The Student has landed!

The local time is 5:08, the current weather conditions are high 70's with heavy cloud cover, and in todays news, I'm finally here! After waking up at 6:30 (by the way, nobody should be up at 6:30), I promptly got ready, packed up my few belongings from the hotel, and spent the next 5+ Hours unpacking. To believe what stated as a random collection of necessities and accessories piled onto a pool table in my basement could actually well furnish a small cardboard box. After a run to Target, for some last-minute items (futon, rug, sticky-hooky things), I am actually very proud to call this sad excuse for a broom closet my dorm.

I'm so exhausted from moving in, I literally sat in my dorm for about an hour and just tried to soak it all in, but I'm not sure if I fully understand what it means to be here, right now, in this situation. Change is a process that requires time, I suppose. But lo'behold, just as boredom curls its cold fingers around my weak attention-span, I hear noises outside, and before I know it, we have an impromptu meet-n-greet. Today I met some guys who are beyond hilarious. There's "Q" the athletic, outgoing, always peppy guy who could make a statue bust out laughing, and Bahr, the always surprising, slightly shy, but very cool, nice, normal kid. I guess thats what I learned about my new home, despite all the labels, judgements, and preconceptions, at the end of the day, there are bound to be people just as crazy and abnormally normal as me.
I have a meeting at 8 with the dorm, hopefully I'll meet more cool people like Bahr and Q, Kevin has been very welcoming and helpful, but like a good roommate has a separate life and doesn't require me to be his best friend. We get along, thats all I ask for. If we become good friends, that's great. If we stay this way, I'll be more than happy. Jesse has been cool too, we hang out, but also aren't attached at the hip. Tomorrow is my first full day here, let's hope hilarity ensues.
