Week One, is officially done!

Hello there everyone. You may be asking yourself, self I wonder how Paige is doing in college at CSUEB. Well let me tell you, this school gets more and more exciting with each passing day. My first day of classes was Wednesday. I started out my morning bright and early at 9:05am with Statistics (yes folks you heard it here Paige does higher level math!) That class lasts until 10:30am. After that I have an hour and a half until GS. Which is short for General Studies. It starts at noon and is basically what I like to call the "How to be a Freshman/College Student" class. Wednesday went well. My Stats teacher is Asian and has a bit of an accent but nothing that I can't handle, and my GS teacher is super kind. So far my Wednesdays look good. Then on Thursday I got my day started with Kinesiology. This class starts at 10:00am and is more or less a nutrition/health class. It seems pretty interesting so far. Finishing at 11:50am I then go straight from Kinesiology to English. English is amazing. I love my teacher she's super cool and I think I'm really going to be able to learn a lot from her. Thursdays should be good (as will Tuesdays). Fridays and Mondays are Stats only and you already my thoughts on that subject.
So on to the exciting stuff. Up here at CSUEB, we like to keep it classy and interesting. First day of classes, Wednesday, they are doing construction on what will be our Gym (called the Recreation and Wellness Center) and they hit a gas pipe. Causing, you guessed it a gas leak. Luckily, no one had to be evacuated or anything but they did have to call the fire department and it caused extreme traffic on our campus. Then, because we here love excitement so much, there was a blackout this evening. (Saturday). The power was out for about an hour and a half. Not too bad but definitely an annoyance and inconvenience.
My RA, her name is Cat. Is super nice and really great. We played Apples to Apples before our floor meeting Wednesday night and had a lot of fun (I kinda felt like I was at camp! :]).
I'm looking forward to a good year here at CSUEB and as far as I can tell things are never going to be dull! :)
One week down and many more to go.

On another note, I got a volunteer position at Camp Okizu ( which is like a Northern California version of Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times). They serve families that have been affected by childhood cancer, and I will be helping with two family camp sessions in October. And if things go well I am hoping to do a summer session or two. :) Got stay campinated (this is like being caffeinated only for extreme camp enthusiasts like me :])

I'll write again soon.

P.S. I really like getting mail so...

Much love to all!

extra extra read all about it!

Well I've offically been a college student a little over 24 hours. Haven't had any classes yet but class is just a technicality. :)Not gonna lie though I am excited for classes to start, meeting new people and whatnot...I just am not looking forward to the homework. Anyways, I have 7 suitemates and 1 roomate. My roomate's name is Sadie and then my other suitemates are: Cristina, Anastasia, Emily, Linda, Liana, and Bre. Everyone is really nice so far. Things have been pretty crazy we all haven't gotten to hang out as a big group yet. All the RA (Resident Advisers) and other college kid staff as well as adult staff have been super nice and helpful. Things have gone pretty smoothly thus far...except for one of my suitemates locking herself out of her bedroom...but it's all good. Thank goodness for cool RA's (shout out and props to Heather and Cat:])Well that's about it. We have block party tomorrow and dinner is in about 20 minutes so that's it for now. Peace out and thanks for reading!
