Well, yesterday was the first day of school.

I'm really excited about this semester. I'm enjoying all my classes so far and I'm really excited for the two more that I'm going to take. I got a full load of classes and it just feels awesome. I notice myself getting more social these days. I'm just really happy I'm in college. Finally, I'm in college.

The first class I got to was English. The teacher seems helpful enough. Her arm's in a cast, though. Not much happened in that class. I sat next to this slightly older woman named Tracy. She was interesting. I think I have her number around here somewhere. She was really kind, letting me share her syllabus for the time being. I didn't even know what a syllabus was until that day. We had to introduce each other, although I was hoping to get to know someone else in class, particularly the guys.

The thing that's kinda bad about the class is that it's unfortunately not college level English. What that means is that, well, let's say that most of the class is really into sports. Well, I can't really complain 'bout that. I did have to take a couple of years off English and I am from another country.

I did get to chat up this very interesting person after class, though. Her name's Lucia and she was late, that's unfortunately how I remember her. Other than that, she's from San Diego. She's a little bit older than most of the class, she's 30. She's Spanish-Taiwanese and she's traveled throughout the world. I don't really know how far she's traveled but she did mention being in a couple of Asian jungles.

The next class I had, which was all the way into the afternoon, was Typography. This is my favorite class so far. I get to have Barbara again and she's fun. Enough said. A lot of my old classmates from the summer graphics course are there as well, even Audrey. "Buddy..." Hahaha.

I also have a couple of other new classmates. Including this really adorable person who's just getting into graphic design and wants to get into the military. You'd think that he'd be all machismo but he's really sweet. He smiles a lot, too. I think I have a little crush on him. Haha.

Another interesting classmate is Matt. He was adopted from South Korea., he lives in Healdesburg, and he can run a 5:30 mile. He's got a sense of humor. He actually kinda strikes me as the guy that didn't really get anywhere in high school but now that he's in college, he can rule the scene.

Oh and one of my classmates has a Filipino fiance. You know that such a thing is true when he complains about eating rice in every meal.

And lastly, there's Michael Barnes. Who I thought was in my English class. He's not. I just think that there's another Michael Barnes in my class. I wonder if that's true or if I just imagined things. I'm going to find out about that tomorrow.

Oh, I almost forgot. When I first came to the lab, I saw someone who I instantly recognized from Aroma's a lot. I thought, "This is cool. I wonder if he's a designer." So I chatted him up before class. He's actually kinda cool in the way that you know he takes himself seriously. You'd know the type: all black outfit, very professional, nice leather shoes, belt and messenger bag, wears sunglasses as much as he can. Metrosexual, that's the word (I hate that word, btw). He's not really a designer. He does websites. He actually left in the middle of class. That's too bad, I would've gotten a different connection to the Aroma's scene.

Aaaanyway, I really love my Typography class. I am really excited about this. Graphic Design is something that I'm good at. And I love learning more about it. It's just a great creative environment, a great community. And I love interacting with my Typography classmates because I just love the graphic design environment. It's just amazing.

So anyway, today was one of my less demanding school days. Today was just Math. I was concerned about the class, I was expecting something like my English class. It was thankfully not the case. Although I think I sat at the wrong side of class. I swear, I was surrounded by beau coup girls. They were smart, though. I have to say that. They're beau coup girls but they're smart beau coup girls.

I did get to bump into a classmate after class as I was getting my ID. His name's Ryan and he just moved here six days ago. Six days and he's already in class. That's pretty amazing. He moved from uhm.. Moneray? I don't know how you spell that. It's a rual beach community. Which sounds fun, much like back home. He seems to be already established here. He's even going to the city on Thursday to party.

Oh and as I was explaining what language we used back at the Philippines, this girl behind us giggled and I asked her if she knew what I was talking about. Turns out she did. Her name's Rose (later known as Roseanne) and she's originally from Tarlac. I told her that that's where we gas up on the trip to Manila.

All in all, it was a great day. I can't wait for tomorrow.
