College Life…Hasn’t Quite Started
So the first day was incredibly boring. As was the second, third, and fourth, which was today. There was a first payment I was not expecting so I was scrambling for a while, but I got it paid. Now the main thing is finding a job. I think I’m getting a part time job working midnights at Micky D’s, but it’s a coveted job, so it’ll be cutthroat for a while. I can handle it though…I think.
So in order to be online, we have to use this accountability software, which I’m totally cool with. Keeps the guys and gals out of trouble. I just hope it isn’t against Xanga, or I will be in trouble and very upset. It should be fine though.
It’s hard being the new guy. And I have an odd personality: I’m a cool person, so I belong with the cool people, but I look like I belong with the not-so-cool people, since I’m a tad overweight and a bit nerdy looking. But I’m laying low anyway.
Anywho, today was registration, which took FOREVER, but I am now officially a student at Grace Baptist College. Classes start Thursday.
Another not so cool thing I found out is books are gonna cost me nearly $300 dollars. Not excited about that.
This post is a bit scatterbrained, but that’s how I’m feeling right now anyway. I’m gonna work on the next Xeries in my free time and see if I can post it within the next month. That’s my goal anyway.
Just thought I’d check in and let you guys know how things are going. Catch ya later!

Don’t dispare. Give it awhile till you settle in and make friends. Stay cool all will be fine…
My college has ‘accountability software’. It blocks xanga. I’m not sure why. You might be able to get your books online for much less. You have to plan ahead so you will have your books the first day of class though. Last semester one of my students bought a $120 book for $1 plus shipping.
I envy you these years. I wish I could relive mine.
It’s hard being the new guy. – The thing is for all the freshmen, everyone is the new guy (or gal). Praying God would lead you to some good friends, those who look beyond the appearance to the heart.
When it comes time to selling textbooks and buying next semester’s (and for future semesters), reach me. I’ll help you out in getting the best prices in buybacks and getting your books – I’ve been doing it for 3 1/2 years as a business
Don’t worry, I won’t charge you since you’re not a student at the location I have in PA lol.
Don’t let your idea about your appearance bog you down – I thought I wouldn’t get friends because I looked like a total dork when i started college and I’m very far from being thin, but I got some amazing friends varying in all sorts of sizes and appearances and levels of popularity. Your personality will shine and that’s what matters
You’re a cool cat and you’ll be just fine. Have some confidence in yourself, flash a smile, and you’ll go far 
Can’t wait to get another update soon! And I hope your first day of college classes go well!
You’re like the little brother I wish I could have. Can I Xanga-adopt you? lol
I so look forward to the first day of college now. @_@
Have fun up there,and dont get on any levels cause it sucks,or so katie said.Dont freeze to death in the winter,I went up to see katie a few times and almost died.
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - Will do.
@C_L_O_G - It’s letting me so far. L ended up paying $251 for book. Didn’t have time to search for any online.
@Bricker59 - Hmm, trade? lol
@naphtali_deer - Except I’m pretty sure I’m the only freshman that came up here that didn’t already know someone here, or came with someone.
@Cestovatelka - Classes went good/boring lol. I’m make sure to remember that next time I need books, but most of these were original college manuals. And of course you can Xanga-adopt me lol!
@sindadurr - Lol! My bad
@MisFishie - Lol ok, I’ll try not to die.
@Like_A_Tigah - Ooo… then that’s definitely a challenge. God will give you what you need, first off Himself as The Friend, but also other friends to help and support and love you along the way – in His time. The key there is His time. Every moment of loneliness is an opportunity from God to go deeper into the heart of God.
