In order to properly describe Oxford, Mississippi, I'd have to say it is one of many southern towns whose weather can be categorized as velvety hot. Today was a blast jumping from one building to the next, meeting important people and practically passing out in the library near various college students, who, in their minds, were thinking, "What IS that girl doing on the floor? She's so WEIRD."
In any case, I am feeling quite copacetic with regard to tomorrow. I've crossed off numerous items that were on my list of things to do/ask about today (before the incoming freshmen crowds get here!). The Student ID is made, the health forms have been turned in and Ms. Vanessa and I cleared up a couple of fuzzy details about ACT and what to expect. We are still waiting on ACT to send us my official acceptance letter (I'm in the program, they just take a little longer with study abroad students - it's a cultural thing, which is completely understandable).
Well, that's all for now! Must sleep in order to keep myself from collapsing on a tour! Ta-ta for now!
I'm proud of you for knowing the word copacetic. Either that or you've traveled back in time 90 years or so just by goin to Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteVelvety hot, huh?
Actually, I've done both - 90 years really helps your vocabulary. In any case, they have a class on Aristotelian logic -- they even had a comic "Penguins are black and white. Old t.v. shows are black and white. Ergo, penguins are t.v. shows. Apparently logic is one more thing that penguins are not good at!"
ReplyDeleteMy Greek 101 class qualifies as a language requirement under a "classics" heading, along with ancient latin.
