Stanford!!!

[readingredhead]

So today was my first day, and very busy. I don't really have time to chronicle the entire thing, but here goes my attempt:

8:00 Breakfast -- food is actually really good!

9:00-11:30 Class

I really like my teacher -- he seems really neat. The kids in my class are great, too. I think my favorite part is that there are only 12 kids in the whole class! It's really cool, we all get to talk a bunch. I feel like I'm the only one willing to admit that I read non-literary books in my spare time, though -- Matt (our teacher) asked what we read and I was the first to talk. People kinda stared when I listed Anne McCaffrey, Julie E. Czerneda, Jim Butcher, and Diane Duane...

Then there was lunch...

Then there was study hall for 3 hours where we did our assignments (I hate my writing one, I'm going to fix it up after I'm done with this).

Then we went on a photo scavenger hunt around campus, which was really entertaining. Then dinner, then I came back and showered and now I'm here. Not too much else to say...

I probably won't update too often just because I really want to dedicate myself to writing while I'm here -- I figure I paid enough to take this pretty seriously. But I'm definitely going to have at least a little time. I just won't be able to read all my friends entries. *cries* But I know your lives have been splendiferous.

'tis nice to hear that you seem to be enjoying it. ;-)

Staying at Stanford must be quite an experience. Pardon me if you already mentioned this, but are you staying in dorms, or frat/soro houses, or what?

Actually the EPGY Summer Institutes students are housed in co-ops which aren't lived in over the summer. For instance, I live in Terra, which is pretty awesome and has had some artistic residents, as evidenced by the random paintings on common walls in rooms...

I heart you too? :) Check back for updates...though it's easier to deliver them over the phone, now that we've found a time when I can talk.
