why I came to beloit and other things of interest

We got our schedules yesterday. I got all the classes I I wanted, which is good. I really don't like the new schedule right now. It was hard to find classes that would fit in with the few classes I really needed to take, and every class I wanted seemed to meet 11-12 on Wednesdays. also, they end at weird times, like 11:05 instead of a nice even every class from X-X:50. hopefully it will be better than I anticipate and they will take next semester to iron out the kinks.

I have been giving a lot of tours for admitted students recently. It kind of reminds me of when I was trying to choose between every school I had been accepted into. I remember listening to so many people tell me that the reason they decided to go to such and such school was because they got on campus and just knew it was the right place. I was always really skeptical of this, how can you just know? But as corny as it seems, they were right. even as a junior when I really wanted to get out of WI for college, as soon as i got onto Beloit's campus I pretty much knew I would end up here. odd.

I am so sick of matzo. I am trying to keep kosher for passover, a holiday that has pretty strict dietary guidelines for the week, but it is pretty hard. the campus has an excess of matzo, but they don't really cook meals that are kosher for passover or anything, not that I expect them too, it just makes it harder. Though I went off campus for Seders (the traditional meals served at the beginning of passover), there was one on campus. I kinda want to stay some year and go to the campus one, but with home being 50 miles away I really enjoy doing the family thing.
