Real quick. I am a freshman at Oakwood University as an English Professional Writing major, and I’ll be giving you all daily posts regarding my first week of school. Let’s start with today!<\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

I am an extremely precise when it comes to my schedule. During orientation and today, I got up at 5:45 AM. I would get up, take a shower, brush my teeth (and retainers -___-), get dressed, have worship, do my hair, and get to the cafeteria right at 7:00 AM, because I don’t care for lines.<\/p>\n

Today, I did the same thing. Except, I didn’t wear what was in my outfit journal (that I plan in advance). I just put on some sweatpants – THREE CHEERS FOR SWEATPANTS – and a t-shirt, because my first class didn’t start until 10:00 AM. Believe it or not, I am not a morning person.<\/p>\n

So, I am at the cafeteria, getting my ID card swiped, and next thing you know, the lady says I’m not in the system.<\/p>\n

Whaaaaat?! Not in the system? I’ve been eating at the cafeteria all week during orientation, and now all of a sudden, I’m not in the system?<\/p>\n

I made some calls, but nothing was open at 7:00 AM, so I decided to make some oatmeal to hold me over.<\/p>\n

This is what I wore today. I would just click on it, because Blogger is doing something weird to the quality.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\nMy first class, Psychology – Honors, started at 10:00 AM. We pretty much just went over the syllabus.<\/p>\n

My next class was Freshman Composition. We started at 11:00 AM and also went over the syllabus and other handouts. That professor made me laugh. You see, Oakwood is a private school that happens to have a dress code. No jewelry (-______-), no shorts\/skirts that’s higher than an inch above the knee, no cleavage, etc. This professor, like the other professors, abides by those rules, but she took it to a different. First, she pulled out of a bag, a “Bling Box”. She had something to cover up your legs if too much is showing. Something to cover up your back if too much is showing. A big drape to cover up everything if your whole wardrobe is too much. But what still has me laughing is – I kid you not – the “Bosom Bib”. My professor pulls out this bib with the words “Bosom Bib” on it. I was laughing so hard! She says to us, “Some of you ladies have been very well endowed, but we don’t want to show all of our blessings.” Mercy.<\/p>\n

I had my Life and Teachings of Jesus class at 1:00 PM. Again, it was going over the handouts. Oh, and I bought two of the required textbooks from her for $1 and $3. Good deal!<\/p>\n

At 2:30 PM, I went to my Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics class. We went over the syllabus. Getting kind of old, right? We got out really early though.<\/p>\n

Finally, my Tennis I class started at 3:45 PM. The instructor is fifty-six years old, and he looks like he’s in his forties…maybe late thirties. We went over some stuff. Again. I can’t wait to start playing tennis again. It’s been too long.<\/p>\n

That’s about it! I’ll update you sometime tomorrow.<\/p>\n
