Second Day of Classes!

Today was my second day of classes...our professor didn't show up to calc, so I walked out, then in chemistry there was another no-show so I walked out of that class too...then I had my BioE orientation class, which was pretty rockin, I pretended to be the teacher for a little bit (which was pretty funny) and sometimes when people walked in I'd ask "Honors Latin I?" and they'd just look confused and start backing away when we'd all break out in laughter and say its BioE...and I got the secret code to the BioE lounge...all Bioengineers get it, but no one else does, I feel special. Then I had marching band (which I'm starting to dred) and then Trig Review, the class I was going to drop until the professor turned out to be awesome, and I found out there's only ten sessions, class is twice a week for five weeks, that's it. I was pretty excited about that...

First Day of Class...

Today was the first day of classes, which was pretty crazy, I had twenty minutes to get across campus, but I made it because all of my classes let out early. In my Calc class, my teacher decided not to show up so he sent his TA, who walks in five minutes late, he's a six foot tall middle eastern man, with a semi-heavy accent...then I when to chemistry class, where I found out Mike and I have the same class, then we went to eat at the International house (which was pretty good) then I had to go to my Honors Reading Conference, which turned out to be BOMB because everyone in that class is pretty talkative and its a discussion based course.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Its been pretty crazy the past couple days, tons of time spent on the field for rehersal, but that'll all change when classes start, SOME of the food places opened up today (I was previously living of Ramen Noodles and water...) and a friend of mine and I got food at Rocky's today. It was pretty good, cheese burger and amazing fries for a swipe of the meal card. I'm pumped for tomorrow-Ally and Mike come up.

First Day of Band Camp=Intense

Yesterday I had to wake up at seven to be AT the CPA for band rehearsal at 8:00 in the morning. After three hours of baking in the sun, we got a break for lunch, then from 1 to 4 we rehearsed again, then we had to be back for a meeting at 6...everywhere we go we have to bring our water, our music, our instrument, and a stand. Not one of those cheap wire stands either, these ones are legit. Its almost exactly like freshman year Normandy. They had a lot of people drop out and not do it this year because they had a really chillax person running the camp, then all of a sudden a new person comes in and wants to get stuff done. Mr.Moro reminds me EXACTLY of Mr.Z, I swear they could be cousins. Then my section leaders are like Tyler Petek and Dan F., and one of my field commanders is like Ceara Bozikis...its weird...I like it so far I guess, not just band-UT in general. Mr.Moro outlawed other college apperal yesterday, he said that we should have pride in our own schoool, and that if we want to wear a school's uniform, then why not UT's? I agree. Oh, since this is college we get to play TWO shows, the first one is a Russian show, and the second one is Motown. I think EVERYONE should come see a game, or even two games to see both of our shows at the Glass Bowl. Since its Sunday I dont have rehearsal till 1 o' clock so I've got some down time to memorize the music. LETS GO ROCKETS.

First Day In UT

Today's my first day in UT, so far, so good, all my stuff is in my room and my bed is made, Im working on the rest right now...at 5:30 all us band geeks have to meet at the CPA (Center for Performing Arts) for a cook-out or something...I dunno....I dont have a refridgerator and it sucks (because Mike doesnt move in until the 19th) we'll see how it goes.

Last Day In Parma...

So TODAY is my last day in Parma, Tomorrow I'm leaving for UT...I'm 99% packed, all I have left is last minute stuff like my laptop and my phone charger. I'm not sure if I'd say I'm excited or nervous, I'm devoid of all emotion at this point, I just want it to be tomorrow already...The thing is, I'm having trouble deciding what to do on my last day...any suggestions?

Shopping...

Sunday Mike and I went shopping for dorm stuff...we got EVERYTHING we'd need so we're all set to go, I leave in ten days, TEN DAYS!

Mud Hens serve as a good omen

So this weekend I (Jon) visited my sister with my grandma, we took a tour of Toledo today, where I saw tons of places I can't wait to go to. Then, at seven in the evening we went to a Mud Hens game (Toledo's AAA Baseball team) The first three innings were depressing, I though I was back in Cleveland (The score was 5 to 0) Then we get a home run (5 to 1) then a base hit, then another home run (5 to 3) then we get a base hit, then ANOTHER home run (tied at 5), then we go scoreless till the seventh inning, where it become 8 to 10 (we're up by two[mostly due to a hit that was should have been a grand-slam but was robbed by a wall...]) top of the ninth inning they tied it up so it was 10 to 10, then in the bottom of the ninth, with one out, yep you guessed it-HOME RUN!! We win the game 10 to 11 and defeated the Buffalo Bison (affiliates of the New York Mets [we were affiliates of the Detroit Tigers]). An amazing game and a great way to start my soon to be college life. (12 days [that's a mere 286 hours] till move-in)
