#College

Everybody here in the fine little town of Ann Arbor is so ambitious. It's like whoever I talk to, they're talking about how they're pre-law, or pre-business, or pre-med or pre-president (pre-sident?) or something crazy smart like that. And engineering. Everybody's going to be an engineer.

Hi, I'm JJ, I'm a film student!

That usually gets a pause, and then one of those damage-control "Oh!"s and a "that's cool!" which is about when I let them know that I'm actually not retarded, and that I'm still trying to decide what to double major in. Top possibilities include architecture, or something that will help me get into marketing without turning me into one of the "Pre-Business!" robots. Maybe American Studies? That one could be useful... (That was a joke, Mom)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, he has confessed to 5: Oh my goodness shut up.

Okay, you win: I always do.

Age in letters as of today: IB

Age in words, because JJ is stupid: eighteen

I went exploring, and I found all of the necessary places to know. Except for Oxford Hall, where the heck is Oxford Hall? Nobody knows, apparently. Except for people who live in Oxford Hall. I met one of those today, she tried to explain to me where it was, but all I got from it was that she wasn't really sure where it is either, which is a little bit frightening because she lives there. Speaking of girls in residence halls, it would really suck to live in Martha Cook. That's all I have to say about that.

It keeps hitting me how freaking awesome it is to go to Michigan. My SAC professor was talking about how we have the only film copy in the world of some movies, which is kind of AWESOME. Speaking of my SAC professor, he went over a pointless topic in the notes today so that he could make a joke about it later in the lecture. Ask me about it sometime. SAC is film, by the way. Because I'm a film student. Cough.

How much I like college: Turtles and potatoes

Number of times I had to keep my "collegemouth" from speaking up during this post: 24
