Power tools, can't live with 'em and you can't live...er...with 'em

yeah, I don’t know why I titled this note that...but today In my art 102 class(which is really a woodshop class that they retitled so people would actually sign up for it) I don’t know a single graphic design major who is like:

"OMG! A woodshop class! I definitely need to get myself put in one of those...no....TWO of those!"

Seriously, I walk into that room everyday and fear for my life...it’s basically death waiting to happen, with wood being thrown all over and saws flying around, and blades and motors screaming "don’t touch me, or you'll die!"
seriously, they say that, it’s a new feature to warn students of the dangers of the machinery...but I guess I’m a "big kid" now so I’m allowed to use and operate these things(without any supervision, mind you!)
usually I’m the person who takes orders from the sawing person...I’m the tool gopher ..."hey Rachel can you get me some nails" "hey Rachel can you get me the hammer" "hey Rachel can you hand me that wrench, and while you’re at it, you can just go home cuz you're basically useless" yeah, I guess it’s time I hone my woodworking skills...

So aside from being utterly terrified of my woods class, I have...

Okay,
I can't think of anything but my woods class, it’s so SCARY...you guys don't even know!...

I guess if I do chop my hand off, I can just go for the whole Captain Hook look, I hear thats in style these days...

You know you're bored when you're Posting on your blog

So today...no lets back up
Um...the beginning of this semester
yes yes,
okay...

So, this semester started with a bunch of nerves...I was nervous for everything! Like:
What if I’m late?
What if I drive off the road on the way there?
What if I have something in my teeth?
Will my teachers like me? Will I meet really weird people?
I hope they have a bathroom near every room...just in case.
What if I trip in the hallway?
I wonder if my shoes are as cool as I think they are...

So aside from every day college concerns school is pretty nifty...it’s definitely different than high school!! People are free to do whatever they want!

Seriously, I could get up and walk out of class whenever I felt like it! And I could skip class altogether if I really wanted to, of course I wouldn’t do that! I think the freedom is nice, but sometimes it’s easy to abuse the freedom if we don’t handle it correctly. But, I’m pretty sure I’m doing well :)

So classes...
Yeah
Let’s not talk about those

So lunch...I eat food for lunch...and it’s yummy :)

And as for down time

I have a ton of free time in between classes

so between classes I can do basically anything I want...I usually go to a practice room and play the piano for a while...which, side note, I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to be there or not because I’m not enrolled in the music department. I just pretend I know what I’m doing and that I am allowed to be there, and no one knows the difference...
Also I read books...and such, and that about it...oh and I stalk people on facebook:)

So here i am at college, living the dream...

ps. it’s actually a nightmare

Jkjk

Hopefully ill update more often,
