Labor Day Weekend

The first weekend of the school year has come and nearly gone already. Here at Hope, we don't get Labor Day off (something about freshmen going home and never returning), so it was a short weekend. But it was fun, none the less.
The first week of school went by smoothly, as well. I had no energy to be nervous about class, because I was in rehearsal 4 hours a night for Aerial. We set a 16 minute piece in 4 days, which is really intense. Today we got a day off, after 7 straight days of rehearsing, which was really nice. It's back on tomorrow, but this is a great break. My classes seem like they should be pretty easy, at least in relation to the things I've been taking around here. Today I was reading in my textbook about something that I've covered in at least 3 other classes, which really helps keep the studying load down. I like not having to deal with brand-new and incomprehensible topics. Plus, compared to the football players in my classes (PE majors, gotta love kinesiology), I look real smart. So class is good. And I've got these huge breaks in the middle of the day, like 4 hours of no class. I don't know what to do with myself. I could like run or read or not do homework in the middle of the night. It's exciting. Or maybe I'll get a job, that would be good.
This weekend I had my first real 21-year-old time. Last night a bunch of us from the house went out for drinks. It was really fun. When we got home we watched "Be Somebody, or Be Somebody's Fool," an inspirational video with Mr. T. It's super funny, and at 2am after a couple drinks it was even better. Everybody's gotta wear clothes....
So I'm enjoying the year so far. I'm bummed that I have class tomorrow, but it's alright I guess. 2 of the 5 house out-of-town boyfriends are around this weekend, which made me lonely, but I'm getting used to it. Family dinner tonight will be lots of fun with all the extra people around. Hopefully I won't ruin the pasta.

Sorry this was random, outside of grueling rehearsal not tons happened. To make up for it, here's a random picture (isn't he so cute?):
