Day 1... Survivin' and Thrivin'

It's been a CRAZY day. It seems like this morning was FOREVER ago though!

Genny had rush (sorority stuff) all day today, and so she left at like 7. I quickly went right back to sleep and didn't wake up till 10:15. That's a record. The latest I've slept all summer is 9. WAHOO! Maybe that's because I didn't go to bed till 1:30... haha :)

After getting ready (it doesn't take long... typical college station attire consists of Nike shorts and a t-shirt... Cha-ching!), I headed off to Walmart and Hobby Lobby. SO stinkin' excited there's a Hobby Lobby AND a Michael's in College Station! Although this could become a bad thing... haha. I met up at Firehouse Subs with some of my Impact friends, and had a great time catching up and just hanging out. I miss those girls and that awesome fellowship!

I came back to my dorm after lunch and just hung out. I put some things away, and started investigating how to get a mailbox. Going to try and finish getting that accomplished tomorrow, so after that--bring on the mail! I then spent some time in my dorm just relaxing. I don't have a problem at all being by myself for the most part, and since most of the people I know are all rushing, there weren't many options. I skyped with Kole to see how his first day was, and then ended up skyping with Carley for about 2 hours! Oh how I miss that girl! I talked with Carley until about 5:30 when Genny was supposed to be done with rush. After talking with Carley I might have taken a quick nap... For some reason I was getting VERY cho-sick. That place is my home, and I miss camp so much. I can't wait for rush to be over so that I can see those friends again! (They literally cannot have any social life during rush. As in, they aren't allowed to... STINKS!) I don't think it helped when I realized how limited my friend-list was, and when I realized that I'm in a totally new city where I really don't know anybody and don't know my way around campus, it wasn't fun! Luckily, right as I was beginning to feel helpless, Genny walked in from rush! It was about 8:00 at this point and I was STARVING, but we had promised to have a roomie dinner. We decided to walk over to Sbisa (about a 15 minute walk) which is THE best dining hall on campus. Well. Guess what? They closed at 7 during Gig'em week... LAME! We were close to Northgate at this point, and that was about our only option. We opted for Subway which was only like 5 minute walk from Sbisa. The guy helping us... MAJOR creeper. Luckily Genny is VERY good at talking to people and pretending like she cares what they are saying (I've been in CS about 24 hours and we were already being invited to frat parties.. Um no thanks). We got our food, found a table FAR away from the counter, and then laughed at the guy. SO glad that we are on the same page as far as that stuff goes! We walked another 20 minutes back to our dorm, and then began our SUPER FUN paint project!! If you know me at all (or have ever stepped foot into my room at home, or seen my bunk at camp) you know that I HATE blank walls. They terrify me. They have to be decorated! So, Genny and I decorated this AWKWARD (I know you are reading this Mom... [she HATES the word awkward!]), long, ugly, disgusting blank wall above our closets and made it much more "us". :)

I know I forgot to post pictures last night, so I'm going to post a couple dorm pictures, and a picture of our new wall!!
