Dorm, Dorm, Dorm

I was apprehensive at first.
In the best sense, I assure you!

For example, and please refrain from making fun, the first night I stayed here I really wanted to shower. I had spent the entire day running from here to there unpacking and packing and going to meetings and floor gatherings and Target that come 12 I was sticky and VERY uncomfortable.

I wanted to shower but I didn't know if I should.
By this time, I hadn't really made friends with anyone who either lived with me or AROUND me so I sat there in my desk alone, confused and sticky.

"Should I shower?" I asked myself repeatedly.
"What if someone sees me?"

Well, when I actually planned to get into the shower I'm pretty sure there was an even going on for the new residents and the halls were empty and it seemed like the perfect time to actually get in their and shower. No one would know!

I think I pretty much texted all of my friends telling them I wanted to shower but I was scared to so they could reply with encouragement  I needed.

After like an hour, my butt got in that communal shower (really it's only 2 showers, and about 10 girls share it) and let me tell you that it was a LOVELY shower. The water was hot and despite the fact that the bathroom in itself is pretty darn COLD, it was a good experience. I've taken another shower since then and plan to take another one either tonight or tomorrow morning before class.

Oh, the endless possibilites!

Since I've arrived back in my dorm last Saturday there has not been one night without an adventure!
That first Saturday, I met Christina and Shannon and after some chit chat in my room and helping Christina unpack we dressed up and headed to the streets!

Not really.

There was a "party" going on  and after passing by and seeing it was a total DUD we got hungry, went back to our dorm to change into comfy clothes and embarked on a walking adventure at 1am to find subway.

Needless to say, that subway turkey sub was pretty darn good.

Last night, the night before class was about to start my lovely neighbors knocked on my door at 11pm asking if i was willing to play some Play Station in the common room.

WHO AM I TO SAY NO!?

After discovering we lacked the necessary cables we took to knocking on every single males dorm room door  in our entire building until we found some.

Let's just say we met a lot of  guys and got no cables.

UNLUCKY NIGHT.

We might try again today.

Oh, how exciting!
-D

P.S.
What about classes, you might ask?
lovely!

School

Hello!

Now that I will hopefully have continued full access to WIFI I will be able to continuously update my blog a lot more often. This past summer was lovely and relaxing and I can't believe that it is finally over. How did that happen? I sit here on my at my desk and I can't believe that two whole months passed by. It hardly seems possible. I felt like I did so much and at the same time not much at all.

School starts in a day, well. day and a half? I've taken to decorating my dorm with posters and pictures and small reminders of the room I left at home and I'm ready to embark in the new adventure of college. I think it will be a good experience but it no doubt takes some getting used to. Being unfamiliar with the people around you and somehow having to feel at home.

The dorms are lovely, better than I could have imagine but it doesn't make missing home feel any less difficult. I miss my bed and all that being at home meant. Late night coffee and sweet bread as well as late wake up calls and oatmeal for breakfast.  College will for sure be an adventure I feel I've been ready for for so long and part of me is overjoyed that it is finally here.

Time has flown by and I'm sure it will only continue to do so classes start.

Here is hoping this first week of school goes well!

OLD NEW POST about Move In Day

August , 2011

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve updated my blog and the reality that I’m really, really off to college is beginning to dawn on me. How Cliché, huh? I’ve done most of my dorm room shopping, my bedding set is purchased as well as the necessities such as hangers and laundry baskets and little baskets for the bathroom things. Between orientations and textbook ordering and back to school shopping the dream I held for a while is finally becoming reality and I’m pretty darn excited. Dorming will be something that I will definitely have to get used to but I’m sure it will be a very interesting experience to say the least.

Last week I got a mini package in the mail letting me know in which building I will be dorming and the name of roommate. Is it bad to say that I went into stalker mode to try and find out who this person was? Haha Maybe she isn’t really involved in cyber space or maybe she is and is very good and keeping her things private, either way I couldn’t find anything on her.  I hope she is great and that the time I spend in Fullerton will be great. I have no doubt it will be if I make it so.

I move into my dorm this week.  I’m nervous because for the first time I will be really, really officially on my own. No one will be making dinner and calling me to help cook and set up. If I’m honest I’m highly discouraged that the floor has to share one kitchen. My one consolation is that if I get crazy and decide to cook I can always do that still, with my own dishes and things of course…does that mean that I have to cook for the whole floor? Oy Vey…I mean. I wouldn’t mind. I can see myself now..hahah making announcements on the floor. “I’m making dinner tonight! 5 bucks if you want to eat!” Is that wrong? Profiting off my cooking skills? Just Kidding.

Here is to hoping that my move in day goes by smoothly and that my roommate is lovely as I can only hope and imagine her to be.

Long over due.
