The one thing at Providence that I've loved the most so far has been all the people. I've made alot of great friends and we're only 3 weeks into school. I'm living in McDermott, which is the all boys, mostly freshman dorm located right on the quad. I've found that they really manage to put a certain type of person in each dorm, and therefore where you live usually says a lot about you as person. I'm confident in saying that my floor, the fourth floor, is easily the best in McDermott. We all get along great and we often congregate in the halls for hours when we should be doing our homework and play soccer or just hang out. The other night they hosted an 80's dance party and we went as a floor before hitting the town, it was a lot of fun:

My roomates are great too, their names are Eric, who is from Quincy, Mass, and Adam, who is from North Jersey. It's funny because Adam is quite a bit more studious, neater and quieter than the other 2 of us. I'm not really sure what he put on his survey to get stuck with us, but nevertheless, we all get along great as friends! Somehow whenever my friends and I go out, we always end up running into Adam's Jersey friends and hanging out with them too!

I know you guys are just dying to hear about my classes too ;-). Well, they've been going great: I'm a marketing major, although I am now seriously planning on either minoring, double-majoring, or even changing my major to history, because I love history so much. I'm enrolled in four classes this semester: Honors Civ, Marketing, Accounting and U.S. History to 1815. I love all my classes except accounting, which I'll learn to deal with. I've heard people talk trash about Civ since getting here, but it's a fascinating class, we're currently studying the ancient Greeks, something I've always been fascinated by. Also being in New England makes U.S. history hella interesting because everything we're learning about right now happened right around here. Marketing is, surprisingly, a fascinating class as well, and I can really see myself continuing with it as a major, which is good because accounting is incredibly dry and boring. Anyway, all in all, I'm loving it here so far and I'll be back with some crazy stories about my freshman year: I have a lot of them so far, but some of them I just can't post on the website! Anyway, I have a big accounting quiz tomorrow so I should get to work...
