Awkward Silences, Not Enough Underwear August 28, 2008

I am a junior at Cornell University! Wow, it feels like yesterday that I was a bright-eyed freshman ready to take on the world. Two years later, I am still pretty bright-eyed and I am continuing to change the world one person I meet at a time. I would like to say hello to all my blog readers out there and for anybody new, welcome to Year 2 of my blogging life and Year 3 of college!
Today was my first day of my junior year and I am feeling pretty good! I just went through my Intermediate Accounting class that started in full action today, but it starts at 10:10am which is the latest I ever started which means more sleep for me. It was great to sit in class as the teacher asked thought provoking questions about accounting and all you can hear is the awkward silence of a room full of upperclassmen not ready to get back to the grind of school. All I could think about was the first day of high school where you just spent the whole class introducing yourself and going over the syllabus. My professor went over the syllabus for about 5 minutes and went right into an hour lecture. Times have really changed.
Even with classes underway, I still haven’t fully set up my room. The problem with being from Los Angeles is having to pack your life away in two suitcases (even one if you don’t want to pay extra.) I tried to do the best I can, but I couldn’t help forget a few items. Most importantly, I forgot to pack underwear! I brought 5 pairs of shoes and three different suits,but I forgot to pack underwear. With barely any underwear, I feel unprepared for life and in a mess of a situation. I guess all I can do is say to myself, “Welcome back to Cornell, you might be a junior but some things never change.”
