orientation

so i've spent the last three days (still here - btw) in davis for orientation. i must admit, it feels like a lot more than three days. the morning/afternoon "activities" were far from interesting. basically, being lectured about classes, requirements, and rules we have to follow was....blah. but the night activities they had planned out were fun. wednesday night we had "rec 101". we went to the arc, this huge gym place to check out things they had to offer. i took this crazy intense sample stretching/ab workout/yoga class with michelle. the raquetball court was freaking amazing and fun to run around it. i plan to take a dance class there and also take advantage of the tennis courts!

thrusday was probably worse. having stayed up until 5 the night before, and jerri calling me at 630 for breakfast...i slept in until 1030 because i didn't have to take any placement testing. i had one meeting before lunch. and seriously, we spent the rest of the day in the science lecture hall listening to a shitload of info that no normal person should be able to retain at one time. and then dinner rolled around and i realized DC food makes me sick and that i cannot eat it every day. shiiiiit, yo. then, we had a super long advising session with our leaders for some reason. i missed out on a good hour of c.u. after dark. but i got to play poker, at least. even though everyone was beginners, no money was involved, and i was playing all kids of stupid. after that, me and michelle didn't want to stay in laben because seriously, people on that floor were kind of boring and went to bed at early hours.

so we stopped by kearny to have a pizza party and just interacted with cool people. what started out as ten fingers turned into pickup lines, racial jokes, and dane cooke. we called it quits at 2 and went back to laben. oh, and did i even mention that i never got a roommate? so, michelle spent the night at my dorm since her roommates were dead asleep and we still had to choose classes!! AHHH. that was pretty much the most stressful thing i have ever done. so many numbers and planning to do. so, i'm waiting to pick classes right now

i was finally able to connect to some wireless since davis is lame and doesn't allow wireless in the dorm rooms. blaaah.

love ya<3
