Days 2, 3, and 4

hahaha
I guess I'd better catch this up... since I have to do a journal for one of my classes.
Day 2 = Friday, 8/24
Day 3 = Saturday, 8/25
Day 4 = Sunday, 8/26

Day 2/3: After riding the bus to Silver Beach watching 300 (which wasn't as good as everyone said, but that's me xD) we arrived and got settled in the cabins. The weekend was entirely fun, freetime was spent either swimming or just hanging out with friends. One of the group activities was painting a beach chair. My team (which is my Frosh Seminar class) are PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars so we painted the chair yellow, green, pink, and blue with PORTfolio and Honors and Scholars on the arms, and Marlins across the front of the chair with all our names on the back. We also had our book discussion with Pres. Greer, which went pretty well from what I saw. Later that night (2) was the bonfire/crab and clam steam. My friends and I couldn't really figure out the crabs but the clams were excellent. After that there was a t-shirt graffiti party but I was tired and didn't stay the whole time, instead opting to go take a shower.

The next day (3) we got up and had breakfast then free time, and the last activity of that day was the cardboard boat regatta. That was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. We got two sheets of cardboard, a big sheet of plastic, bubble wrap, two cardboard stick things, and duct tape. Somehow I was lucky enough to get two guys who know something about boats and building so we ended up with a pretty sturdy boat that was covered in plastic and two spear-like paddles. The race itself was so fun to watch, a couple boats falling apart when they first hit the water. My group's boat even won the race AND was still in good shape. Overall, that was so awesome.

Day 3/4: After leaving Silver Beach, we headed back to our dorms, where I just wanted to clean up a little bit and then just chilled. Sunday went about the same, pretty much just hanging out with Amber, Audrey and Nikki. Got to sleep in which was fun, because the next day school started....

Days 5 and 6 will be posted later on, but it's time for dinner.

Freshman Year Day 1/2

Day 1: Things went smoothly and there was no incident. The room was almost set up nicely, though adjustments still have to be made. Other than that it was pretty uneventful. Stayed up til around 12:30 talking with the hallmates. Then stayed up til 2 chatting with roomie. Overall, I made some new friends and I'm happy with that.

Day 2: Woke up around 9 and went to "lunch". Vegetarian entree was delicious. Ate lunch with roomie, hallmates, and others. New friends names: Nikki (Roomie), Amber & Audrey (Hallmates), Emily and Patti (Rose hall homies). After lunch, we went to go back to the dorm to pack for Silver Beach and walked out an emergency exit, thus setting the alarm off. Nikki and me made a run for it while Audrey and Amber walked back out.

Overall, we at least made it without stupidity....

I want... I want you

I move in to my dorm tomorrow... It's rather exciting.
I just thought I'd post a new blog to say that
And also, I'm trying to work on this idea for a music video that came out of listening to "The Love Letter" by Blaqk Audio
Everytime someone reads it they say it's slashy
But I didn't write it in that context
I wrote it as this is Jade and Davey's project
So the video should be about just the two of them
I guess it doesn't help that the song's called "The Love Letter"
But oh well.

Nothing else really exciting has happened that I want to blog about it
I guess until later

Who said that it's better to have loved and lost, I wish that I had never loved at all
