Hey guys! Ben Williams here, Davidson '16 whoot-whoot! I guess I'll start out by telling a little bit about myself. I was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 3rd, 1994 and I lived there until I was 11 years old; I then moved to Phoenix, Arizona where we stayed for a year; and after that I moved to Atlanta, Georgia where I currently reside. For those of you who are wondering, no my parents aren't in the military, we just like to change it up a bit haha.
I live in a small country town ooutside of Atlanta, there is a farm with cattle, goats and horses across from my neighborhood--but I am FAR from country! Those early years in the city of Chicago are what grounds me.
As far as Davidson is concerned, like everybody else I'm teeming with excitement and anticipation. These 45 days are gonna kill me (the countdown began LONG ago). As I prepare for college, it's almost like I'm living in a dream. I can hardly belive that I'll be at Davidson in a few short weeks, wow time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was a freshman in high school thinking, "I've got four years in this place". But anyways, I digress.
I went dorm shopping today and got some of the basics: sheets, comforter, etc. I'm thinking that I'm gonna wait to get some of the decorative stuff till I actually see my dorm. As I was shopping today, one of the workers in Bed, Bath, and Beyond asked me what school I was going to and I told her Davidson College, I should be used to it by now, but I got that "I'm trying to hide my confusion because I've never heard of that school, but I'm smiling because you're doing something positive with your life" half smile/ half huuh face. I tell her that it's in North Carolina, just north of Charlotte and that it's one of the top ten liberal arts colleges in the nation, (as I've said a million times to unknowing people) then comes the "oh he's smart" face. Hehe-- that face I've come to know from the faces of half nosey, half well-wishing older strangers.
Webtree. Ugh the countless hours spent staring at the computer screen actually worked out well for me! Seeing as though I filled out Webtree completely wrong, (I don't know what I was thinking) I'm thankful I only have to drop/add one class at orientation. Whew! Thank God. I'm taking French 103 ( It's French 101 and 102 together, so it counts as two classes), Philosophy 110, and Art 100. I'm hoping there is a Writing 101 open so I can switch it with my art class (Art isn't my thing at all). Overall, I'm pretty happy with my schedule and I can't wait to be sitting in class at Davidson!
On another note, as one of only a few guys on a blog entitled Meow! (can't forget the exclamation point), it makes me feel just a tad bit strange, ehh oh well....
Come ooon...! Male cats also "meow", don't they?
