Stanford Update!

Well, so far everything has been going along pretty swimmingly in the 650. I have really not been as homesick as I thought I would be, which is not to say that I'm not at all homesick, just not as much I thought I would be. Last night I dreamed that I had gone home for a few days and cried when I had to come back to campus... But then later I dreamed that I was playing with a baby in the Children's Museum. And a few days ago I dreamed that my entire family staged my sister's death as an elaborate practical joke on me. I don't know what that means...My dreams have been on the fritz lately.

Any the who. With one week of classes under my belt, I can now give a pretty accurate depiction of my life here:

• 3 classes this quarter - second-year Russian, acting for non-majors, and an intense combo of humanities and writing known as SLE (Structured Liberal Education). none of these start before noon. Breakfast ends at 10... Some days I don't eat breakfast.
• walking everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
• football games on saturdays. usually leave at halftime.
• looking forward to lunch and dinner and sleep more than anything. much the same as at home.
• pretty hot during the day. gets into the 100s.
• messy dorm room
• reading for SLE...a lot.
• church on Sunday.
• missing my bed and my house and my family and friends. not in that order.

california, here we come!

I'm rolling out of Virginia today. Flying out, really. It's a little bit surreal. Like at any moment my face could melt into a clock and slide off a table! My back hurts. I don't know if that has anything to do with being nervous. T-minus about 4 and a half hours. I'm shaking in my metaphorical bootsss.

I need an outlet for my nervous energy.

making bear jokes?

welcome to my blog!

to clarify:

the title of this blog is pretty much just a pun on bears, courtesy of brennan dolson. i probably won't be writing too much about bears, unless i happen to encounter one in my daily travels...in which case, i'm definitely going to write about it.

the URL is wordplay too.

poly = polynesian

gone = leaving for stanford

irregular = eh...incontinent? not so much. unusual i guess.
