I have to fight the urge to pick up every pretty fallen leaf that I see here in Oregon. I have yet to do so, but I am tempted to do it before the trees are bare and the leaves are brown. There are a few that have beautiful, what I call blushing colors, or bright redish purple that I just want to put in my room to make it look even nicer. I don't have the chance to collect leaves back home. Hell our trees look more like thristy bushes. One of these days I will have a pretty leaf collection in my room. I hope they don't ruin easy.
This week is homecoming, and I notice that the school's organizations are all for it, but the study body seems to rarely care. They have posters and flyers all around campus about special events and even themes. Yes like in high school where you had pj day, twin day and so on. I have yet to see a person dress up with the theme. It's kind of chilly right now to deal with that.
There is also a street fair between my chemistry lecture building and the library. It's mostly filled with booths of either food or shopping. I looked a little on my way to work today, but it was so crowded and I kept getting run over by bikes so I moved onto the sideway and kepted going on my way. I will have to take a look at it when I have some free time to do so.
Today at work I was trained on how to work in the darkroom. They need someone to process the positive film and since I am a science major and know how to handle chemicals by boss though I would be able to handle it. I did fine for my first day, I did have one jam, but only the threader was stuck and not the film. Also the plumber had tried to fix the pipes, but we could not get the water to heat up to the right temperature. So tomorrow I will get to see if things are set up or if I get to play around with them again.
I have notice something here in Oregon that is different from back home, other than the weather and pumping gas. It's how people walk here, I mean which side they walk on. I was always raised that you walk to your right so that people can pass on the left and so on. Well here everyone seems to walk on the left like we are driving in Ireland or the UK. They even do it on the stairs as well. I do not get why people do that here. What is the purpose of doing it that way?
I am in the law library with Aoi, the girl who lives right across the hall from me. She was going and since my roommate doesn't know how to keep quite or at least tone her voice, tv, music or phone down I decided the library would work better for me. I haven't told her to shush, but geez you think someone could understand that schoolwork or something needs some concintration. I was on the phone with my mom today and she was screaming into her phone. I could not hear my mom or remember what I was saying. Even my mom said it was loud and she sometimes cannot hear things all that well. Even last night she was talking on the phone loudly. Aoi says I should talk to Jason about moving into the empty room down the hall, but I don't know if I have any means of doing so. The roommate agreement really did not seem like it would do us any good, but force use to live togther unless someone threated the other. I really cannot bring myself to tell her to shut up, because I avoid conflict and jsut do what I can to move around it. I swear she is like another Meghan. I told my mom that and she could not believe that twice I have the same situation. Actually, Meghan was a lot easier to live with. Hard as that maybe it's true.
Well I better get going I have a chem quiz and a math quiz tomorrow on top of an assignment for my library research class.
