So I'm retired to my room for the night I think. Not much has happened today but it's been a long day anyways. Didn't do much this morning. Hung around the room with Brittany and Erin, went and took a shower, and just did some computer stuff. Erin' dad came at 4:00 and I helped them unload his truck and put together Erin's loft. The room is now mostly done. We're having trouble figuring out how the futons are going to be arranged. It's kind of funny because most people have their room completely finished and it's taken us three days to completely move in and we aren't really done yet. Lol.
We have people hanging in the room right now because it's so big and welcoming especially now with the futons. I like it because I meet new people but I do hope that this doesn't become a habit or I won't get much sleep and I won't be happy.
Went to this freshmen event called Destination Iowa State at 5 this evening. It was kind of stupid actually. I did get free food and stuff though and that was really the only good part about the whole thing. This goes on for the rest of the week but I'm not required to attend the whole thing, which I'm very grateful for. I looked at the schedule and it looks like I'll only attend the late night/ evening activities. They don't look like boring lectures and stuff like the other events on the schedule. After registration and dinner tonight they had like a pep rally. I left early. Kind of because I was getting a headache but I was also a little bored and I just didn't feel like being there. Whatever.
Tomorrow I plan on walking around campus to find my classes and to sign up for an audition for the women's choir. I've put it off because after yesterday's book store adventure I was sick of walking. So tomorrow I'll bring out my tennis shoes and wear my shorts to stay cool and comfy. I'm excited to explore campus on my own. DIS has a thing where you can do that with your small group leader but I'd like to do it on my own so I'm not babied by older students. I'm a big girl now, I can do it myself.
Haha. That reminds me of Logan's and my plan for how I'm going to get used to the CyRide and it's routes. I'm going to take a day and just take random buses, you know, whatever I feel like, and then find myself on the map and try to get back to campus. We thought that doing will be the only way of learning how the bus system works. It'll be fun to do I think.
I painted a small watercolor today in my dorm while Brittany and Erin were out on a run. Logan called me while I was doing that and it was nice to talk with him. I think if I stay up late enough to catch him after work we'll talk again. If circumstances permit at least.
Met a new girl named Natalie. She's really nice and I went to DIS with her. It was a little awkward because she's a little quiet and I'm not very good about asking questions that aren't the stupid generic ones every asks like "What's your major? Where are you from?" Etc.
While, yes, it seems like I have a lot to complain about, I'm really enjoying college. The campus is beautiful, my dorm rocks, my roommates are really nice, the food is wonderful, and life is good.
Erin and I were talking about maybe going up to LifeLight over one weekend. We're having trouble finding the exact details so we could plan but it'll probably happen and I think it'll be a blast. First college road trip!! Lol.
Argh! So many girls in the room and I'm so tired. Normally I'm a people person, but right now I don't feel good and I want to go to bed. *yawn*
So excited for next week. Classes start and Logan said that if his schedule permits he'll come up and visit me and bring me some of my things I want from home. Plus Mom just told me that Lauren has a cross country meet up here in Ames, which I am so going to see!! I miss my lil' sis! I just need to get all the information for it so I know where to go and at what time. Will do that tomorrow.
Need to make a Target run, but with DIS they have a late night opening where they will shuttle us over there at like 10pm and apparently they have good deals so I decided I might as well go since I'm creating a Target list anyways.
Okay more people have arrived for now at the room so I'm gonna sign off till tomorrow.
Ttyl ppl!!!
