With this entry, I will have conquered all four of the categories (academics, dorm life, extracurricular,and adjustment). So, despite the fact that I have little to say, I will plod on for the purpose of self-fulfillment in the knowledge that I have defeated the blog.
Dorm life, though, isn't what I was expecting. That's not saying much, though, as I wasn't really expecting anything. In fact, I think that dorms are the most underrepresented aspect of college when it comes to understanding the college experiecence. What I mean by that is that I was never taught what to expect in a dorm, but I knew all about the classes, the teachers, the campus, the food, and everything else about Western before I set foot here. I don't know why this is the case, it's just what I found.
Moving on...what aspect of dorm living should I talk about? Ummm.....poo. I told you I had nothing to talk about.
Oh, I did my laundry for the first time ever today! I'm rather proud. I realized my need for this after I discovered that I only had one pair of clean boxers this morning.
I asked my roommate what I should write about. He didn't know. I guess that's what happens when you live with a Math major. Creativity has no wellspring in the soul of mathemetics.
Bottom line for dorm life: it's still life. I still follow the same morning schedule I had at home (albeit at a slightly different time). I still enjoy sitting around doing nothing. I still sleep, eventually. I just do it with another guy in my room, and a bunch of people in a bunch of other rooms.
Dorm life isn't hard, I don't think. Just be friendly and everything will flow reasonably smooth. Maybe that's why they don't talk about it. It just comes with the territory, comes naturally.
Good night, and good luck.
