#picnic!

2021. This is some ancient Ro lore lol

Sure! Thanks for asking ^^

So this week was much better than last week in terms of loneliness and homesickness, but not having school on Monday has been throwing me off all week because it feels so short. 

I went to the Honors College Tailgating event last Saturday, and it was more fun than I had originally though it would be even though it was raining and pretty ugly outside I ended up helping them hand out free hot dogs and chips to the other tailgaters and then helped move everything back inside when we ran out of food. I think I ended up earning about one and half hours of community service on accident by doing that, so that was pretty cool. 

Most of the actual week was just going to classes, though I did get my first essay assignments from my Stats class and Quest. The stats essay seems pretty easy, since it’s only a page about GDP and GNP, but Quest has me a bit worried. I have to write a two page max argument analysis essay on a portion of Gogias by Plato, which wouldn’t be that big of a problem if 1. I knew how to write an argument analysis and 2. If Socrates could, for once, say what he freaking means the first time. 

I also have my first quizzes next week, so I’m a little worried about those. There’s only about two weeks of information for my professors to test me on though, so it probably won’t be as bad as I’m expecting. (I hope)

I also got to attend a get-to-know-you picnic for Speech and Debate today, and honestly the more I learn about it, the more excited I get. So far, the events that sound the most fun are Poetry and Prose Interpretation, because I get to select a piece or multiple pieces and use them to form a story that I then get to essentially perform for an audience. It seems really interesting, so I’m going to do a bit more research on it before next week’s meeting so I can ask more questions about it.
