College Day

Okay, so i'm really sucking at this whole updating thing. It's orientation week which means they pack our days from about 7 am until midnight or one with things and then everyone always wants to hang out afterwards so there is really no sleep/blogging time. 

Anyway, Friday was "College Day" which meant that each specific college (college of art, college of business, etc) went on a field trip or something fun. The college of art and design (CIAS) went to this place called Artisans Workshop which is basically a giant warehouse full of art. The place was literally jam packed with stuff, it was pretty awesome. We spent from 10 am until 3 pm just wandering around looking at stuff. I felt like we were in kindergarten again, we all piled on the big yellow school buses with our matching purple shirts and name tags.



awesome wheel made entirely out of wood...



i actually stopped and talked to the artist that created this piece for a while. he was pretty awesome. (in case you couldn't tell in the picture it's a 16 ft by 16 ft painting.)


Came back from the museum and Ashley and I crashed on our beds for an hour and a half. This week is really exhausting! After sleeping for a bit we met up with Eric for dinner at gracies (yumm, more salad-- i'll explain that later...). Ended up meeting up with Phil at dinner two and the four of us went back to the lounge on our floor to play Disney trivia and Uno (yes, we really are lame enough to do that on a Friday night). Decided to go roam the tunnels and find some ice cream. By then Phil had left and Andrew met up with us  and since he's a 3rd year he took us on a "tour" to see the large unrecognizable statue in the main quad. Had an interesting experience while we were standing there... about 6 guys jumped out of bushes and ran as fast as they could around the quad chasing each other and throwing things (Don't worry Mom and Dad, it's perfectly safe here! And we've found ourselves some body guards just in case)
