Boredom: Good or Bad?

Good boredom is one of those things that is really hard to appreciate because it is so easily turned into bad boredom. I haven't had much to do these past couple of days on campus and I've been trying really hard to keep it a good not busy, but I still feel like I should be out and about hanging out with friends and visiting and making the most of my time here without classes to get in the way. I am glad the summer is over and I can't wait to start school, if not only to give me something to do, but to learn! I also want to cook delicious food and make the most of my time with my friends.
Hm, so I've been reading this book called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver and it's really got me thinking a lot about food, and the food that we eat and how I really don't like the majority of the food that I consume. One way that I hope to really fix this is by not going out to eat. Not that I do this very often anyways, but I think it will not only save me money, but it will also save my conscience and my health.
I should probably post some pictures soon. Maybe I'll get a good one of my new room tomorrow and put it up so everyone can see my cute little desk/bed space.
I really hope I get to see people before they go off to school this semester, like you Chelsea and Liz, so maybe we can plan something around Labor day? Any thoughts on this?

I guess finally I will share with everyone my schedule for this semester since Rachel has shared hers and I am pretty excited about mine as well.

-Water and Waste Water Management (a Civil & Environmental Engineering course)
-Thermodynamics (a Mechanical Engineering class -I'm taking this so I can take Renewable Energy Systems next year)
-Environmental Justice (a Social Work class)
-Ecology
-my required honors class which is basically a big research project
-CERAMICS!
-River Stewards mini-course

So that's all.

Miss and love all of you!
