Haiku's can be fun

Last Monday was my freshman orientation at my college. We went and listened to them drag on for hours about scheduling and the options we had for classes. Which might have been interesting for some, but for me having already knocked out my first semester thanks to dual enrollment, I had my class schedule already done and I actually really liked it. For that reason, I found the entire orientation rather boring.

For the most part my dad and I just sat around waiting for my meeting with my advisor who is actually going to be my biology teacher as well, but I actually did go to a few of the seminars such as the one where they explained to us about what classes needed to be in our schedules. It was rather pointless and I spent the entire time thinking of the haiku that went something like:

Haiku’s can be fun
But sometimes are hard to write
Refrigerator

Which got me thinking that I could be just as witty and write something similar as well such as:

Haiku’s don’t make sense
And so they are hard to write
Refrigerator

Yeah. That’s how bored I was. Which I guess wouldn’t have been such a bad thing if I would have stopped, but I didn’t. I spent the next 45 minutes writing Haikus while this councilor talked to the room of maybe fifty kids about scheduling classes. I thought I would take a little time to write out my process of thinking through the day.

For starters, I should tell you that since it was a generally cold day out Monday and I was in an air conditioned room for the day I didn’t make the best wardrobe choice. I was wearing a tee-shirt and shorts along with I think flip flops, so safe to say after twenty minutes, I was freezing my butt off. Thus this came about:

My schedule is done
And now I am very cold
Get me out of here

And

I am very cold
Why didn’t I bring a jacket?
Stupid stupid me

Then I started thinking about Harry Potter because life in general needs to revolve around Harry Potter. =]
First of all, this one can just count for the books, or it can count for the fact that my best friends and I call ourselves the Marauders. (I’m Prongs by the way)

Padfoot, Prongs, Moony
They are the cool Marauders
Wormtail doesn’t count

Lame but really hilarious! And then I wrote this one:

Dear Luna Lovegood
I believe that you are weird
Love Harry Potter

If you haven’t realized that I was completely bored yet then let me point out now that I had never been so uninterested in something in my life. My schedule was done, I knew the school already. In fact, you could probably blind fold me and get me around the school. Just don’t give me a map, campus maps are more confusing than they are worth. Considering the tennis fields are marked as the old tennis fields that no one uses and confusing stuff like that, the map is pointless. Anyway, after awhile my foot fell asleep. And my foot never just falls asleep, it hurts when it falls asleep. Of course, a haiku had to come out of that.

My foot is asleep
so it must have been sleepy
it hurts, wake up please

I wrote a few more, but they aren’t funny or cute or anything, so the point of sharing those is 0.

Anyway, the day actually was useful for something. I hadn’t scheduled honors English for the fall semester because it was just too messy in my schedule. (Yes honors English. Even though I didn’t take AP English or anything in High School I still believe I was the best damn writer to hit that school, my college English Professor from that Short Stories class even told me I was good). Turns out that Honors English is only offered in the fall and not the spring, so thanks to my advisor being more knowledgeable than any advisor I have ever had before, I was able to fix my schedule so it would look unfun, unmanageable, but not busy.

Basically I go from Bio at eight in the morning right to Honor Chemistry right to Calculus 2 and then after an hour break to Honors English….and then I am done Mondays and Fridays. Wednesday my schedule is like that but I have a two hour bio lab/freshman seminar. Then Tuesday I don’t have class until 4 which is just a scholarship class where we have no work and just do “fun” activities. Thursdays I have one morning class and then chem lab basically all days and then Tuesdays and Thursdays I take Karate. It’s really not that bad, and congrats now you can stalk me everywhere I go. Ahahaha. I have to find time to throw work in there somewhere, but I am sure that won’t be too bad. Hey who knows, maybe there will actually be time for me to write blogs and maybe finally start that vloging channel I have been meaning to. (Funny story about that. I went to edit a vlog and it crashed my entire computer. Yea good times, good times). Then again, it’s summer, I’m supposed to have a lot of time to blog, but between working two jobs and having a crazy social life, things don’t ever seem to work out my way.

Well tomorrow morning bright and early I leave for my BYOF camping trip outside of L.A. I know that I wasn’t too excited before, and believe me, I still don’t want to wear a wetsuit, but I think that things are going to be great. It will be an awesome experience, and to be honest I have more to worry about with my trip than looking bad. (bonus points if you can figure out what this means “I am turning into a werewolf and can’t use wolfsbane” Awkward but totally true. Sorry). I should probably hit the hay because I need to be up at 5 in the morning to head two hours away to catch my flight. I will have lots of awesome things to blog about when I come back! YAY!
