Dorm life...

These are pictures of my dorm the day after I moved in...



This evening my roommate's friend came over. She's going to spend the night here. I guess she'll sleep on the futon...

She and Jenna decided they were going to go to Oakwood mall... so they invited me... so I went. First we went to Applebee's for dinner. I have to say that from what I had seen of Jenna's friend, (for some reason I still don't know her name...) I was quite surprised that she did not have something to drink.... but she didn't, thankfully- in fact, I was the only one who had anything other than water... I had raspberry lemonade... but then, my dinner was 5.99 in all,,, and theirs were each at least 7.99... I had really good tomato basil soup... I think next time I will order a bigger bowl of it... it was only 2.99..... whatever.

When we had arrived at applebees, we were given a 15 minute wait... so the others decided we should go back to the car to wait. So we did. Which was not all that pleasant, because the whole time we were in the car, the entire evening, really really loud rock music was blaring. Now I know for SURE that the super-conservatives are wrong when they call the kind of music I like "rock" music.... this stuff sounded like all hell had been given a microphone, and was screaming out of the speakers... It was so loud my whole head felt like it was vibrating, and all I could think about was how damaging this was going to be to my hearing... and then occasionally I would think of a movie... because some of the songs were from movies I had seen... never listen to the words of the songs... but the sounds are matched with movie scenes in my head, I guess... But anyway, while sitting in the car at applebees, my thoughts changed... and I laughed at myself, as I realized that the nerd I am, my idea of using that time,would have been to go across the parking lot to OfficeMax, and browse their selection of pens and notebooks... :-)


My roommate seems very nice, so that is good. She has her stuff spread over 3/4 of the room... but my stuff still fits, so I guess I don't mind that much... She seems really spacey sometimes, and then other times, just sleepy... but then, she has like two swimming practices a day... so it's no wonder she is so slender, and may be tired... she's skinnier than my sister Brita...but just as tall, if not taller. I think. Maybe I'm wrong...

So far living in the dorms has been all right... I don't know what I'm going to think once there are classes... man- I hope by then our heater is fixed.... it bangs and rattles and screeches and squeaks... awfully, whenever you are trying to listen to something, or go to sleep...


I feel like I should be writing more... but that is all that will fit under this post. I will have to write under another heading to add more.... maybe later...
