Inges notes:

I tried to make waffles for my room mates again, but this time I managed to burn them. I'm such a loser and failure!

Oliver Freddys notes:

Hmm, the professor must have forgotten that there was a lecture today... oh well, I'm taking notes anyway! I don't want to fail on my exam!

Must be a glitch in the matrix game. There actually wasn't anyone there holding the lecture!

Understandably, many of my fellow students used the opportunity to fall asleep. After a while, I learned that you could actually use the computer to read and study, which definately helps. With only three days two and half months left for my exam, that certainly wasn't to soon!

Inges notes:

Ah, so this is the classroom. I wonder who the professor is.
Hmm.. as I wasn't quite sure how to do this. I just stood there for a while and let everyone else pick their seats first, before I picked mine. I don't want to make a mistake in front of my fellow students!

Well, at least the professor showed up this time..

..not excactly sure what she is teaching, though, but hey.. art studies... what do I know? ;)

Really? Ok, so the professors doodles might be boring and not make much sense, but you can't sit on the first row and sleep... I'm gonna step in here and wake you up!

Wakey wakey!

That's more like it! Do like your boyfriend and be a good student now!

Your results are falling behind compared to Oliver Freddys so I want you to study. You can entertain yourself later! I want both of you to get the best grade possible! I just can't let them roam free on their own to much.. sometimes, for pupils and students especially, I take on the role as their strict parent or guardian.. because that's what I am! :P This is what you get for sleeping in class...

Oh yes, cooking dinner on a filthy oven... this reminds me so much of my own student days...

This too, by the way. The collection of plates that no one bothered to clean up... yeah, I lived in a house of slobs...

Oliver Freddys notes:

I asked this guy that was over for a visit if he got any fish, and I learned that he was oversensitive, absent minded and a good kisser.

Amazing. Just from that question alone.

When I let the nerds roam free... they go to the computer to play chess and video games...

Oliver Freddy is the most popular of the two, as he is the one getting the party invitations.

Oliver Freddy: Sure, thing Jefferey! I'll bring my girlfriend too, this time!

Oliver Freddy: Hey, I got an invitation to a party over at Jeffereys place. Wanna join?

Inge: Sure, lets go!

Inges notes:
Oh, I'm so happy he brought me along with him for the party! Maybe now is the time for me to make some new friends!

Oliver Freddys notes:
I can feel the exam looming in the not so distant.. distance, and I don't want to disappoint mom... she was so concerned about me going to university... so I'll stand outside here studying on my cellphone for a bit before going inside to join the party.

Aww.. well, that's actually kind of cute.

Inge: I want to dance! Let's turn this stereo on!

Inge: And this old record player thingie too! This place can't get enough music!

Inge: I don't like that guy! Booo! He's weird! Boooo!

Is this how you make friends...? I see nothing wrong with him... what are you seeing that I don't?

By the way, standing in the doorway is Jefferey, the host of the party.

This guy is so terrible at guitar he should pay you to listen.. yet you're all standing there acting like you're enjoying it. Well, somewhat... Oliver Freddy looks like he wants to get away, and I don't blame him... yeah, just gotta love it when some dude picks up the guitar at a party, huh?

Inge: What do you say, Olli, should we hit it out of here? This guy really does not know how to play...

Hey, Olli, I'm looking at you....

It's pretty cute how she locked her eyes onto him.. but at the same time, he does not register.. the crappy guitar playing is apparently more fascinating..

Inge: Just excuse me for a second, I just have to go outside and yell out my frustrations at that guy! I really don't like him.. he's so weird! Booo!

Right....

Oliver Freddy: I don't like him either!

What guys? Seriously? I see nothing wrong... what has he done? Is he not wearing the right clothes? Really, is that all it takes for a guy to get booed at? Come on... why him and not the crappy guitar player?

Oliver Freddy and Inge: Let's play a prank on the Narrator! Lets morph into each other and become one!

...what?

Wait.... what did you just do!? That's kind of disturbing...

Inge: Hey, hubby.. I'm getting a little tired of this party. Shall we go home?

Oliver Freddy:Yes, sweetie.. I think that's a good idea. We should get some rest before our classes tomorrow.

Well, maybe he wasn't so happy to go home after all, but its still cute how she can't stop looking at him!

