Hello
again!
This
past weekend, me and my friends walked around Lowell again. It was really fun and we are definitely going
to do it again soon. We probably walked
around for over three hours. There is
always something to do here, whether it is walking around, going into the small
shops, restaurants, etc. Or even just
going to the recreation center to work out, going to a Spinners game, going to
the various sporting events on campus, or joining the 80+ clubs on campus. Let’s just say that I’m never bored while I’m
on campus. I’m actually almost disappointed
when I have to go home!
And
Sunday might have been my most interesting day on campus so far and probably
will be for awhile. On Sunday morning at
breakfast, one of my friends said randomly that he wanted a turtle. One of the RA’s in my dorm mentioned that he
had a turtle at his house and that he would let us borrow it for the year. (This is just an example of how nice and
friendly the RAs are. This particular RA
sometimes even hangs out with us) So like six of us travelled to Tewksbury to
pick up a turtle. Then the house next
door was having a yard sale so we checked it out. Combined, we got a coffee table, small
speakers, an ice bucket, and an old laptop from like the 1980s or something for
12 dollars. (They threw the laptop in
for free) In one day we all got a
turtle, a coffee table, an ice bucket, and speakers, plus an extremely
old-fashioned laptop that might even be worth something because it’s vintage. Out of all of us, 4 have a quad so they got
the coffee table and we decided to put the turtle in their room too. I did miss the Pats game, but from what I’ve
heard about it, I’m kind of glad I missed it.
Now that’s a Sunday afternoon!
I’m
having a lot of fun and loving college life.
Well, that’s all for now. Now you
all just have to wait to see what’s going to happen to me this week!
Today is Monday and this is the first full week of
classes! Like I mentioned in an earlier post, all the teachers are really
nice and are eager to help you learn the material. UMass Lowell does
offer tutors in various buildings on all the campuses. I have a Calculus
exam next Monday and a Biology exam next Friday. Now I'll get to see what
college academics are really like. Wish me luck! I had
my first labs last week too. They were
mostly about laboratory safety, but I can’t wait until we start doing actual
labs! Summer is officially over!
I mentioned in an earlier post that I joined the
Ultimate Frisbee club. I had two
practices last week and it was really fun.
We threw the Frisbee around and scrimmaged. There were about 30-35 players total. We play different college teams and attend
many tournaments, but freshman usually do not play since the upperclassmen are
more experienced. My friends and I are
considering making an intramural softball team, but we’ll see how that goes
because we are running out of time since rosters are due in a couple days. I highly advise getting involved in different
clubs and activities. I already met so
many people and made new friends!
Well I’m going to go grab something to eat and get ready
for the Pats game at 7. GO PATS! Talk to you later!
