This morning, I woke up around 9:30. I got up right away, and went out for a jog. It was so nice, I went up towards the Vink, then through the woods behind the Castle, and finally through the village. It was sooo nice! One thing I forgot to mention was our keys. We each have a key to our bedroom, and then a computerized chip key that you wave in front of the door and it unlocks, its sooo cool, I feel like I’m in the Matrix or something. It’s awesome. Today is my first class, at 4:30pm.. It was Media Crit and Theory. My teacher, Karen Lindsey is awesome. She is a great person, and truly a great teacher. At first, I was not sure if I would like the class, it kinda sounded boring, and irrelevant to what I wanted to learn, but then I realized, as the class progressed, that it is more about the philosophy of media, and what each little detail means. For example, if someone in a movie has a red sweater, what does that represent? It really sounds amazing, so I’m really excited about it.
Then I had dinner, and found out what my Emerson Employment job will be. I will be cleaning up the dining hall after dinner, three times a week (2 hours total). It’s not bad at all, I wipe tables, and vacuum, and I get paid cash in Euros. Sounds like a deal to me! Tonight, I walked around the town a bit at night, and then I played Monopoly, AND IT WAS IN DUTCH!!! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!
So rumor has it that Sophie (the girl our lounge is named after) is a ghost. Apparently she haunts the castle. And what would a Castle be without a ghost? So she is a little girl, a little younger than me, and she walks around and tries to make friends with the kids here. She is a nice ghost though, not a mean one. Some people leave gifts to her, and apparently, she likes them very much. She makes appearances once and a while, so people say if you talk to her, she’ll leave you alone. So every little thing that can’t be explained here, gets blamed on Sophie. I’m not reading too much into this, but everyone is all hyped-up and scared. Its funny.
I’m exhausted, its 10:32pm, so I think I’ll get some sleep. Tuesdays are long days for me, so I’ll try to get some sleep! Night!
