Clarification

Listening: Sell All My Things - Rosie Thomas

In a little while I'll feel better
Gonna travel 'round the world, gonna see it all
Gonna go to Paris, maybe Rome
But I'll feel better miles away from home
Gotta figure some things out.

So sell all my things, I'm not coming home
There's nothing there to keep me there
Just heartache and panic and worries and things that'll bring me down
My head feels much clearer here...

First day of classes went quite deliciously! Waiting around for classes to start at ten was nothing short of horrendous, until Jimmy and Matty P and Benji turned up and my heart went "Yay!". The boys helped me find my way to the Education building without getting hopelessly lost in the MUNnels. How does one get lost in the MUNnels, you ask? She has to be a Marchioness, and she has to be like "OOOH STAIRS" every time she sees a staircase. Hmmm yes I do that sometimes.

So my Greek and Roman Mythology class was filled with a million billion people, some of which I recognized but didn't know well enough to just go hang out with. That or all the chairs were taken. Seating was pretty sparse. I was sitting there with my arms folded in the almost-back of the class, humming to myself about how boring it was going to be--when suddenly one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen walked into class a bit late, strolled up beside me, and sat in the available seat to my immediate left. I had six small heart attacks just from him sitting there, then two more when I passed a handout to him, and then like nine when he passed another handout to me. I said only two words to him the entire period, and they were "Thank you". Except you need to realize just what that comparison is in my mind.

Julia's Mouth: Thank you.
Julia's Brain: I want to drag you into a dark stairwell and violently rape you.

So Mythology will be a fun course. As I was leaving, I found Stefan, whom I'd somehow overlooked. Don't know how, but whatever--I now have someone I can talk to during boring periods. When I'm not plotting ways to make Gorgeous Mythology Man my own.

Stefan and I met up with Jimmy and wandered off to the UC. Over the course of the next several hours, our crowd ebbed and flowed to include (not all at the same time) myself, Jimmy, Stefan, Benji, Kelilah, Danielle, Cole, Cory, and a new chick named Ellie who is like raw happiness injected intravenously. At the very end of my excruciatingly long break (but made fun by the presence of my friends), we also met up with Jam (Jamalam! <3) and his friend Athena, who I look forward to screaming about birds with and talking to/getting to know (respectively) in English class tomorrow.

So Benji went off to find his girl, Jam and Athena went to brave the Bookstore, and Cory and I scarpered off to find our Roman Civ classroom. We went in lots of circles in the atrium but we eventually found it, and when we opened the door, I was punched in the face by happy. Not only was Cole there, but so was Rae! Turns out I am dumb and she was not in my Mythology class after all, but Roman Civ. Glee! We were a big line of loud happy, me and Rae and Cole and Cory! Also, the guy next to me introduced himself as Matthew. But apparently I get to call him Peach. Which bodes well for me not getting confused, what with the million billion frillion Matthews I know already. Our Roman Civ teacher makes me laugh a lot so things look good in that sector.

I didn't have another class following that, so I resumed last term's tradition--I followed Cole to Biology. Rae came with us and we got to listen to Sally, who has the world's most soothing voice (complete with British accent!). I was kind of drawing pictures for Cole and reading the AU CSI smut Rae was writing gleefully beside me, but it was interesting nonetheless. I believe I will make it a habit to go to that class and keep Cole company and draw and maybe nap sometimes (read "a lot"). Sally makes it impossible not to nap in that class. She is so soothing!

When Cole went home at the end of class, Rae and I hung out in the UC until I had to go home. We spent most of our time throwing around my scarfadillo and screaming about deep sea fangly fish because both of us hate the ocean thanks. Whatever, I now have a date to see Rae first thing in the morning tomorrow for hot chocolate and goodtimes! As we have mutually agreed that we are both addicted to the other, this seems most agreeable.

And sweet God I finally have new boots. Delight of the century! (If you have seen what remains of my shoes, you will understand why.)

Tomorrow is another day of fun and adventures! I am much excited. Funny how the reason I'm so addicted to MUN is not the lifestyle, but rather the friends I meet. I believe Jam said it best when he called his friends "the world's best people. My people."

Quote of the Day

Rae: Weird this much. *holds out hands to express hugeness* But I loves it. I loves it like a shrub.

Icarus feels she should warn you that there will probably be more Quotes of the Day in the coming posts.
