college life 101

no internet until september 8th. we technically pick up some wireless but only ashleys computer does so that doesnt help me any. shes out at her lead oas apt now so i stole her computer... just kidding i asked permission first.

today started at 8:30 am, yesterday was 8:15 am and tomorrow is 8:00. sunday should be interesting, we're starting at 4:30 in the morning. woohoo. oa training is exhausting but im meeting new people. lots of sessions to go to, some better than others. we had a really cool one today called deaf deaf world and we had to do different scenarios all using sign and no voice like going to the bank, airport, hospital, etc. it was really neat and kind of intimidating but i remembered a ton of sign from last year so i was okay. tonight after all of our stuff ended around 5 they let us go early to go home. ash and i came back here and made our first dinner in the apt.. pb&j with soy milk it was pretty tasty. i would have made something more inventive but we only had about 30 minutes and we hardly have any food so that was a no go. after dinner we went and picked up this guy from ash's group and went to barnes and noble for some free coffee and mingling. nothing left to do tonight except watch gilmore girls and sleep!

tomorrow there are some more oa shenanigans. i think we're done by 6:15 so ill have to figure out something fun to do. there is potentially a bowling trip but im not sure if im going yet bc that doesnt even start until 8 and i need some sleep.

the apartment is fantastic and eight million times better than i expected. pictures will be uploaded whenever i can get back on my computer again. the best way to contact me until the 8th is either short emails, texts or leave a message on my phone. i have almost zero down time, no internet except for my phone which has a 2 inch screen and is not ideal for sending long emails so i apologize in advance. if you get a one line response, dont take it personally.

i keep thinking of things to update my blog with but i cant so i might forget things. this morning i had a heck of a time getting to the group in a reasonible way. were living in riverknoll which literally overlooks the construction and you have to either take a 10 minute detour through a giant parking lot or walk through other buildings. unfortunately this morning it was not only raining but i had to try 6 different doors in order to find one that was unlocked. no fun. on the apt side of things.. our shower exploded. well actually it came that way. but basically only cold water comes out the top and only burning hot water comes out the bottom. lovely.

soo yeah, lots to do. freshman move in on sunday. i cant believe its already wednesday night.
