First Day of Orientation and First full day "on my own"!

Ahh, day 1 COMPLETED! The first half of the day is nothing interesting... If I were to explain it you would probably fall asleep and then never come read my blog again! Sad. :( So we will just say that it was 6 hours of "orientation". I always pictured it as something fun with games and ice breakers and "meet you'r new class" kind of stuff! Not so much... Incredibly boring, lectures about rules, policies, handbooks, what their purpose is, what our purpose is, blah blah BLAH!
That was painful! BUT afterwards I got to go see Jaimee and Morgan's fabulous appartment finally!! We got hungry and after separate errands we met up at the mall! I bet you can get what we got for dinner... CHIPOTLE! Nom nom nom! Jaimee and I discovered that we both are obsessed with Chipotle AND that we both get the exact same thing! Crazy, I know. Burrito bowl, rice, steak, pico de gallo, cheese and sour cream! YUM! We even got Morgan to order it and she said that she liked it! SUCCESS! Jaimee and I warned her that it might just seem okay now, but soon it will become a food group in your daily diet! After that we headed back to their home where I learned how to play poker! I have been taught a few times, but I have never understood anything that I was doing. Since I had some amazing teachers tonight I learned how to play and it was so much fun! I learned that Jaimee likes to bluff and Morgan would rather "fold" after the first 3 cards are laid out than to wait and see and end up "waisting chips". We had a slight intermission to take a walk to CVS and get some ice cream! Morgan and I were way to impatient to wait for the "walk" sign so we just ran across the street! Jaimee was sadly left behind at the corner and was very quick to inform us that we were Jay walking and we could get pulled over! I couldn't stop laughing seeing her back at the corner alone! After we got back and had our ice cream and continued our game of poker with some music, Jaimee learned that Bruno Mars was white! Ahh so funny (: Such a fantastic first full day with two new friends that I can't wait to spend more time with! I got home arouned 10-10:15ish. Tim and Cara were already in bed.... :o I decided I was just going to go to my room and shut the door.. I'm sure they heard me come in, right?!
Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds for my new college adventure!

Story for the day:
So Morgan, Jaimee and I were sitting in our last part of orientation just waiting for the clock to hit 3 o'clock. The guy talking pulls up a slideshow and starts talking about who knows what. A few minutes in I hear a girl behind me and a row over open a bag of Fritos and starts chomping away at them! I could smell them from where I was sitting and she didn't seem to mind how loud she was being with the bag.. or the chewing. As the slideshow continues I notice that she is making comments about it and the little cartoons and sound effects that are taking place! It was hilarious! A little cartoon comes up and she just goes, "uh uh.. oh no he di'int.... no" and then a sound effect goes off "no, no please no.." Then more cartoons and she just says, "I just cant take these pitures no more!!" I could barely hold myself together!!! Morgan, Jaimee and I couldn't stop bringing it up afterwards! She was just so funny making all those comments during his presentation! "no.. oh no.." I hope she is in my classes!(;

First Night


So, tonight is my first night as Cara and Tim's roomie! I don't think any of this college stuff has completely set in yet... I thought it would when I left my house, that didn't happen. Again, I thought it would happen when I arrived and got my room set up! Nope, still didn't. I had decided it would happen when I watched my family drive away and I walked back into Cara and Tim's apartment without them. Now I am sitting here on my laptop in my new room wondering if and when it will ever set in!
I am so thankful for all of the skype calls I have gotten! It helps me get through the day being able to see my friends faces! So please continue these calls! I am planning on always leaving my skype up so that anyone can call and if I am free or home I will answer. I would also love to just talk on the phone, text, email, or even snail mail!! If you ever feel the need to send me a present or a letter please contact me and I will give you the address!
Thanks for reading!
Story For The Day:
I am going to be doing a funny/sad/interesting/anything short story for the day every day that I Blog! Which will be whenever I find time..
Before I left my house on Sunday my neighbors decorated my truck which included car paint saying "honk for hott nurses!" Well today my dad had to drive it around to auto parts stores to fix it up and when he got back I saw that the back window was all smeared! I asked him what happened and he said, "oh it was awful! A gang came and erased it!" I laughed and found out later that as he was driving around many people were honking and then driving up next to him and craning their necks to see who was driving and he started to get really annoyed so at AutoZone he asked for a paper towel and the employees all watched as he erased the Honk sign from the back of my truck! I guess there will be no more honking for me!
