College Visits are Educational.

Hello world. I have been on the road, visiting colleges for the past two days. It has been pretty good, and I'm exhausted. I have a better idea of what I want, and what I'd like to major in, but that's a topic for another day.

I visited four colleges Drake, Grandview, Iowa State, and University of Northern Iowa. I don't want Drake or UNI. Grandview's nice but has only a couple of the classes I want, and the theology professor was one cool guy. I absoultely adore ISU for engineering, which is what I'm seriously thinking about. I got to see a ton of things there; ABC Computer, VRAC, and St. John's Episcopal Church. Also, northern Ames is an island... But this blog is about the things that I learned while on the roadtrip with a distant family member.

1) Cell phones cause cancer, and should only be used in emergencies.
2) Lectures are the best form of teaching, as they utilize the most student interaction.
3) If you don't have a water bottle on you at all times, you will die.
4) CO-ED floors are for people who want to have a lot of sex.
5) All Soroities force you to have sex to get in.
6) The taste of the ice should be blamed only upon the person who put it in.
7) If you know what's best for a mentally-able person, and they don't want it, you should do it anyway.
8) Atmospheres on a college aren't really that important.
9) People with CFS can't hold full time jobs.
10) Obama's only goal is to screw people out of money because he and everyone else has never had a hardship.

I only put the "less extreme" things on here. I am hitting that exhaustion point, and sanity is slowly starting to creep back in. Gah.

University of Iowa tomorrow.

So blogger, I think I am here to stay after a crazy week at our county fair without non-failing internet and constant cell phone service. I'm not going to update everything from my time at fair, but am bringing in a few of the highlights for each day.

Thursday: I monitored the barn for 4 hours. It was boring. It consisted of entertaining the animals, watering the animals, raking the alleyway, and cleaning up *messes.* Bleh. I then got my animals ready for the show the next day.

Friday: I had two shows, one for the exotic animals, and another for the goats. Of course, they were both at the same time. So I said my things about my mulefoot piggy, and then sprinted to show my goats. I recieved a blue on my hog, which was fine. It was my fourth time bringing them, and I'd won twice prior. My goat still had a blue ribbon, but I got last place in the class. Meh. Then after my shows, I had to work in the 4H food stand for 3.5 hours. There, I lost most of the respect for fried foods, which I had only .47% anyway. That night, I pretended to be social.

Saturday: I pretended to be social with people I really didn't know well. It was awesome. More expanse about this at a later date. I also watched the kiddie tractor pull. It was fantastic. I think Kelly was there too.

Sunday: On Sunday, it was humid. Ew. I did a lot of fun stuff, like the Ag Olympics. We had several events, which included Potato Sack Races, Wheelbarrow Races, Popcorn Face Masks, and a rope pull. The rope pull was extremely intense, I wish I entered just for it, but I was helping so it was a blast, and I got free ice cream. :D

Today: I went on college visits. w00t. -.-

I have to do something "family-esque" now. Have a lovely night, world.

Cumin Use: Meh. It hasn't changed.

Earrings: Naked. o.o
