sorry for the delay!

hey everyone!
sorry for the delay, i have been pretty busy here at IU. i am almost done with my first week of classes. every DAY seems to go by really fast, but when i look back at the week, it feels like i have been taking these clases for months! (i dont know if thats a good or a bad thing yet...). my math class is VERY confusing. have any of you seen the movie "Sideways?" Well, if you have, my math teacher is just like the main character in that movie: middle-aged, sloppy, balding, and kinda "skittish." he is very hard to follow and i even know the material right now! i cant imagine how its going to be when he starts to teach us new things. EVERYONE in my class is confused. mom says im going to have to get together with a study group. hmm.... my english professor is amazing- he is making me LIKE learning about the history of george washington! you know you have a good teacher when they make obviously boring topics awesome. my "environment and people" class is the most boring thing i have ever been in. i try to bring some sort of mint or something to keep me awake during that class. starting september 13th, i will be taking a "edible wild plants" class. i thought that it started sooner, but oh well. im sure it will be worth the wait. what else... some new friends and i are going to explore the city of bloomington this weekend and follow it with a trip to some lake for frisbees and picnics. we all agree we need to get away from the campus (and we have only been here for 2 weeks!). but, dont get me wrong, i am LOVING it here. i love everything about it. thanks to all of you that gave me support and advice when i needed it- it really helped me through ! ;) i just emailed a bunch of clubs, so i will soon be involved in many activities, too! i cant wait for that. there is always something to be reading for class these days (now we know why college students always have books strapped to their bodies) so, im off to catch up on my reading (if i EVER get behind, i dont know how i would get myself out of it!). thanks for checking up on me to see how im doing! love you all
