I pull my shirt on, walk out the door. Drag my feet along the floor.

Lyrics to "Campus" by Vampire Weekend because that's where I am!! (In a campus that is.)

I'm eagerly (somewhat) anticipating the first day of classes. My first class (no lie- Arabic Film and Lit.) I have zero idea what we're going to be doing. My second class, Dissent in America (very intellectual sounding right?) has LOADS of reading homework so I hope it's a fun (interesting) class! And then I have my....wait for it... 4 hour long drawing class!

Who said that was allowed?

I'm freakin, it's like my first day of kindergarten or something. I spent all night last night (actually) labeling my folders and highlighting my schedule. Cool right? And then I could NOT sleep all night long, I kept tossing and turning and all that and my bed is mad squeaky so that just kept me up more. I legit probably got one hour of actually sleep. And I BETTER not fall asleep on the first day of classes (or I'm coming after that mattress provider!)

So I'll let ya'll know how the first day went... if i'm still alive! (500 drawings. That's my first assignment for my drawing class = no living allowed.)

'Cause I ain't the way you found me, and I'll never be the same!

That's what I woke up to this morning! (You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates)

Right now I am waiting for Catherine (my roomie) to shower so we can go to breakfast!

baaah everything is so exciting and new and I can't get over that I'm finally here. Yesterday morning it seemed impossible what with the RIDICULOUS amount of packing (I filled 2 rolling move-in carts you guys. what?) and the fact that the Verizon guy came to fix our phones RIGHT as we were about to pull out of the driveway (making me 2 hours behind everyone else on the packing front). But now that I'm finally here and all set up, I'm starting to believe it (if you believe in college clap your hands!) I'm here Temple and watch out!

Aside from the enthusiasm, I have realized a few flaws in my careful planning. Number one, I ordered a micro-fridge (an energy safe microwave on top of a fridge? or just a really small fridge) and so did my suite mates (I have 3 roommates: Catherine, Nina, and Emily) and there's really only room for one in our small small common space.  Hint: it's smaller than this!

So we're getting one sent back. But that's okay because we really DON'T need that much fridge space and we should conserve on space anyway!

After that whole fiasco I managed to jam all of my clothes into a waaay too small space (my sweaters will never forgive me!) 

We had our wing meeting (north west woopwoop!) and I my interesting fact that we needed to introduce ourselves was this: I am an airhockey champion. Now this is not necessarily true I've never won like a tournament or anything, but I do like air hockey and I win at it! And apparently everyone and there mother heard that because several people came up to me saying: you're the girl who likes air hockey right? And when the R.A. announced that our floor game room does not have an air hockey table, everyone in the circle looked at me and awww-ed.

Now that I'm the air hockey girl FORever, I should probs start practicing my strategy (she shoots! she scoooores!) 

So we're going to break fast now. But I will talk more about my college needs and necessities upon return! 

I love ya, tomorrow!

 

THIS IS IT! I go to college in officially 24 hours!

And, I am totally not packed. But don't tell anyone that!

I know this sounds dumb, but I have everything packed but my clothes.

Anyway, so much s went down yesterday and I just HAVE to talk about it. I know, I know, I didn't post yesterday, and I know that all none of you who read this are sorely disappointed but I was busy (?) p.s. this is how tired I am, I just noticed that I'm eating my cereal with a giant

 salad spoon. classy with a k!

SO yesterday the refrigerator repairman came over to fix our ice maker. Not only had the ice maker already fixed itself when he got here, but as soon as he entered my kitchen he grabbed a serrated knife (should I be worried?) Now my mom was at work so I had to deal with this monstrosity all by myself! After confirming that the freezer was, in fact, NOT broken, he proceeded to vacuum under the refrigerator (weird choice) and than asked for one hundred and twenty eight dollars... and forty five cents. So I paid him just to get that creeper out of the house! Following that excursion, I went to crepes with Sabrina! That was fun, except eating a savory crepe (portabello mushrooms, feta,onion, and spinach!) made me really want a sweet one! Then I rode my bike home to discover that my mom wanted to get rid of it (my bike)! It turned out that good old ScottHumphreys (my bike again) is only worth $10 to the bikery so my friend is saved from alternate ownership! On the extra-plus side, I got a new bike for college for fity dollahs! It's a small, red, racing bike. The ride home was difficult because I'm not yet used to riding a woman's bike (Scott Humphrey's WAS a man's) that wasn't too big for me (like Scotty). So I kept feeling like I was going to fall off or break it.

 On the one hand, I didn't. So that's good. But on the other, I could. In the future.

Back to the good stuff, last night my parents had a kind of going to college party for me (with Their friends?) They even bought ice cream (big deal!) But as sweet as those "adults" are, we all know how boring those kind of things get (kidding dad). So we ended up acting silly, evidence below:

 

Welcome to the World!

Hello there! This is my very first post and I'm doing it on my new (for me) computer for COLLEGE.

so exciting! Recently I've been shopping and getting ready for school, you know getting art supplies and general useful things, and there are SO many things you wouldn't remember that you need until you needed them. Like, a stapler?! I need my own stapler?! Who came up with that idea?

Oh today one of my dearest, best, and most favorite friends left for Florence. I know it's 

going to be the best years of her life... and she'll have a never ending cycle of Italian boyfriends and wonderful parties but I just can't understand why I can't come!

So me and my other friend made her a going away t-shirt where it's us standing on a globe (in America) and she's on the other side (Italy). And I'm all the way on the left (in Philadelphia! holla!) sort of jumping off into the atmosphere (like a rocket to the moon!). It says on the bottom "We are intrepid. We carry on." Which is from an all-time favorite movie of ours Elizabethtown. Where Kirsten Dunst is this super chatty flight attendant on Orlando Bloom's flight to Kentucky for his dad's funeral, and during the in-flight conversation she figures out his dad is dead (even though he doesn't tell her) and while he's leaving she's giving him all kinds of pesky last minute advice (in a cute way) about the roads in that area and stuff. And then to inspire him to persevere or whatever she says: We are intrepid. We carry on. And it's funny because it's weirdly intimate and she doesn't know him and he's trying to leav

e. But it's also, you know, we will be friends from across the world! (that's us in the picture wearing the shirts! credit: sabeana!)

It's a great movie though, funny, and sad, and there's love in it! It's a Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous anyone?)!

Oh also we bedazzled my big denim jacket. I found it in the crossover (the passageway ba

ckstage between stage left and right) at the little theatre (I did theatre at my high school... what? so did lots of cool and eventually successful people did!) ages ago. It was part of some one's costume 2 shows ago and smelled like Axe and weed but I washed it twelve times and it's been mine ever since! we bedazzled the front and back with clear and pink rhinestones and silver studs and it's ostentatiously sexcellent! 

Alright! That's the news from me and mine! See you in college!  :{o  (that's a mustache face if you've never seen one.)
