Saturday was my first real day here. Claire and I woke up to a very chilly room and got around for brunch with the girls. After, we all decided to venture out into Lawrence to get supplies at Target (which was a real adventure!) We spent the better part of an hour searching for crates for me.... which we did end up finding lol. We unfortunately, forgot our Christmas lights... so we will have to get those next trip.
After stocking our dorms, we came back and chilled in Claire and I's room. Somehow, our room is the party room and everyone is always here... we even pretty much adopted Juli from the 5th floor where all she does is shower and sleep... and I believe that will eventually change. (:

| Juli and I at Tradtions Night! |
We lucked out and ended up with this amazing RA (who is also a Human Bio major from Wichita) and she told us to go to the Ice Cream Social before Traditions Night, where they send us all down to the Stadium to learn about and how and when to do the traditions of KU. So we go and get free t-shirts, bags, and above all else... food. It's why every freshmen gains so much weight... the free food. (I won't be gaining a THING here... too much walking.. my calves already are looking way sexy. lol) And again, after, they sent us to a free concert! There was crowd surfing and water slinging and Baby Jay Surfing... incredible! I will definitely never forget my first college concert.

And oh yeah.. I got told hi by Bill Self... My life is COMPLETE!
Sunday was pretty similar. We had brunch and then the girls took personal class tours around campus and I went to an Honors Program thingy... yeah, show's how much I paid attention. But it was fun. I met my Honors Seminar group and professor and assistant. And of course, I got to see some old friends. (: Which I am slowly figuring out is my true calling in life: meeting people! After, we decided to go eat dinner at Oliver's dining hall where Juli had a friend. We ended up staying over there for hours playing Battle of the Sexes and Never Have I Ever with the guys from that floor. It was a blast and AGAIN, I saw an old friend from high school... (: It really is wonderful here and I already call it home... much to my family's chagrin. :P
Today was my first day of CLASSES! And if you know me, you know how much that excites me! Class is what I do best; it was the social aspects of being in a new place that worried me… and that turned out great, so I am set! I started out leaving with Juli at 7:20 for her 8 AM class. I chilled in the Union until my 9 AM Chemistry class. After that, I went to hang out in the Union again until my 11 AM English class… and then I was done. Just like that…
COOL!
I stayed near the union because I was eating lunch with the girls at 2 after Andrea’s last class. We then went to the SUA’s office to pick up our money saver cards and sign up for SUA. Then it was off to the bookstore to pick up my textbooks… which of course were in the biggest box in there! Sam, Juli’s friend, was kind enough to carry it to the bus and into my room for me. 11 (plus the one more I had to buy for English) books are heavy!
Tonight was especially funny because Hawk Week sponsored a Hypnotist at the Lied Center. I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in my life! I was literally holding on to Juli laughing and crying at the same time. I would love to be hypnotized someday… as long as I am not in front of a crowd! I saw some very interesting things tonight…
Welcome to College! (:
PS: Tomorrow is the second half of my schedule (ha. two classes!) and a big long to-do-list with the girls... Yep! I still make To-Do-Lists!! More blogs to come.. especially since I was dubbed the Carrie of my four girls! And I am getting a surprise this week.. a REAL reason to blog!! (:
