first day of classes

so, today marked the start of a new era, a new epoch, a new life. my first day of classes here at gordon. and, lo and behold, it went well. i've got funny teachers. interesting subjects. sunshine and warmth. amazing people. who could ask for anything more?

after almost a week of rain and fog, the clouds cleared and the sun rolled out in all its majesty. it was very warm in the early afternoon. and i was sitting outside for some of it, in conversation, meeting people. i met a girl, her name is tie. and i met a guy, his name is tim and he reminds me of jeff decew, except taller, and he gave me a hug. i miss getting lots of hugs. olin, look out, i'm coming this weekend, and i'm starved for hugs. pay up, or else... i mean, please? i met other people, too. i'm slowly expanding my circle of acquaintances. but there are SO MANY dorms, so how do you find someone to eat with? hmm? tricky tricky. thus begins my sojourn into life at a real college. social life - complicated. classwork - not so much. but i did learn something today! je m'appelle suzanne. comment vous apelle vous?
