Yesterday, I opened up a free checking account at Vantus bank so my debit card should be arriving relatively soon. It's very close to Grinnell and there's an ATM on campus at the Joe Rosenfeld Center (that's the big building in the middle that has the dining room and the mailroom.
I also handed in my registration card for classes, which i will find out about today. Final first chocie lineup is CompSci, Linguistics, and Calculus. For extracurriculars I chose Voice Lessons, and Aural Skills. The voice lessons are kind of expensive, but there's a try out for a scholarship for those, and half the people who try out usually get in, so I'm hoping i'm good enough for that.
I met Rachel's friend Leah and picked up that box that Rachel left. There were a coupld pillows and a dek lamp and a really cool floorlamps. there were also a couple sets of sheets which is nice because now I have spares. I love you all and I'll talk to you later.

Tuberculosis Test

Today I got the first part of my tuberculosis test, an;30 to discuss my class choicesd handed in my medicals forms, so I'm good to go. I'm meeting with my tutorial professor later at 1:30 to discuss my class choices. He'll probably want me to take more humanities. That's just too bad for him I guess. So far, my first choices for classes that are not my tutorial are Intro to Computer Science, Intro to general Linguistics, and Ceramics Processes. Once I get my schedule I'll know whether I can make it to the plane on friday. Yay! Hopefully I will be able to. I still need to email the girls who have Rachel's stuff and I will do that as soon as this post is up. I'l having incredible amounts of fun and meeting a lot of cool people.
Cool friend of the day: Halley Coplin- went to an all girls high school, really smart, big science person, and fun to dance with. Watches all the same obscure TV shows I do!
