The other night, I went to the downstairs study lounge and was suprisingly productive there. There were three people in there. Me, a girl from my BIO class, and another guy who was working on his math homework. I had never gone down there, but this is definatley under-rated. I guess the typical study spots are the library and your room, but finding different spots is good when you need options. What happens if the Library is to crowded, or you're in a fight with your roomate, or your floor is too noisy? If these siuations come up, you'll have options to where you can go.
What am i still doing up? Well, I just got back from the laundry room, and was there for about an hour. I was waiting for my clothes to dry, while studying for BIO. If you're the type of person that is easily distracted, I suggest going to the laundry room to completely seperate from the distractions and get work done there. I did this for the first time tonight, and it was perfect. There was hardly anyone there, and I couldn't get too distracted. All there was were washing machines, dryers, tables, and chairs. People would come and go, and I would still be into my BIO as I was before.
Finding change for these machines was such a pain today. I did about three loads of laundry. Why did I let it get this far, don't ask, but the point is, is that it was nerely impossible for me to find change. All I needed were quarters. The change machine wasn't working, so I thought and thought. Maybe I'll just ask my nieghbors for some change, and sure enough, they were nice enough to exchange the dollar bills for shiny quarters.
The thing about such a small school, is that you make friendships so easily, and you can rely on your new frinds to help you out. Even in the first weeks of school, I saw this hospitality from people here, and all I can do is do the same. I feel that if I do one person a favor,maybe someone else will see this, and wont be afraid to do the same, thus creating new friendships with people who you can rely on. By doing this, I have managed to get change from people, snacks, and just their time to listen to me if I needed to talk. Gotta' love Valpo!
Till Next time .

I get really excited for Firdays nowadays. Yes, TGIF....but now, i am a new co-host to a radio show that is on campus. Every Friday from 8- 10, we (me and Luis aka Dj LU) go to the studio and get ready for the show. Mostly organizing the music we're planing to play throughout the show. Our show has only spanish music from all genres. It's so much fun to express yourself, and basically invite people to enjoy what you enjoy. Alot of friends of mine called in, requesting songs, and even other hosts of other shows have told us that it's a great show. Oh, and my Dj name is Dj QuickSand. hahaha.
