How quickly time flies! Honestly, I don't know where it goes!
In high school, you start early in the morning, and just keeping moving around and around in circles like a big herd, all the while counting down to the magical moment of dismisal--which is, of course, always hours away.
In college, you have a few classes interspersed throughout the day--the majority of which are about an hour (unless you're unfortunate enough to have some kind of lab. Then you're looking at three to four hours). Once class is out, though, that's it. You have all that time to yourself to do whatever you want! The day slips right by when it's broken up in chunks like that, instead of the long haul you get in high school.
With time going by so quickly, I've feel like I've been here for months, not weeks. It's great that I feel so comfortable already, but at the same time, I'm scrambling to fit everything into a measly twenty-four hours each day--and my days start early.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, I have an hour of physical training (PT) with ROTC. It starts at 6:30 (so be there by 6:25, at the latest), and we do different exercises each session. If it's a good day, we'll work mostly on the muscles that go into push-ups and sit-ups. On the days I dread, however, we may run a course of about three miles. I have no qualms in admitting that I am one of the slowest runners in the entire battalion, but everyone there has something they have to work on. Some people can't do all the push-ups they need to pass the test, others have a hard time with sit-ups. That's why we work out every other morning, though.
I'm not going to say I enjoy doing PT, because that would be a huge lie, but I like what PT does for me. Yeah, sometimes it stinks, like when, the night before, people invite you to watch a late movie or something and you have to pass them up so you can get up in the morning. I can't tell you how great it feels, though, when you cut two minutes off your run time, or do thirty more sit-ups than you did last time. When PT is all over with for the morning, you walk away feeling so good about yourself and the shape you're getting into.

Speaking of getting into shape, the new Concannon Fitness Center is a huge success. I can't walk by there (and I live right across from it) without seeing people working out. Students love going; I've never seen people so excited about exercising!
I've actually heard people say that they're favorite show is going to be on tv that night, so they need to go work out.
Sounds weird, right?
Not when thirty-six of the forty-two pieces of "cardiovascular equipment" each have their own tv!
I have yet to check it out, but it's on the list of things I eventually need to get around to (things I'll be able to complete when they extend days to thirty hours).

Well, anyway, I know I said I'd discuss what it's like having a roommate and everything here, but look at how much space I've already taken up! To think that I sat down and thought, "Let me just type a few sentences on the blog so that, later, I'll already be started..."
Heh heh...
