hey hey! well i’m @ school. it’s been CRAAAAAZZYYYY these last 2 days. move in, tons of meetings, etc etc etc. there hasn’t been any downtime since we got here. it was pretty hectic @ 1st, we were so jam packed with appointments and things that there was no time to eat, so i didn’t eat for like 24 hours straight…but tonight was taco nite @ the dining hall so everything is better now (GOD were those tacos good!)
i went with all of my suitemates and we ate together which was awesome; a good bonding experience lol. none of the other suites are really very friendly. some don’t even talk to their neighbors, so i guess i lucked out with this one!
so yeah, it’s been a pretty good time so far. i FINALLY get to sleep in tomorrow cuz we don’t have any meetings scheduled til later. i’m SO tired lol i think i’ve slept a grand total of like…6 hours in the past few days. NUTS. but yeah, it’s worth it. i’m having a lot of fun.
i’ve realized i need posters or something that will make my room a little brighter. it’s cool and spacious, but it’s lacking in personality. it looks too much like a dorm. my suitemates have a GREAT dorm setup. one of them brought rice paper lamps and she has them hanging from the ceiling. it’s REALLY cozy, so kat and i (that’s my roommate) might get some xmas lights or something to brighten this place up.
so that’s all for now. i’m gonna get back to organizing myself. i feel like everything is so out of place, yet everything is in a place. it’s kind of awkward. i feel like everything is so disorderly! but hopefully once classes start and i realize what i need to have where and get used to the room i’ll feel a lot better.
so thanks for reading, thanks for visiting, thanks for commenting!
until next time!
08.16.2005 | one more day
well, tomorrow is my last full day @ home. leaving for school on thursday. i can’t believe how quickly this summer has gone. it’s been pretty productive. i think i’ve accomplished everything i wanted to. no regrets, just as it should be. I learned to sew (and sewed some pretty cool things, i might add!), i’ve read like crazy, i got a nice tan, i learned to love the ocean (imagine that!) and i’ve just relaxed.
here’s the books i ended up reading this summer:
Angels & Demons
Deception Point
Harry Potter 6
Things Fall Apart
Digital Fortress
The Curious Incident of the Dog in Nighttime
The Other Boelyn Girl
Romeo & Juliet
& 1/2 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I’m pretty impressed with myself, considering during the school year i’m totally anti-reading.
so now i’m just doing some last minute thigns. packing up, trying not to forget anything, last minute shopping, etc etc etc. shopping is getting to be a pain in my arse. we’ve been @ it for like…2 months! enough is enough already! i NEVER thought i’d get sick of dorm shopping!
I don’t know what to say about my feelings towards moving into college and stuff. i don’t really feel anything. it’s pretty surreal. like it’s not actually happening. i don’t know…it’s strange. i’m not even NERVOUS! (well, except for the part about classes!) it doesn’t even feel like i’m going to school! it’s kind of creeping me out! i’m sure it’ll hit me during the packing or the car ride. that’s what happened when we moved in june; i didn’t feel anything til we were done packing the truck.
but yeah, i still have lots to do before thursday. especially my summer HW! lol so i’m going to get back to that now. thanks for visiting. thanks for commenting! tty from cornell!
