Day 1

And so it began. Yesterday my parents dropped me off, I checked in, got moved in (with the help of my family), and then met up with the other 199 students. I got hooked up with my cluster and we all introduced ourselves and did "ice-breaking" games. It was pretty much standard procedure, and everyone seemed pretty nice. I also met our RAs, Tommy McCormack and Anda Fox. They were really awesome and seemed super cool.
The DC (dining commons) deserves a paragraph of its own. This place has at least 5 different counters at which different food is served every day, three times a day. And since we're part of the program we get to eat there for free! Everything that they serve there is really great, and almost everything has a vegetarian option. There is also a dessert bar, and.... wait for it.... an ICE CREAM MACHINE!!!! It's so awesome!
I met my roommates, who were all really nice. We got to talk a lot when we set up our laptops to use this super-fast internet. I'm talkin' 2mb/s down! (looking back at that in a few years will really antiquate this) And at this point I it's way to late to talk about today, so I guess I'll be updating things a day after they happen.
Anyways, that was yesterday, watch out for a post tomorrow!
