All Grown Up and Savin' China

Moved into college today, so far so good. Drove up yesterday morning-- made quite a few stops for such a short drive. But seriously how can you pass up Clyde Pelling's Reptileland?! Or Jones Kones?! Anyway, made it up here around 4ish.. went to barnes and noble on campus and got my books and art kit. Checked in at the hotel and then drove over to a greek restaurant just down the street to have dinner with a bunch of people from RIT. Of course, I didn't know any of them but it was pretty cool to get to meet people before actually moving on campus. This morning woke up early and went to grab breakfast before heading over to campus to register for orientation and what not. I even got my picture with the tiger! Move in was at 12:30, it was SO HOT. My dorm doesn't have air conditioning and the fan I packed was the last bag to make it up. It didn't help that we couldn't open our window for a while either. Got all unpacked and moved in. Went out to dinner with my roommate Ashley, and a couple other people who i met at the dinner last night as well as Phoenix who I had met at the last accepted students orientation. I ate the entire meal with chopsticks just for the heck of it (I had tofu ravioli and green beans). But hey, it's college who says you can't eat with chopsticks. After dinner we came back to the dorm for a while until our floor meeting. Played survivor during the meeting.. which turned out to be rather interesting. Around 10 a group of about 12 of us walked over to see a comedian, Buzz Sutherland. It was pretty amusing. Now we're back in the dorms just chilling and getting ready for bed. I'm SO exhausted, I won't even be able to complain about the bed being uncomfortable because i'm so tired. Actually, it doesn't feel that bad. And for anyone who has been commenting on the size of my room, yeah it's a little small but it seems to be working out. We'll see how it goes. Tomorrow morning we have to wake up at 7 to get ready for some convocation thing at 9. I kind of get the feeling I won't be getting much sleep this week :) There is another 10-midnight thing tomorrow night too. Oh well.
