Party On Wayne

hooked up with tool. dunno if that was a mistake or not, but i'm sure i'll figure stuff out. he doesn't want to be in a relationship, and he told me that up front. i'm glad he told me that, but it sucks because we have SUCH chemistry and i'm like GAH I'M FRUSTRATED AND I WANT A BOYFRIEND. good stuff, eh?

going to a frat party tonight! i won't drink anything, but watching drunk people get smashed should be a party. wahoo. i'll let you know how it goes!

rain rain GO AWAY!

Went out to the National Zoo. BIG MISTAKE. it was raining. loads. and it sucked.

went with 3 floormates plus tool. tool kind of put his arm around me at times... but it was just weird because he wouldn't do it ALL the time. it was kind of scarce. i didn't like the scarce. but whatever.

i am now comfy in my sweatpants and a new tshirt. the outfit i wore is soaked to the core, along with my umbrella. but my umbrella's drying off in the hall. :P

now to figure out dinner plans along with plans for partying tonight. might go out with my floor plus tool, but i don't plan on drinking. i don't even like liquor. so i shall observe people getting smashed. voluntarily. should be fun. XP

Found somebody....

Today was convocation. ridiculous. got free baseball hats. still long though. ran into a hallmate that i met @ orientation (different floor), forgot how cute he was.

anyway, after orientation i went to lunch with a floormate or two and one of my floormates brought a friend. i'm going to call this guy "tool" because that's what he is. he called me one too, and even though we tease each other we hit it off extremely well. we have been constantly texting, we went on a target run after the different schools within AU had their meetings. SOC had ben and jerry's ice cream, and i got a free t-shirt. hooray for shirts. :P

on our way to target, I ran into a girl who i knew from high school. she looked good, talking about getting some booze and having fun.

target run was good. tool and my floormate made a fool of themselves in 3 different locations, the metro, "potbelly's" and target. My floormate (a girl) and i just kind of wandered off on our own so we could actually get our shopping done. we hit up a restaurant called "potbellys" after and it was decent. i sat next to the tool. came back from target, watched "Superbad". not a huge fan of it, but sat next to tool again.

then we went to the quad to play capture the flag, but found out that it was ultimate frisbee instead. i suck @ frisbee, but whatever. had fun getting sweaty and gross. worked off the ice cream from the SOC social.

then we played scattagories, tool had his arm around me a little bit when we were on the same team. hooray. we kind of had our arms around each other at random moments in time... and it was kind of fun. he's from the same area as i am, so that's pretty cool too.

fire drills aren't that big of a deal.

FLOOR MEETING TOOK 2 FREAKING HOURS.

apparently people like to fixate on fire drills/procedures. why? who knows.

Anyhoo, after the floor meeting, i went to the ampitheater (aka right outside my dorm) and the movie "I Love You Man" was playing on this giant inflatable screen thing. kind of cool. they had free popcorn, candy, and soda. :) we also got free cups with the popcorn. yayy free stuff.

then i went to the lounge and played scattagories with a few floormates + a guy from another dorm. he seemed pretty cool. XP he was definitely funny. =P

Yeah, so today is congregation or something absolutely ridiculous. attendance is "mandatory", so no way of us getting out of it.

Day 4 Adventures

Didn't get any command strips for my posters/other stuff at the bookstore. The books that my roommate ordered weren't ready yet, but that's okay.

Went down to Georgetown with the same group as the other day, minus one girl and plus two others. So it was interesting, went window shopping (others actually bought stuff). also got some ben and jerry's ice cream. yum. =D

Not sure what my plans are for tonight, there's a floor meeting that i'm required to go to and then i might go see a movie in the ampitheater (outside) but yeah. i'll figure things out.

Day 4

Went to bed around 2 am. That was fun. Got up around 10:30 this morning. Haven't really been anywhere besides the bathroom so far. I might go to Georgetown with the same group that I went out with yesterday. We didn't get around to Georgetown yesterday because we were all tired and hungry.

So i've been thinking about the boy I met on the bus (transfer boy) and this other guy who I met last night at the Quad after Dark. He was very cute as well, and I'm like, wow. Guys here are attractive. I just wish my hair was longer because sometimes i feel like my haircut seems too short, aka looks like a guy with long hair. :( Oh well, it'll be back before I know it.

