Back to Case!

So okay first things first *cue fancy rap* I just want to tell everyone how super excited I am to be back. So last week was kinda awesome. I went adventuring to the Natural History Museum where I went to the past, a time filled with dinosaurs, smilodons, and the silk road and then was sky rocketed to the future with space probes, constellations, and undiscovered planets. My suite obtained a random shopping cart and Terran, the dinosaur head. There were multiple ice-bucket challenges (which I may or may not have been nominated for), adventures for food and shelter (minus the shelter). Oh and then there was the cultish Arena Bowl which resulted in a loss for Cleveland and the tamest riot I have ever witnesses. Now this was all before classes even started. If this sounds like a good time just wait until you hear what happened this week!

So what do you expect the first week of sophomore year to be like? An amazing time with your friends from last year and not really meeting people outside of your classes? Well guess what that's not what happened!!! I went to the Delta Upsilon rush events this week and I got to meet a ton of amazing new people. I have a policy of not actually naming names on my blog so I can't tell you who I met but everyone in the fraternity is super amazing and nice. It's really cool too because like you'd think people who smash printers for fun would be meany jockheads but these guys are really chill and cool. Plus they all are like real people, they aren't your typical frat guys that I may or may not have been expecting. Also I've realized that I can retain a crazy amount of knowledge of people I just met yesterday... So if you were to ask me for a few random facts about most of the guys (there are a few I haven't talked to yet) I'd be able to give you a decent stalker report about these people.

So classes...

SO MUCH FUN!
I think. I hope. I really hope so.

I mean so far it seems like it's going to be a good semester. My classes seem really good so far. They are definitely going to be challenging but a good challenging. Like I'm going to have a fun time being challenged opposed to just having a lot of busy work to keep me occupied like last year. And my profs are cool people. My four chemistry profs are all doing research in areas that I'm interested in so it's been easy to talk to them outside of class opposed to last year when my prof was only a lecturer.

So yeah this post was more of just an update on my week. Not really the most interesting thing in the world but I realized if I don't write about something I'm going to eventually lose interest.

Oh yeah one more thing though, so I think the best part about this week has been running into people! Like not literally running into them, no I haven't actually ran into anyone...yet. But like, if you ever run into me on and I don't really talk to you that much I might seem all cool and collected and like a normal person. But the second you're out of sight I do a little dance and squeal a lot. It's so nice to have people you don't really talk to, have a conversation with you and seem genuinely happy to ask about your day and how you are.

So to all those small conversationalists  and DU brothers I've talked with this week, thank you for being wonderfully awesome!
