CSU - Summer College has begun!

Ok so you all should know me, and if you don't than welcome to my blog. I am a 15 year old girl in high school, but the title of this isn't talking about high school, is it? NOPE!

I am apparently seen as gifted in the state of Ohio and was asked to join the summer honors institute! Today was my first day and i must say it was rather fun. I've decided to create a blog for each day of college, so today's the first!

I went to CSU [Cleveland State University] today at and early 8:00am. I was the first girl and the third student to arrive. I was rather excited, knowing that i was going to spend the day surrounded by my fellow artists and writers. Though i'm not very social, i expected some fun. I brought my trusty book of Tennyson's poems and plays with me for the dull moments. Little did i know that i would only be using it during breakfast [oh yes we had breakfast even after my trusty bowel of lucky charms!]

Then we were split into our course groups. I was off to writing. We all got some nifty stuff [Yes i just said nifty] like notebooks, shinny folders, and a book that i am now falling in love with [hearts start flying around....that's a little creepy.....] The book is Called Walking on Alligators and I'll be doing a book review on it later no worries!

So writing. We each wrote a small piece about ourselves, putting a small lie between the truths. everyone seemed to be surprised that i had written 17 novels and worked for a tattoo parlor. It was rather fun hearing all the interesting things people said. We also chose a picture that we had to interview. Our only homework from the day came from this picture. We have to write something on it, a poem, a story, something. I'm working on the story as i type!

After this we moved on our way to lunch. I ended up siting at a table worth sitting at. A girl named Yuxi sat next to me. I'm very glad she started talking to me, as i find her very interesting. I hope we talk more and that i get to talk about her on my blog more throughout college! She's taking physics and i can't wait to find out what she's doing. She read the first page of my novel, Black Rose Chronicles, and seemed to like it so i let her borrow it. I hope she enjoys it. We also did a 'Find a person who...' game. Everyone came running to me when they found out i could understand Elven.

After thus we went to the Art studio, leaving Yuxi behind. We'll be printing and carving stamps so I'll post some at a later date. Our printing didn't work out very well today, but alas things can not always go as planed! That's the fun of being creative! After a lot of sticky ink messes, we went upstairs to the studio and watch a man carve a print into metal for stamping. It was rather interesting and he was quite good at it!

Thus is the end of my day. I don't know if that was interesting or not, but hey, i love to write so deal with it!

Well, until my next post, this has been Angela N. Tharp!