Going with roomie #2 to the bookstore to pick up her books. i'm going to grab sticky stuff for the walls while i'm there. i'll inform you of my journey later on.

Still Day #3

After dinner, a few hallmates and myself went down to the quad after dark. I didn't expect to be anything interesting, but they had this whole spiel laid out for us. It was like a carnival, but awesome. They had music close to the library and a mini-dance area (just on the grass in the quad) along with multiple inflatable bounce things and free food. They also have a few clubs/organizations (i think mostly religious) there to try and get new people.

That was a blast, and then we all went back up to the common room to play scattagories. YAY SCATTAGORIES! One of my favorite games ever. XD Many people ended up leaving late, so we played poker (aka me and two male hallmates) and we had fun. i shared AVPM with them... i couldn't resist.

We might hit up target for some batteries and food and such. That will be a trip.

Day 3

Today was good (so far, the day is still young)

Went to breakfast with both my roomies, then we came back and one went back home for the night. (she lives close) The other took a nap while i stayed holed up in the room, debating on what to do for the hour or so before we were going to venture off to DC.

So a group of 8 (including myself) took the shuttle to the metro. while on the shuttle, i met this really cute guy, but i had to get off before we could talk about any parties we were going to that night. *sigh*

Anyway, the metro was an exciting adventure... aka now i know what to expect whenever i want to go into town. we went to the Smithsonian Natural Museum today and wandered around there. then we walked by the Washington Monument and then walked to the White House. didn't actually go in it of course, but still had a good time. We all walked to the metro (again) and went back to campus for some grub, and we're planning on hitting up the quad after dark, along with maybe hitting up a few parties. I'll let you know how the night turns out!

Still Day #2

Tuesday. Oh man.

So you know how I met my roomie #1, well, roomie #2 moved in later today... and brought her whole family.

It was a grand old time.

Roomie #1, friend from another dorm, her roommate, and myself went to lunch together.

Then we proceeded to hang out in the common room on our floor, where we met two fellow floormates.

They were nice and friendly, and another floormate came in to read our assigned reading. No progress with her though.

I met a ton of people today, lots of them are really friendly, which is good. :D Now to just remember their names.

Tonight was fun too. We were chilling in the common room where we played spoons, and then proceeded to play taboo with a bunch of people on our floor.

They were from "university college". Still had fun. After taboo madness, 7 or 8 floormates decided that they wanted to learn the dance to "Jai Ho" from "Slumdog Millionaire"

This was very amusing to watch.

I laughed a heck of a lot. So I must be having a good time. :D

Roomies are here!

Today, I was just chilling in my dorm room, watching AVPM, and roommate #1 moved in. Hooray! She's unpacking stuff now, but she's pretty cool. we hung out all day today along with two girls from movie night in another dorm. We went to lunch and just hung out really. Walked to our dorm and played cards in the common room while roommate #2 moved her stuff in. There we met a few people. Hooray, I'm getting to know people! This is so exciting!

There's this program at AU called "University College" and it's basically a group of people who take 5 hr classes on one subject and discuss it and things like that. It's like a seminar. The other end of my hall has one of the classes full of University College students, and so they call my side "the other side". We're apparently shady like that. They all hang out and apparently sleep together and hate each other by the end of the year. Fun times, eh?

Moving day

Today I officially moved into my dorm room. It's somewhat empty without my roommates, but they'll be here soon. Roommate A brought stuff in yesterday but is going to finish unpacking and such tomorrow, and Roommate B is just moving in tomorrow.

I bought my books today, and they were ridiculously priced... as most textbooks are. My family helped me move in and we unloaded the big items and made my bed and stuff. I just got rid of the clutter on my bed after they left.

I was a little nervous about getting to know people, but I met someone who was involved with their colorguard in high school (like me) and we ended up watching a movie in her room with her roommates and some of their other friends. They were all friendly and it was a good night.

i'm gonna hit the sack because i don't know what time the dining room is open til and i want to make sure i get some good eats if i'm gonna go explore DC a bit with my colorguard friend.

Nervous? Not as much, but still when i'm trying to meet people.

Excited? Yeah, i'm getting there. :)
