So!
Time to post again, huh?

You know, it's crazy; yesterday, I had something I was so interested in telling you guys about that I was going to post an extra entry but I ran out of time in the day.
Naturally, I have long since forgotten what that thing was.
Ah well.
I suppose this will just have to be a random compilation about a few different things that have been bouncing around in my head for a while.

I saw a tour group walking around campus a few days ago and it made me think of when I went to go tour schools. I can remember that my biggest pet peeve was, by far, that every school, everywhere (obviously), only shows you their greatest features.
I can remember being supremely irritated by getting a tour of the school's new building of suites, but not even hearing the name of a freshmen dorm. Why on Earth would I want to see some rooms that I couldn't live in for a few years?
Sorry. No.
So while it's nice to get a feel for different schools, if you're seriously considering one over another, I strongly recommend booking a visit. Eat in the cafeteria. Go to a class.
It makes a huge difference!
PC not only offers the campus experience for prospective students, they also have this really cool virtual tour (which I "went on" last year as a high school senior!).
Also, if you know a current student here, then you should absolutely ask them to host you for a night or two!

It's crucial to see the "real" side of a college. If the walls in classrooms are cracking or something, you're going to want to know about it (and, no, I haven't seen any here; it's just a random example).
I'll tell you one thing about the "real" side of college that is driving me crazy, though:
the showers!
Not only do the curtains blow with every little breeze ("O, good morning, everyone!"), I can never get the temperature just right. The first two weeks, it was completely fine. Yet within the last few days, there's been some kind of gremlin or something sabotaging my showers. I kid you not when I say that on Monday, I had the dial set all the way to the left, the coldest setting, and the only temperature variations that I could get were hot, scalding, and third-degree-burns-worthy.
Yesterday, I thought I might leave the bathroom with frostbite.
I'll be honest and reveal my craziness to you. I kept grabbing my towel and "shower-hopping" in hopes that one of the six stalls would function correctly. None of them did, though, and I just looked like I was playing some weird game of hide-and-seek by myself.
Perhaps it's just timing, though, as all was normal in the bathroom this morning.
Beats me.

Other than that, things here are going very well!
I have a Spanish quiz tomorrow, but after that I am free for a three day weekend!
I can't wait!
