I swear, this blogging all the time thing is probably not going to be a pattern. But I’m gonna be up for a little while longer setting up some stuff in my planner and I thought I’d tell you about my day, because it’s mind blowing.
I woke up around 7 to the sound of Boys Like Girls’ “The Great Escape” blaring from somewhere outside my window. I was meeting the two girls from my trip, Maya and Ellen, for breakfast, so I got up and got ready. We ate a delicious carb-filled breakfast and proceeded to walk around campus.
During the next couple hours I got my official ID card, my work study packet, my mailbox and key, and a package of towels and Midol from home. Then orientation started. That was kind of useless and lame, but whatever. I got out of it fast.
Then I had my first official college class, Freshman Year Seminar, or FYS. It was mostly an intro class and then we talked for a little while about Eating Animals, and I decided that I dislike the football players greatly. But I found it interesting that four our of five of them want to major in history. What?
Then I met Ellen, Ellen’s roommate Ashley, Maya, and Ryan for an orientation dinner thing, which was actually pretty good. There were some sort of vegetarian burgers that I quite enjoyed. Then I made a friend, Jake, who is in my “Pod”, which is basically a little group of freshman led by two upperclassmen to journey through orientation together. We both agreed that Pods are sort of stupid and school spirit isn’t our thing.
After this, there was an improv comedy performance in the theater, so I met up with Maya, Ellen, and Ryan again to go watch that. It turned out to be really funny, and I was glad I went. Then we met up with Conner, our final fellow Voyager, and Ryan’s roommate Dustin, to go find the awesome ice cream place the two girls and I found the night before.
Unfortunately, it turned out that the ice cream place had closed about forty five minutes before, so we instead went to this billiards place to eat bad pizza and play really bad pool. I made one really good shot, but everything else I did was crap. (Sorry Conner) It was here that I came up with three goals for the school year: get better at pool, get better at frisbee, pick what I want to major in. I think I can do it.
Tomorrow I’m going to get up at 6:10 to work out with Ellen and then meet up with Maya to grab our first breakfast in the actual cafeteria.
I already have a group of friends to go play pool with. Whaaaaaat.
I love these posts.
