Experiential Activities

I liked that we had a guest speaker today. I always learn better when someone is just talking to us like a converstaion rather than lecturing us. Not that we get lectured in US 1100 anyway, I learn a lot in this class, I am speaking more so for my other classes. Our student body president seems very capable and like he is doing a good job at representing Texas State. It stinks that the parking problems wont be fixed until we graduate though. They should had parking outside of every dorm thats designated for people that live in that dorm, and make sure that there are enough spaces for the people that live there. It is a little bit ridicoulous that you have to fight for a parking spot that is a 20 minute walk from where you live. Luckily though I have friends that are willing to drive me around when they go places, so my car is staying put. I like the idea of getting more involved at Texas State, it just stinks that most of the organizations require a lot of time. I feel like I don't have the time to be doing anymore than I already am...yet I know its important to get involved in the community and join clubs. So hopefully I will get to a place where I can juggle it all. I asked a RA if these Experiential Activities counted for Res points right after class...he said that he didn't know...so I guess I will have to look around for the head lady to ask. I think some of these activities are pretty cool, and others will be very much so out of my comfort zone. But I am willing to try anything at least once...I just can see how awkward some of these will be. For instance eating alone in the cafeteria....I am pretty much never alone...and I don't like to be....I get bored when I am all by myself....and if I am alone then I need something to do to keep my mind occupied or I think too much and just stress myself out. I am going to attempt it...but I am a little hesitant. I am mature enough to know that its not that big of a deal and everyone isn't singling you out as the loner that eats alone like I might of felt a couple years ago...I just know I will get bored and lonely and probably not eat very much.
