My dorm talks like a pirate

trees and a lagoon and bikes

I’m officially at college; that is the view out of my window. Things are not much different from summer yet, except that I have a roommate (a nice one!) and no kitchen. Plus, I’m going kayaking on Saturday, I might take a pottery class, and I can swim any time I want to.

I have classes too. This quarter, I’m taking three literature classes (Diaries; Letters; and Islam, Arabs and Arab-American Voice in American Literature) and a freshman seminar, if I can successfully crash everything.

My dorm is beautiful and relatively new. My house has 42 people; my hall has 11 people and four bathrooms. Almost all of us are in the same program for crazy nerds. My mini-refrigerator has a half-eaten burrito inside. All of it is still a little overwhelming, and it is all good.

Just one more year for me, then I leave this place for good.

those half eatten baja fresh burritos do tend to overwhelm the unsuspecting customers
