first night on my own

today was packed with soooo much to do. i got up early this morning and started packing up all of the new stuff i bought here. there is a lot. i got to the school and went through with the registration stuff. after that i got all the stuff finally up into my room and met the other girls im living with. they are really sweet and it seems like it will be a lot of fun. i started unpacking my room. its so perfect and beautiful. the colors coordinate perfectly, pink & blue. we raised our beds up so they are about four feet in the air so we could slide our dressers under there along with some plastic drawers and containers. we put our desks at the end of our bed and then we put a tall metal shelf inbetween our beds to serve as a night stand. its so pretty.

i met up with my friend gillian today. its funny because we were really good friends up until we were about twelve and then we went to separate schools and didnt really talk anymore. then this summer i ran into her and we found out we were going to the same school. that was pretty neat. today was soo funny though. maybe you had to be here but here it goes anyway. we were walking and she tripped over a chord and had a pretty bad stumble infront of a group of new students. she got up, smiled, and said "hi im gillian" and walked away. hahah. it was pretty unforgettable.

the rest of the day was spent exploring, taking id pictures, listening to lectures, visiting a church fair and such. tonight we went to a banquet which was catered by the same company that caters to the denver broncos. it was pretty tasty. after, we came back here. i changed into sweatpants, of course, and started unpacking the rest of my clothes. we met down in our RA's room and got a chance to meet all of the other girls living in our stairwell. it was pretty fun. our RA's started off with the "new" rules. as of october first we are only allowed to take five minute showers because the hot water is too expensive here. boys are no longer aloud to sit on the couches or chairs. only the floor.... AND the flourescent lights in the room automatically shut off at ten pm.. in my head im thinking "what the heck am i going to do. there is NO way i can take a five minute shower" then i heard "just kidding" the sad thing was that every girl in the room really believed them. haha. next we took a suprise walk to the seven eleven where we were too lazy to wait for our turn to get slurpees so we just walked back. i got ready for bed and now i am preparing for my first night, away from home, on my own. wish me luck.
