So, college is awesome. The days are long but there are only three of them, and I just love it. Everyone is just wonderful: Rachel and Tarik have been lovely and they’re who I hang out with each day. It’s also just so nice to like the majority of my class.

On Monday, I went in early to help film something for my enterprise class. A graffiti artist came in and people told him words that they thought of when they heard the word “creative.” He proceeded to spray paint these words onto a big canvas to create a background. Then he wrote “Xtra” in big bright letters. My college has created a programme that aims to create a bunch of extracurricular activities throughout the year. Classes end at five, but there was a launch party from five till seven and I thought I’d be a good little student and go along: It’s more productive than watching Netflix in my room for hours, which is probably what I would have done.

This launch party had music and dance and even a little bit of drama. Kiah, this awesome girl with pink hair, edited together all the footage from the morning session and it was projected onto the board. As much as she denied her editing skills I was impressed with the outcome. I got the bus home with her and we chatted, I found out that she reads Rookie, so at this point I must give her a shoutout. (Heyyyy! You rock on all of the levels! Plus, you are so awesome, much like your old username says.)

I’m having another Halloween party this year. This year I’m inviting college friends, and I’m relying on them to actually come otherwise it’s gonna be relatively dead with just a few of us drinking beer and me doing karaoke on my own. Actually that doesn’t sound too bad either. ♦
