After spending a bit more time here, I'm catching on more to the real vibe of this town and of campus.
-Finding my way around campus is awesome, because I'm catching on more quickly than pretty much any other of the freshmen I know. I'm always the one handing out directions. It's fun being navigator.
-I'm singing like... every day, and it's getting to be really fun when people say "Blake, sing something!" or Matt (this really incredible pianist guy in the halls) sits down and plays a song I know and I just bust out with something like "Your Body is a Wonderland." All I can say to being a singer is this: :D.
-Speaking of which, I made the UT Men's chorus, only to find that it conflicts with my Biology class, so I'm stuck with not being in choir for a semester. Probably for the best anyway.
-Living in a largely liberal town is really, really, really cool. Yeah, it involves a certain amount of sacrifice of the things I righteously earned, but after living it I can see it's well worth it to raise the general standard of living. And don't ask for examples, because all the benefits are intangible and unexpected. Either you get it because you live here, or you just don't.
-My brother's apartment complex clubhouse has free cookies all day long. I want free cookies dammit.
-I swear, everyone you walk past will make eye contact with you and smile if you smile first. How cool is that?
-Clarification: DT = drive-through. Sorry. Blame it on the sleep deprivation.
