So I'm at school now! It's pretty unfathomable to me to be honest. All my life I've said that I would be going to BYU. It's now strange to know I'm here. I'm nervous; I can't lie about that one. I think everyone reminding me that I need to study as definitely urged that nervousness along, as well as the sheer enormity of the incoming freshman class. I do hope that I can do my very best. My course load isn't necessarily rigorous, but I am taking 17 credit hours. It does help that several are music classes, which really shouldn't be an issue.
One of the oddest things about being here at college is just living on my own. The lack of authority is just strange! A lot of kids at college say it's very liberating. I say it's strange. I'm not used to having no one tell me what to do or where to go. But I think I'm doing fine with it. And as it turns out, my whole apartment is doing fine with it. As one of my roommates came home from work last night at 1:30 he said that the area around our residence halls was still packed with students. I'm glad I wasn't one of those students. I like sleep. And I like not sleeping in until noon. Consequently I choose a more conservative bedtime.
I think my favorite places on BYU campus so far are the library and the music building practice rooms. It sounds completely ridiculous, but I love the quiet. I'm not necessarily being quiet in the practice rooms, but I still love just being alone in there. It's nice. I'm also grateful I came down to Provo as early as I did. It was very fortunate of me to be able to get things all set up before any of my roommates got there.
Well, that's about it for now. I will probably post some pictures of my dorm as soon as I take them. But until then, keep hoping I get in the blogging habit again!
