making small talk with them sometimes; but one of them just hangs out, is a pretty good cook, and is joining the national guard. The other, I almost never see around the apartment. I have met a few new people because of them, but I've mostly just rejoined with my old crew. We always get together and hang out(and a lot of us live at the Powhatan Apts). But I've been thinking about doing what I do in Herndon and try to just go out and meet a ton of new people and chill with different groups, but I actually don't want to down here. I'm pretty content with the people I hang out with and don't really need anyone else yet. XD
Games: We have wired AND wireless in our apartment! I wasn't able to play GunZ last year because it only works on ODU's wireless system for some reason. But since I have both I can now play! (haha and thats probably not a good thing) Then there's Brawl. We've actually played that a little bit and I've figured out that ZELDA is a beast. She's one of my new mains, and has almost no moves that aren't badass. I'm really excited about getting good with her, and someday putting her in the leet lvl with Lucario. I've been playing SSX Tricky a little(since I got it for 3 bucks right before going back) but haven't really had the time.
So thats whats been going on around here. I hope everyone else at college is having a good time. But what is everyones college address? I'd most definitely be willing to start writing some college to college letters!
Here's mine:
4701 Powhatan Ave, Apt. KK4; Norfolk, VA; 23508

Public Speaking is so much fun! What are you talking about? haha It's awesome that we're basically taking the same classes. Though I've already started taking marketing classes.
Crunchy PB obviously is better. I remember one time as a kid I had creamy and had a life changing thought, "What if I added peanuts to this sandwich?" It was amazing and I thought I was the smartest person ever. Then I saw the crunchy PB in the grocery store and didn't feel so accomplished.
C’est la vie.
LOL Jeanine!
I swear we were talking about this one time
"I wish they had peanuts in peanut butteR"
"you mean this?"
I don't really know much yet, but we have to give 4 major speeches, the last one being 8minutes long! D:
Our first speech has to be informative. What do you think my topic should be?
Write about something you love.
