Classic Bev

It’s been a nice break, but how great to be back in Wooster! The weather is doing that weird Ohio thing where last week there was snow everywhere and yesterday it was 65 degrees. Ohio, what are we going to do with you? There are a ton of people coming back onto campus today and tomorrow for athletics and IS (a lot of the seniors like to come back and keep working on IS without having to worry about classes). I’ve eaten in Mom’s (the “truck stop” on campus, it’s like tasty diner food) for lunch every day this week, a habit that will stop once Lowry opens back up. I know college food gets a bad reputation, but I love Lowry food. Especially after studying abroad and eating plain pasta and potatoes and bread twice a day every day for four months, Lowry seems to have every option in the world to me. I’m a big fan of the deli station, especially since (SPOILER ALERT!) you can get a panino (yes, panino, not panini) every day. You just have to ask nicely.

I’m excited about classes starting for this spring. It’s a sad feeling though, I can’t believe it’s my last semester. I’m taking some great classes though, including Roman Archaeology and Art with Dr. Lucey, who is apparently one of the funniest professors on campus. The course will be difficult to say the least, but it’ll be worth it, I can feel it. I’m also taking a Comparative Literature class and, of course, INDEPENDENT STUDY.

I was just looking at my calendar and my IS is due in 37 DAYS. Oh man. I may have just had a coronary. Now, if you do the math, IS Monday is WAY later than 37 days from now, but my advisor and I set up a plan so that I have almost a month for her to read and for me to edit before it’s really due. Also, it means I have a safety net in case I get hit by a horrible case of procrastination-itis. Which is a serious possibility. Because I’m me. Luckily, not only do I have an advisor who keeps me motivated and on track, but I have friends that do as well. My hallmates literally harass me if they see me slacking. They are probably why I have so much written, actually. So I guess I’ll go thank them for yelling at me…

(I’ve included a pic of my baby Geo Prizm, he was a very good first car to me and hopefully he can go be someone else’s first car…a lot of memories with that one, like accidentally leaving my friend Hilary hanging out of the back and driving away—this was after a four night all-nighter stretch—told you I procrastinate…)
