Ok. I’m settled in my dorm, and I have a bit of time for hanging by myself. I haven’t been alone for more that a few minutes since I got here

So far, I like it here, even without the air conditioning. Fans make it better. My bed is comfy, although difficult to get up. I got a loft bed, and I’ve only hit my head a few times I’m finding the best layout of my stuff so I remember where it is, and figure out how to put things where I can reach them from my bed. I have too many essential electronics that can’t all fit on my shelf! iHome, light, fan, cell phone, iPod, iPod touch… Those and my contacts make it very crowded up here.

I’ve been here three days now, and had my first college party last night. Just a dance outside the student union. It was fun, though. For as few people as were there, there were enough for three separate conga lines Because no party is complete without a conga line. I met a few students doing their study abroad from China, and my friends and I taught them the standard American heartland dances: the Cha Cha Slide, a bit of Thriller, and, of course, country line.

As far as school stuff goes, I got my books today, which only came to around $500, which is MUCH better than I was expecting but still the most money I’ve ever spent at one time. Classes start on Monday, and my first class, Astronomy, is at 10:10AM. Yay! I don’t know when my roommate’s first class is. Hopefully not 8:00. Her alarm is one of those beepy ones that scare people awake, rather than gently awakening them. Personally, I’d rather wake up to a harp or a bell tower from my iPod than a fire alarm-like buzzer.

I shall update more later!
