The last few days of summer

Sunday
Freshmen moved into the dorms on Sunday, and returning students moved back in on Monday, which meant that Sunday was the last night I had the room to myself.


Of course, I cleaned up the room a little bit so it wouldn't be a mess when she got here. I may have been using the extra bed as storage for the numerous sweatshirts and hoodies I've been wearing the last few days. (I was NOT prepared for it to be this cold this soon!)

Monday
Last night was a lot of fun- a bunch of my friends got together for a huge Magic-athon in one of the dorms. We even had a few new friends join us :) Jon made a sweet green/black deck, and JD's roommate kind of just owned most of us. This year though, I brought more than just my Magic cards to play with.


Now I have an entire section of my bookshelf dedicated to games: Magic, regular playing cards, backgammon, chinese checkers, and cribbage.

Tuesday
Today we had a big fair type of thing on campus for welcome week. All of the clubs organized stands on the library mall to get people involved. There was tons of food and lots swag.


Seriously, look at all of this stuff! 3 different bags, a bunch of pens, pins, a pencil sharpener, a frisbee(!!!), and a sweet ID card holder. AND they had corn on the cob for lunch! It was pretty awesome.

New Clothes!

Part One, or why I love ResLife:
TONS of free swag. Like the USRH (United Students in Residence Halls) shirt I got yesterday:


I quite like it. But then again, how many college kids don't like free shirts? They might even be more popular than free food.

Part two, or why my dad is awesome:
The high for today is 62 degrees, which is really not what I was expecting this early in September, so I don't have a ton of warmer clothes at school right now. Then, after I showered this morning, I realized I had forgotten my hair dryer at home. So not only was it cold, but I would have to walk around with cold wet hair :( Of course I texted mom to let her know I forgot it, hoping that she'd send it up for me. A few minutes later she called me back and told me that my dad would drive it up to me this afternoon!


Along with the sweet new boots I had ordered but were on back order! They're completely awesome, right down to their new leather smell. lol. AND they're wicked comfortable. That's right, folks: these boots were made for walkin'.

Note: since classes will be starting up again soon, after today I'm going to resume the same schedule I had last year. I'll still be taking a picture each day, but it won't be posted until the next day. I'm going to try and post the previous day's picture in the morning before I go to class, so I don't fall behind. Also, weekends and probably fridays will all be posted together on monday.
