Welcome to the Jungle

So the time has come for me to blog. Today is day three of college life. So far I've gotten very little accomplished, but I expect that to be the usual. Today i had to do laundry (because I have very few clothes here to begin with) and realized, I know almost nothing about how to use an american washer. So I spent about 10 minutes of back and forth-ing it to the laundry room, until I finally was able to start the stupid thing.

I got my books this morning, including: Understanding Arabs, Softball rules, Raisin in the Sun, and An Enemy of the People. The last one is a play or something in a series of plays, I ended up having to borrow it from the library because they dont have it in stock yet. I've already cracked open the Understanding Arabs book and am thrilled to read it. So far they've talked about the irrationalities of American-thoughts of why they live the way they do and the thinking behind terrorist attacks of the Al-Qaeda.

Wearing long pants everywhere on campus is killing me, but it is already beginning to get cold, so in no time, im not gonna mind it. I'm waiting for three packages currently, two of clothes and such from England, and one from net10 (my cell phone provider) is sending me a new sim card, and I dont have a phone number until I get the card. It's driving me nuts not being able to call anybody, especially the guys in my apartment with a car. Well, I need to go throw my clothes in dryer, get some pictures developed, and buy a towel. I hope everybody writes to me soon, when I get my phone number I will be able to call everybody at the same price so, expect some chatting. Talk to you guys later!
