Well, I'm back from my two month vacation in California and I'm ready to go back to school.  This will be my third year at Algonquin College, but this time around I'm taking scriptwriting instead of journalism.  And classes start this coming Monday.

Fortunately I only have one class on Monday and it's at 3 in the afternoon.  Also, this first class is more of a 'meet and greet' than a formal class with lectures and whatnot.  There's going be pizza, so I don't plan on skipping class.

I'm going to be taking some pretty cool classes like dramatic screenwriting and the history of Canadian film and TV.  I'm just really looking forward to sharing my stories with my teachers and classmates and see what they think 'cause I want to write great stories that will captivate and inspire people.

I already have some story ideas that I can turn into scripts for class, they just need to be fleshed out a bit more.  I even have written a story just for fun about the only female Oompa Loompa ever to exist.  It's not finished yet, but so far it's pretty detailed and funny (by my opinion, at least).

Yesterday, I moved into the college residence and I pretty much have everything unpacked and set up.  I'm up on the alcohol-free floor this year, thank goodness, since living on the second floor last year wasn't always that great.  It's not like I never drink alcohol (past posts will vouch for that), but it's just so much quieter and cleaner on this floor than the other ones.  I also have a nice roommate this year since some of my roommates in the past two years haven't been very friendly to me.

This morning, after spending my first night in my new room, I did something pretty stupid.  I walked out of my bedroom and into the kitchenette (the rooms here are more like suites than dorms), closing my door behind me.  I heard it click shut and said, "[censored]!"  The door had locked and my keys were inside!  I swore a couple more times and then knocked on my roommate's door and asked to use her phone to call the front desk.  Someone came within 10 minutes and unlocked my door for me.  So, now for the rest of the year, I'm leaving my bedroom door unlocked.
