here’s something that sucked: i got mono. and everyone left for fall break. even pp0000239482735982793857 or whatever the **** he calls himself online.

but seriously, kids, the RC is for the only cool people at UM. btw, no one calls it umich except prospies on college confidential. it’s really U of M, Michigan, UM, or the University of Michigan, if you want to get long and technical. anyway. where were we?

oh, RC loving. yeah, the RC is pretty great. first of all, East Quad is the most conveniently located dorm on the whole campus to central campus, where LSA is, and isn’t too bad for popping up to north campus. i’m a dual degree RC/music student, so i’m involved with both campuses.

the classes in the RC are the best on campus because they teach a lot of material at a fast pace and expect a lot from the students. all of the classes are sort of touchy-feely, but i get the impression that the students are academic and intellectual and want to get a positive experience from communicating with the out-of-the-box teaching the RC provides. we also get to take writing seminars that are interesting, as opposed to the lame English 124 or 125 that everyone else takes in LSA. and honors kids take Great Books, which is like high school honors lit - read a bunch of books and write a bunch of papers. make me die and barf.

what else am i telling you? oh, yeah. if you’re in the rc, you get preference over rc classes, you have to take like one or two extra semesters of a language, you “have” to live in east quad for two years, and you have pass a language proficiency test like junior year or something. i don’t remember the other requirements.

the people in the RC are way better than in the rest of the university, i have to admit. my best friend is in south quad, and i mean she’s my best friend, i love her, we grew up together in good old connecticut because obviously i’m out of state (REPRESENT), but everyone else there is uptight and a ■■■■■■■■■, kind of, and they’re even worse in west quad. and bursley’s kind of tight, i mean, i know a lot of music kids there, but there are also weirdos coming out of the woodwork. basically, east quad is a little family with all the down to earth, nice, smart people here.

also, we party. a lot.

pp000002938479q875kajhdfkhwhatever adds from behind me that he thinks i’m really cute, but also that there are people here who like frats and those who don’t. i really don’t know how that’s relevant. i mean, i think that’s fairly obvious. i’ll add that the east quadies aren’t split off socially. don’t worry so much. god.

any other questions? like, stop worrying so much. you’ll like it if you come, you won’t think about it if you don’t. unless you’re kb, who’s the most resentful mother****er on the planet. i think i’m going to be reprirmanded by alexandre for my abundant profanity.
