Home :)

Yesterday
I walked by my freshman dorm for the first time in close to a month yesterday. Of course, it's not there, which is still incredibly strange to me.


It might be hard to tell in the photo, but the foundation for the new dorm is entirely dug and (I think) poured.

Today


I'm home! All of my papers are turned in, exams are over, the fridge is defrosted, and everything in the room is unplugged. Now I just have to relax for two weeks until interim starts.

Back on Campus

So, no update yesterday because I was packing to move back and packed my cord thing somewhere deep in a corner. That's ok though, because now all of my moving stuff will be in one post!

Yesterday (ok, late yesterday evening), I finally finished packing and had all of my stuff ready in the dining room so it would be easy to load into the van this morning.


As you can see, it kind of took over.

This morning, mom and I loaded up the van.


We did a pretty good job getting it all to fit in nicely. The only thing in the middle row was my backpack, because it had my computer and I wanted to make sure it wasn't squished.

Both of my parents took the day off of work to help me move in, because they're pretty awesome. Once we got everything from the van into my room, we took a break for lunch, then unpacked a few things, and then they left. I did most of my unpacking/organizing after they left, since it's hard to move all of that stuff around with three people in the room. And here's how my room looks now!



Look familiar? That's because it's the same room I was in last year! And because it's a dorm. I mean, they all pretty much look the same, don't they? Some variation of a very compact living space?

Packing

I'll be moving back to campus in a mere three days. Naturally, this is both very exciting and dreadful. Where did the summer go?!! I have no idea, personally. It seems like it just zoomed by! Anyway, today was a preparation day for move in and life on campus. I went shopping with my mom and B to get the necessary school supplies and other miscellaneous things I needed, then started to organize all of the things that are coming with me.


Like my clothes. I think I have too many. That looks like a lot. How I manage to fit that all into a tiny dorm closet and dresser is probably bordering on miraculous.


Snacks are also very important. How else are you supposed to stay fueled during a late-night studying session the night before a test? Everything on campus is closed by 10.


Last but not least, a small selection of non-nook, non-required books. I mean, how am I expected to live without my beloved collection of Shakespeare? What if I need to prove to someone that it was not Hamlet, but Polonius, who uttered the well known, "to thine own self be true," quote? (Clueless, anyone?)

Going home

This weekend is going to be really fun: tonight I'm staying at my Aunt and Uncle's house, and tomorrow I'm babysitting my adorable little cousin W. After babysitting, I'm going home for the night to hang out with my family. Sunday I'll come back to O to finish up the weekend hanging with my friends.


Today's picture (because I was busy and lazy today) features my backpack (computer and camera stuff, clothes for the weekend), and duffle bags (3 weeks of not doing laundry- again, I was lazy).
