Going Off The Rails On A Crazy Train!

Holy Lord was today crazy! I can't think of one uneventful moment! This has just been a crazy day and here at Ball State, today feels like a Friday.
My day started with class at 8AM, Sociology 100. Not much to report from there. However, one guy was doing a stalking stare at me for the entire class. I think his name is Steven if I heard right. Or maybe it was Scott. I don't know, but I do know it started with a "s."
After class, I came back to my dorm to drop off my stuff and then caught a bus to Walmart. It was nice to leave campus for a while, and you know how much I love Walmart. Well, I got all my stuff: water, popcorn, soup, an iTunes giftcard, some dum-dum pops, coke zero vanilla. My mission then became to get all to campus. I got it on the bus. That was pretty easy. As the bus was pulling into campus, I pushed the button thing so it would stop in front of my dorm walkway. Well than dang bus driver ignored it and stopped in front of a stop nowhere near my dorm! I was so mad! I got everything off the bus, tried calling my friend Erin to help me and of course, my call went to voicemail. I walked a bit and tried calling my roommate Kristen, who came to my rescue. I have now decided that I'm using the Muncie bus system as little as possible because their service sucks something. Not sure what yet but something!
About an hour after that whole escapade, I went to lunch with Erin and our friend Noelle. I love those two. They make me laugh so much, and I have so much fun when we hang out that I forget about the homesickness that I always seem to have. It's going to suck not having them here this weekend.
After lunch, I came back to the dorm where Erin and Noelle helped me with my News 132 (multimedia-audio) homework. My assignment was to record an interview with someone about any story topic I wanted and record natural sound to go with it. Well, I chose to talk about how clean or dirty our bathrooms on this floor can be. Erin was my interview, and I must say that she did a really good job! Noelle helped me with the natural sound. As I held the recorder ad all, she flushed toilets, ran sicks, open and closed shower curtains, started the shower, got paper towels out of the dispenser. It was very natural sound! I'll try to post it on here sometime because it's some great material! When the recording was done, I came back to my room to edit the material, and Kristen was wierded out by it all. I can't blame her.
Before going to my English 103 class, I did some emailing for my newspaper story. I'm planning on interviewing 5 people and writing a 1,000 word story. And I won't be told it's too long! I love that about college newspapers!
English class came and went. All we did was talk about this essay we have to write. I already knew my topic and as I said earlier, I'll try to post that, too. We also have to make it into a podcast, so maybe I'll put that on here instead.
I was dinking around in my room for a while before Noelle, Erin, and I had a very interesting dinner. There's a football game tonight, so the lines weren't as long as usual. We ate and left. On our way home, we saw this black squirrel (the one pictured to the left). Erin and I named him Fred. All of us were trying to take Fred's picture, but that resulted in some sketchy tree-climbing by Fred, and I became afraid of him jumping on my head. We continued walking to the dorm as Erin told Noelle and I about this squirrel back in her hometown. This is what she said: "There is this squirrel back home, and he's half albino and half not albino." Knowing me, I obviously cracked up  and thought it was the funniest thing since Adam Sandler!
And that brings me to now. I'm sitting in my room blogging, studying, and getting ready to shower before watching TNA. I had a good, fun day. Tomorrow will be nice, too. Noelle and Erin may be going home for the weekend, but I am determined to still have a good time here. The school is screening the movie, The Killers, tomorrow night, so I'll probably go to that. I'll do some more work and enjoy a nice evening to myself. I believe Kristen is going home tomorrow night and coming back Saturday with some friends of hers who will stay the night here on Saturday. I'm curious how that will turn out, but I know it will all be fine.
I'm ending on this note: I may be almost five hours away and in a different time zone, but I am always a phone call, text message, smoke signal, carrier pigeon, tweet, facebook message, or blog comment away! Have a great night, and I will post again tomorrow. I love you!
*Just had to help Noelle find her phone. She thought she left it on her dinner tray and threw it away. It was behind her computer. Guess who found it. Not Noelle! Sounds like something I would do :) !
