So, yeah. Third week into school and we’re still alive. That’s some thing to be proud of, right?
All the incoming students came in on the first, which was an image straight out of hell if there ever was one. Figure, there are 9 floors, 37 students per floor, with an average of 10 of them being incoming students. Thats not to say that only incoming students came in on the first either… That said, about 130 students arrived in Bell Hall (thats right, I’m only talking about one of three dorms) from 7am to about 11am on the first of September. Now, consider that each student is traditionally accompanied by Mom and Dad and you have tripled the foot traffic. Add another 80 or so for the odd brother, sister, aunt or uncle, and your looking at 400 pairs of feet, accounting for over 1000 trips trough the lobby, and nearly 45 personal attempts at suicide. Per RA. (in case you didn’t get that, that was a joke)
Moving on.

Guess that means its official. I’m an RA!
I have been on campus for almost two weeks now, and I was sleeping on the futon up until last night. Why, I’m not sure. At first it was because I wasn’t sure I liked the way the room was set up. Then it was because I didn’t want to raise the bed (too lazy) by myself (too lazy to get help). Then, conveniently, once it was raised and everything was ready, I found that my sheets smelt like… well, crap, and I needed to get detergent, a laundry card, etc… and wash them. And now it’s done, and school is in session.
Well, not yet. The freshmen haven’t even arrived yet, not to mention I am still Jen-less, but for me, the ball is rolling. Fun fun.
So summer didn’t go exactly as planned, on the bloging front anyway. Personally this was one of the better summers I have had. Continue reading ‘So the bed’s made…’
And there you have it. The end of the world as we know it.

HA! Good RIDDANCE Old Town! After May 11th I will have no more to do with ye! No more driving back and forth, land-lords, utilities, unpaved driveways, disgusting roommates… Hallelujah!
Now, I know its not going to be a walk in the park, but I think I can handle it. I have found through past experience that the more I am challenged, the better I do. It’s when I am not challenged that I fall to the wayside. We’ll see.
Really, this is going to be such a great opportunity. I am excited beyond words.
It’s freakin’ APRIL! Gah… It’s been nearly shorts-weather for the past week, few weeks, and now its just as white outside as February… Ew… It’s not even cold enough! It’s still kind of warm out…
Whatever.
I feel I owe you, dear reader, an apology.
It seems my “update” yesterday was more of a rant than an honest, all encompassing, update. And I am sorry…
Sure, some bad stuff has gone down, but things have been on the up ‘n up too. And here’s where I get to boast…