And once they are home..

Ok.. I think its a clear sign you're getting tired when you're laughing at a naked wall. Seriously, there is nothing and nobody there... and the room next door is completely empty, too.. Bed time for you, young miss!

Sweet dreams...

Inges notes:
I woke up first on our first real day of university life, as expected because Oliver Freddy wasn't there when I went to bed. I let him sleep and went downstairs to make waffles for everyone. I was hoping this would please my room mates and help to give me some new friends.

Oliver Freddys notes:
Inge must have gotten up already, because she was not in bed when I woke up. First thing I needed was a shower, because I was a little smelly from yesterday. The bathroom at our dorm isn't bad, but it gives me a public bathroom kind of vibe. Not the most "homey" part, but it's alright.

Inges notes:

No one else appeared to be interested in my waffles, so I had to eat alone. I am sure I can make some friends later, when I go to my first class!

I put the remaining waffles in the fridge and went upstairs for a shower.

Oliver Freddys notes:

I went downstairs and checked the fridge for some breakfast as I was getting hungry, and found that someone had already made waffles. How convenient! I guess no one will notice if I take one, right?

Inges notes:

After showering I was starting to feel lonely. I hadn't really talked to anyone new since I got here. I also want to be a good student, so I went to the bookstore* to buy the books I need. Maybe I can be lucky and meet someone new there.

* Technically, they didn't go there by free will. I sent them there as I thought this was something they had to do to be good students.

Oliver Freddys notes:

After eating the waffles, I thought it would be a good idea to go to the bookstore to get the books I need. I want to start reading as soon as possible, so there is no reason to wait. However, when I asked the store clerk for the books on my curriculum, she just gave me a blank stare as if I came from a different universe. I asked again, and she only chuckled and explained to me that I didn't have to buy the books. They should already have been handed out to me upon arrival. I felt a little embarrassed walking out of there empty handed.

Inges notes:

When I got outside, I saw Oliver Freddy also on the way to the bookstore. I tried catching up to him, but he was already to far ahead. When I got close, I saw Oliver Freddy walking out of the bookstore again, empty handed. That had me a little confused, as I thought he went there to buy books.

This is where it deviated from my real life experience. Here we have a university bookstore... and you can't buy university books. Bah! Humbug!

Inge: Hi sweetie, what's up? I saw you running here, and I thought you went here to buy books?

Oliver Freddy: Yeah, I did but.. apparently we won't have to buy our books. They have already been handed out to us.

Inge: Oh.. that's completely different from how I thought it would be. Guess I won't have to buy books then. Hmm, anyway, my first lecture is in just a little less then two hours over at the Arts Institute.. well, I think I will have to head over there now, just to make sure. I don't want to be late for my lecture! See you tonight, Olli!

Oliver Freddy: Yeah, you must not be late! My first lecture is almost six hours away, so I have plenty of time to kill. See you tonight!

Oliver Freddys notes:
After Inge ran off to her lecture, I went over to the Institute for technology and medicine, where I sat down to read my book on a bench outside. I thought it best to be a little prepared for my first lecture.

Inges notes:

After the lecture, I went back home and watched some tv and played computer games as I didn't find anyone else at home. I was excited when the door bell rang, finally I could meet someone new!

Inge: Hi, I'm Inge!

Lizzie Mund: Hi, I'm Lizzie. Nice to meet you.

Inge: Come on in!

Lizzie: I haven't seen you around here before, is this your first semester?

Inge: Yes, it is. Me and my boyfriend arrived here just yesterday after traveling all night. I'm amazed at how big this place is, and how nice all the buildings are!

Lizzie: Oh, it must have been exhausting traveling all the way during night time. Welcome to university! Oh yes, this university is quite big and also very rich in history.

Lizzie: And I should mention, the arcade machines here are awesome, and guess who is the master of them all! Me, of course!

Inges notes:
Lizzie was nice to talk too. I learned that she is rich, and also very good at arcade games. We went outside and continued talking about our favorite tv-shows, favorite meals and some more about arcade machines, before she had to leave.

I have so much on my mind from all the new impressions, I forgot to ask what her major is before she left, but I hope I will see her around somewhere later. Maybe she will be my friend. Oliver Freddy had already gone to sleep when I went to bed for the night.
