Blah

I'm kind of tired but not very. I need to take a shower. Today the last of my roommates moved in. She seems cool. Her name is Amanda and I think I have more in common with her than the Allison's (who are very energetic, friendly and interesting nonetheless). Everyone is pretty happy right now, texting their friends every three minutes. I'm nervous and kind f depressed, I regret not making intimate high school connections, I have what I consider to be friends but am not sure whether they consider me the same. Tomorrow I have a full day of Orientation things that I know are going to be boring and monotonous but am too much of a pussy to skip out on because in those hours of people talking at you there may be one or two pieces of information that you hadn't been aware of before that makes all of the time you spent sitting around worth while. My roommates are planning on skipping out and going to WalMart to get the last of our dorm stuff. I got my class schedule yesterday. I have "New Testament History" at 8:00 in the morning (which sucks). Already there is something wrong with my laptop, the CD drive isn't working properly, what bad timing. I can't believe that classes start so soon, I don't want summer to end:( Except I do because my dorm doesn't have AC and its been really hot for the past couple of days:)

Well I should be going to sleep sometime soon, so...
Until next time...

Move In Day

So last night moved into my dorm. It's okay looking. Nothing spectacular but it could be alot worst. I can cover most of the ugly stuff easily with posters and my room is plain enough to personalize. We were a half hour late for the move in time. My dad huffed and puffed. He always has an "I told you so " attitude about us being late to places and events with our mom. He prides himself on a punctuality that isn't that spectacular. I see him sit down in a chair with a face that says, "If it were up to me we would have been here two hours ago". "Well" I thought, "If you hadn't chosen to go trapeezing off to New York with you ex girlfriend at the last minute I would have been moved in on Sunday, so you have no room to talk." Because of his spur of the moment trip happening on my planned move in date my mom has been really cold and spiteful towards him. To my dad going to New York instead of helping me move in for the Minority Orientation on Sunday shows where his priorities are.
Eventually we were let into the building and I found my dorm. Two of my quadmates (Allison and Allyson, both majoring in music education) had already moved in and on top of that had matching everything. "You see" my mom said, "You should have coordinated". "Yeah", I thought "I'd rather have all white sheets than match their hot pink color scheme". My mom then proceeded to wipe down everything with a lemon scented disinfectant that I could smell all the way down the hall. Moving in took forever. By the time we were finished it was 11:00p. I think my mom delayed so that she didn't have to say goodbye. The previous night I was in a sad and reflective sort of mood but quickly cured it with a viewing of La Femme Nikita and Lost in Translation. 
I'm going to miss you guys:( Keep on posting, it's my only way of knowing what you are doing. 

Until next time,

Oh Me! Oh My! OWU!

I'm so tired. I only have a week left before I have to go to Ohio Wesleyan. I've resigned to the fact that I have to go to college I just wish I had done more research in applying for them. I keep on getting notices in the mail from NYU... now that's a college I wouldn't mind going to...or would I? The recent weeks have been filled with shopping for dorm stuff, which is the worst. My dad is buying me a laptop as a graduation present. I don't like hassle so I'm going with either a Mac Book or a Mac Book Pro. I thought the Mac Book Pro was too expensive but now that my dad is going to New York with his girlfriend the weekend of me moving in to my dorm even though I had been asking him to go to New York for the weekend this summer for the past year (to see RENT before it closed) he always had an excuse as to why he couldn't, the exuberant price of the Pro might be a good form of punishment.
I miss having an excuse to see people. It's weird not going back to Graham. This summer had pretty much consisted of me laying around and watching movies. After not really trying for a month to get a job I stopped saying that I was looking for one. This is my last summer of being able to lie around, and I've enjoyed it to its fullest measure.

Anyway it's time for me to start being productive,
Until Next time...
