Day 189: Back to school...
Aug. 26th, 2005 04:20 pmI moved in yesterday. My parents were really awesome about driving up with me and Del was awesome about helping me move in, and then mom and dad took me to lunch before saying good-bye. Believe it or not I really have downsized this year. So have BenTen and Erin, who moved in today. Rowsdower and Rodney stopped by while I was playing Kingdom Hearts (to kill time till Del came home from work) and they observed that I do have much less in the way of random useless possessions. Random useless possessions. That's me! Del came home from work and we sat together while I ate, and then I discovered some DDR going on in the lobby, so I went to play!
Jill and Cyndle and some of the other members of the old crowd from the last couple of years were there, so we all played and had fun. Unfortunately I hadn't played since the beginning of summer, so going through a couple of hours on heavy after not playing for so long was probably a bad idea, but I had fun and met some new people. Afterwards I took a shower - because I was all gross and sweaty and my muscles wanted the comfort of hot water - and then went to visit Del. We watched Buffy and painted our nails and stayed up talking like girls do.
Today has been much more productive. Del and I watched more Buffy in the effort toward breakfast, and then I returned to my room. I now have copies of mine and Del's schedules on the back of my door so I know where people are at all times, and I put up my posters. It looks like the sticky tack will work this time around. I also filled my binders with fresh, new, pretty paper, so that's all good to go as well. I hung out with Rowsdower getting some chores done on campus, and I had lunch of a sort with him. We ran into Rodney and Kelly on the way, and talked for a bit. I hung out with Erin and BenTen (helped both of them move in as well) and then took my bike to the bank to get money for the movie tonight. Hopefully everyone can go. It would be nice. I invited a random new guy named Joshua who said he's interested in gaming (interested but still a total n00b) but he says he's going to be playing online once he has his internet. This post is evidence that I now have the joy of the internet in my room. Rowsdower said he might come. Hopefully BenTen won't have to work tonight, and Del will get off work on time to go. Although tomorrow is Saturday so some of us can afford to stay up late tonight if we decide to go to the 9 o'clock movie instead of the 7 o'clock one. It's been a while since I've been on a bike and I was nervous, but it turned out all right in the end, and that's what counts.
I checked on that job in the writing center, but they're all filled up. The one time slot that was empty was during a class I have to take, so I signed up to be a paper grader for a couple of members of the faculty instead. I'd like to grade for Tvordi and Cook, but Harris is pretty cool. It would have to be for a professor from whom I'm not taking any classes, I'm sure. Professor Cook seems to like me, in some weird sort of way, so I hope it all works out. Mrs. Simon in the writing center says that if I come by in early November I ought to be able to score a place for Spring Semester easily.
Back in the dorms and all my friends are here - it should be good!
