Alright. So my day has been REALLY eventful. I’ll try not to ramble but it’s quite exciting.
I finished packing last night. Then I cleaned my room. It was weird cleaning my room because it felt like I was checking out of a hotel. But it doesn’t feel like I’m leaving home. I feel like I’ll come back (for breaks and stuff). My mom pointed out that after college, I’ll be going onto my graduate work and then ill get job and maybe get married so this really is kinda the end.
So we left the house at 7. I’ll spare you the little details like dropping my dog off, filling our tires and stopping at Wendys. We arrived at the campus and went up to my dorm. We got my ID and then was directed to my dorm building. We had 10 minutes to unload. My mom says I brought a lot more crap than everyone else and a lot more than needed but I beg to differ. I have everything I need and a lot of it was just my bedding and such. And I had organizational stuff. So I’m proud to say I am moved in and all my stuff is in it’s general area.
So my roommate (I will call her K) and I were sitting in our room around 12:30ish and people came in and we all started talking. They sat down and we talked, then more people would pass by, introduce themselves, and I invited them to join us. We ended up partying on the floor of our room for 5 hours. Around 5:30 a group of guys and I went to go get dinner. As soon as we got there (we had to hike down a hill and go across a street), I realized I forgot my ID. So I hiked back up, (I’m going to have BEEFY calves) and found my roommate. I asked her if she wanted to eat dinner and so we went to the dining hall and ate dinner.
We went back to the dorms and waited around. We had a residence meeting at 7:30 where they did skits and they were really funny. It was their way of introducing general rules and explaining things. Then we had floor meetings. Our RA is kickass. He’s totally open to all sorts of lifestyles and he’s super comfortable with himself. I really like him.
My floormates and I have been having a lottt of fun. There is I and A at the end of the hall, they’re super cool. A was really hyper and I think he was cause he was tired haha. I is cool, I talked to him on Facebook before and was really excited to meet him. The guys across the hall are cool. They weren’t really in our group today. One of them is 6′ 8″. It’s amazing haha.
Thennnn there’s J who is flamboyantly gay and suuuuper funny. I love him so much. His roommate is KY and is a bit quiet but at the same time, not really. Then there’s a girl, D, who’s in a triple down the hall. She doesn’t really like her roommates so she was hanging out with us for a bit. She’s really cool too.
I don’t think I’ve laughed this much in a really long time. After the meetings, J, I, A, KY, K and I (Tara) were sitting in our floor lounge. We decided to write letters to floors 1, 3 and 4 asking for an alliance in case of a civil war in our community or any war. The letters were sooo silly and random, including a bunch of inside jokes we came up with during our 5 hour chat earlier in the day.
Ooh speaking of inside jokes. Our RA posted a large piece of white paper on the floor and the title is “Express Yourself” so people have been writing on it (not much has been written.) By the way, random fact, there are 14-15 people on our floor so it’s close knit to begin with. Anyway, I wrote 3 of our inside jokes on the wall already. Dude, you don’t even understand how much fun I’m having.
So after we wrote the letters, we all put on black jackets/sweatshirts, and went to deliver them to the floors. We just walked up to the first person we saw on the floor and handed it to them and walked away. I totally thought people would be like “The 2nd floor is hellllaaa weird!” but no they don’t and you’ll see why. We went back upstairs and goofed around some more (changed the sign on the bathroom from “The Bathroom” to “The Loo” (another joke from earlier)) and then we decided to go adventuring. By now, it’s 9:30/10pm. We walked outside and stood on the bridge (there’s a bride connecting the third floor to the center of te area. It’s confusing. I’ll explain later). Then these two girls were standing on the balcony of the 4th (I think) floor and were like “Did you guys write this?” and we talked and they said they wanted to join our alliance. We invited them to adventure with us
Then some kids from underneath the bridge were like “DO YOU WANT CAKE?!” and everyone of course was like “duuuude yeah!” so they ran up and we all talked and exchanged names. It was a girls birthday today so people were running around with cake. (Disclaimer for my dad: I know I shouldn’t take strange food from people but these are fellow residents who weren’t under the influence of anything so they seemed innocent (I know that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not innocent but I decided they are (I’m probably going to get a large email from you about this, huh? :D)))
Then we walked and collected one more person so by now we were quite a large group. We stood around in the dark (by a lamp) talking and laughing hysterically and making random jokes when J decided he should sleep (11:15pm) cause he had to be somewhere tomorrow morning. I and Tara (me) were kinda tired so we all just eventually left.
I’m suuuuuper tired right now and I apologize if my blog wasn’t very detailed haha. And unprofessionally written. And all the typos: I’m using my keyboard protector and I’m not used to it.
Alright. I shall post pictures later.
