Day 2: Unpacked and Settled

So, I'm all done unpacking (for the most part) and I'm just now getting a break from all of the activities and meetings we have to attend. My roommate is so so SO nice and I love her to death. I feel so bad though. I brought EVERYTHING I own to this dorm (and took half of it back to my house last night), but Melissa brought hardly anything! Even though she does live 10 minutes away from here lol. But umm...today was a very long day. We all woke up around 7ish, ate breakfast in the cafeteria at 8:00, then left at around 9:00 to do community service. Each LA 100 class (which is an English class) had different places to go. My class went to the Ronald McDonald House and it was SO much fun, tiring but nonetheless fun! We met a few people and one woman had a son with her husband and she was telling us how her thankful she is to have people to just help out just to help out. She was telling us how she had some sort of illness where she wasn't able to have kids, but she has a 7 year old little boy and a baby girl in the hospital fighting for her life because she was born weighing 1 lb. The baby was supposed to be due in October, but due to her mother's condition, they had to induce her early. It was very sad, but it really opened up our eyes and realize what we were doing there today. After we finished up our task in groups, we got to play with the 7 year old boy and boy was he tiring. He wore ALL of us out! lol But I had so much fun and I'd do it all over again if I had to!

Ok, well since I didn't get to do this yesterday like I wanted to, I thought I'd tell y'all how it went yesterday! One word out of many: EXHAUSTING! I had so much stuff, but there were SO many generous people that helped all of us move in, that it took me less than 10 minutes to get everything in. My mom and I only had to make 1-2 trips! It was awesome, but then I got in here and had NO IDEA where to start with unpacking, but I got everything done and even though I'm not quite as organized as I wanted (and as I was at home), I feel good about where I am right now. I'm having a lot of fun so far!

Last night everyone from Asbury Hall (the freshman building) came together in our own hallways and came up with a dance/cheer to do for a dance-off and to see which hall could win the spirit STICK! (that's for Jackie haha). We also had to pick a color for our hall and mine and Melissa's hall were black. Then EVERYONE went into the basement and showed everyone they're dance/cheer. The yellow Second East hall won (which is Jackie's, Paige's, and Jessica's hall). So they were pretty excited. (My hall is Second South by the way :])

But yeah, it really hasn't hit me quite yet that I'm in college. It just feels like I'm at camp since we're having so much fun! The only yucky part about being here is that I've gotten sick twice because I keep getting so over-heated, but I'll be okay. But anyway, I think it'll finally hit me that I'm actually IN college when classes start WEDNESDAY! I miss everyone SO much, but I'm coming home this coming weekend.

But anyway, I'm taking off now. Eating lunch in my room and then at 2:00, we have a presentation to go to until 3:00, then an O-Group meeting with out LA 100 class from 3:00-5:00, then a SISTER Skit from 5:00-5:45, then dinner from 5:45-6:30, then yet ANOTHER presentation to go to from 6:45-7:45, and FINALLY a THINK FAST game show event from 8:00-10:00. They have us SO busy! PHEWWW! So peace out GIRLscouts :)
