| Today was a relatively laid back day. Even though I went to bed at 3:00ish, I woke up really early and found it hard to fall back asleep. Instead, I woke up and made a few phone calls, taking advantage of those free weekend minutes. I went to lunch around 11:00, where I met up with my roomate and his friend Kim, a theater major. She seemed pretty cool. At 2:00 we had our "floor meeting." Pretty much it was just to explain all the rather obvious rules and to make a list of what are living agreements are. Overall, it was boring. Later on, Theresa answered Sara's phone. We were both bored, so she decided to stop by with a friend named Allison. Allison was pretty nice too. She's from Georgia, so her accent is pretty nice. When sara woke up from her nap, she called me, and since we can only check in two guests at a time, matt went downstairs with me to check her in. He was also expecitng Kim to come over for a bit, so when Megan called wanting to chill, I had to ask my suitemate, John, if he could help us out. All-in-all, we had seven people in our room, and I guess the most we are allowed is six. Such rebels we are. Not too long after it was 5:30 and all of us that hung out the night before were supposed to eat dinner together. However, Tex and Kyle never showed, but about 8 other people must've been there because of people bringing other people. The more the merrier, right? That evening was pretty laid back as well. I did some laundry today. It's $1.75 to wash and dry a load of wash - but it's a big load. I ended up calling Ashley from Kzoo to see if she wanted to find out where all her classes were. Keith ended up coming too, and even though half the buldings were locked, at least we have a good idea where the classes are at. I find that Ashley and I are both equally worried about honors and maintaing our GPA because we need the scholarships to go here. A little later, I called emily. I was downstairs when John, my suitmate, and Danny (on my floor) asked me if I wanted to go on a walk with them. So we took a little stroll around campus, identifying which buildings were which and swinging by the lake. I really like Loyola's campus. It's the perfect mix of urban and serene lakefront. When that was done, I headed over to Sara's and we hung out before mass. yes, I went to mass. Loyola has this 10:00pm student-led mass every sunday. It was packed, but to be honest, it wasn't as exciting as I was hoping. I think they could learn a lesson from Fremont's Lifenet(?). But anyways, I signed up to be an eucharistic minister and to sing in the choir...possibily. I figure if I'm going to go anyways, why not be involved? I really like the fact that they leave religion an open option for everyone. For a moment, it seemed like emily thought they might've forced us to go to church. No way. It's not like that at all. In fact, we had an athiest speak at our convocation! Besides, a lot of the students who are catholic aren't even true practicing catholics. I just thought I'd update before I become swarmped with stress. Tomorrow is the first day and I have my "easy" classes (sarcasm, folks): Pre-Calc and Honors. At least I don't have to be there until 9:20. | |
