It's the first week of classes on campus, and as students get acquainted with their classes and teachers I noticed some trends. Here are the numbers:

-Students logging onto Student Central as the professor goes over the syllabus: 8

-Number of icebreaker games that failed terribly: 2

I had a quick dinner in Lenior tonight and, as always, I scanned the masses for some interesting trends.

Here are the stats:

-Students approaching the vegetarian meatloaf with an empty plate and turning around: 5

-Lost students carrying trays looking for the friends: 4

-Students eating breakfast for dinner, like mom used to make: 3

I spent about a hour in the Undergraduate Library today. Between my procrastinating and people-watching from the second floor, I noticed some interesting trends.

Here are the stats:

-Facebook accounts opened: 8

-Phones vibrating: 2

-Ringtone of "Romeo and Juliet" by Taylor Swift quickly being silenced: 1

-Hushed conversations of people catching up: 1

The weather this week has been completely miserable, particularly today. I braved the barren tundra out in the Pit for around 15 minutes this afternoon to see how students are coping.

Here are a few stats:

Umbrellas flipped inside out: 3

Today is election day for Homecoming king and queen in case you've been living beneath a rock for the past week.

Campaigners are out in full force trying to sway students to vote for their candidates.
