Today was a pretty good day! I woke up this morning feeling
very well rested and continued with what has become my morning routine: run,
shower, breakfast, quick study session. I’m glad to have settled in to a
pattern for life here, as I am typically a very routine based person and
appreciate a schedule.
In class this morning, we spent most of the time reviewing
the textbook information from last night’s reading. All of this had to do with
how infants see, think and learn. We watched a lot of videos on YouTube, and an
amusing phenomenon we observed was YouTube’s continual suggestion of 12 hour
baby lullaby videos to watch next. Class this morning passed really quickly to
me, which was a good start to the day.
Class in the afternoon was fast as well. We went over the
empirical articles from last night, and I felt like I had a much better
understanding of these two then the ones we’d discussed in class yesterday.
After that, we had free time to work in our groups. My group was productive in
finding several resources for our Lit. Review and were able to comprise a rough
list for our works cited page. After Cassie dismissed us from class, my group
tried to find the Harper Memorial reading room, as we’ve heard it’s gorgeous
and Harry-Potter-esque. Unfortunately, after some unsuccessful wandering we
learned that it is not open in the summer.
After some brief studying, I headed back to the dorms so
that I could meet Alana for our check-in. It was really nice to see her and
chat a bit. I am definitely relishing my independence, but it’s comforting to
be reminded that I have adults looking out for me as well.
I was really happy because I was able to finish tonight’s
homework a lot more efficiently than yesterday’s. I got all the work for
tomorrow done before dinner, and was planning on trying to go play some soccer.
Unfortunately, it was raining, so I was contained to doing ball touches in my
room. I have to use cautious ball control to ensure I don’t set off the fire
sprinkler system!
After dinner, I decided to try and go out a little bit
because I was wanted a break from campus. Sayali and I took the shuttle to 53rd,
where we walked around a bit and went into a fun candy shop, Kilwin’s. We tried
some fudge and I got a couple chocolate covered things, then we took the
shuttle back and headed in to our dorms for the night. I had a very pleasant
day, and am certainly looking forward to tomorrow–it’s Friday!
