The Second Week: Reality Hits, and The New Room Improvments

Well now that we here at Beloit have entered our second week of classes, I for an starting to feel reality closing in. My first Chinese quiz is tomorrow and following last years tradition I will probably stay up late tonight trying to cram in characters and tones. Though we do have about one quiz a week they end up counting for a substantial portion of your overall grade so I am really going to try to start off with a bang. Along with Chinese to study for I am going to get down to reading about emerging infection diseases along with Chinese Politics to help balance out my night. That is one thing that I really like about Beloit; that I can take a cool Bio class to fulfill my div 1 requirements even though I am an IR major, though the class is quite big for Beloit(about 30 people) we still get to do cool labs.



the new couch(actual couch varies from pic)!

Also my roommate Ethan just a got a new 22inch monitor today which is going to be amazing for watching movies. The fact that we were getting the monitor actually acted as the catalyst for moving our entire room around. It has worked out beautifully and the rooms are much more livable with the help of a couch we picked up down the street from salvation army (a common place to see dollar conscience Beloit College students). Coupled with some cheap surround speakers that we got at the beginning of the year, our new beautiful couch, and the fact that my bed is lofted so high I am now sleeping about 1ft from the ceiling this monitor has helped turn our room into a sweet hangout spot to chill, party, watch movies and listen to some tunes. So as you can see this is a very exciting time to be living in room 215 in 810 college street.
