One Week Down…
Aug 29, 2008 School Events
Well, the first week of school is over with and now I’m getting settled into a normal routine. The first week was nice, not having much work (haha) and just sitting in class. Sometimes for not even a very long time at all. Even though most of the books are very expensive most of the teachers help yuo find the books online for a lot cheaper, which is great. I found a couple of my books on line for almost a third of the price!
One place at the school I really like is the student lounge. I have met a lot of people just sitting around in there. The guys on the team and I are always in there kicking it between classes and playing pool. Also the coffee shop in there is pretty good also, I always get the big cookies. The prices are reasonable too so its all good. Theres a group of guys that are always in there playing ping pong too…Its pretty interesting to watch because they really get into it.
Sometime next week there is going to be a block party with food and games so that should be fun. Ill be looking forward to that.

Settling In…
Aug 24, 2008 Chester Heights Apartments, Sports
null
Alright, the school year is underway and so is basketball practice. I really enjoy hanging with all the guys and with all of us at Chester Heights together is nice. With all of us living so close to gether is basically kinda like living in a dorm since your college buddies are right next door. The apartments are nice and close to the school too so thats good. Im anxious to see how the classes go this first week.
Coming to school a week early was an excellent idea because i was able to settle in and get used to the area before the hustle abd bustle of the school year. All the stores you need are basically close range to the apartments with the exception of the mall and wal-mart, please dont try to walk there(ha ha).
Another good thing about the apartments is that the pool is in a good place, its not too far from any of the apartments. After basketball or just workin out, the pool is heaven! Man, just relaxing or acting silly with the guys out there, its another great hangout spot. The pool is actually deeper than i thought! When i first pulled up I thought it was another small pool that only went to about 5 feet, but to my surprise it was 9 feet deep. Which is great.
On another note, at school i had a dilemma with my financial aid, and the school staff has been really helpful, everyone is very approachable and will do whatever they can to help you. That has been great for me, because I am new to this whole area, so that has been a godsend.
