Well... this is my first blog on here?!? before i have been using bravenet! it rocks there BTW! i love it! hehehe.... but for the last 2 days i have been at umass dartmouth's orientation! woot! it was kinda cool! 2 days... a 2 hour drive there and back.... it was ok....

on the 6th of july i had to wake up at 5:00 to get going for 5:30 on the road...i needed to be there for 8 am... so i drove and drove and drove till i got there. i went with my sister and my mum... so my mom drove and i slept in the back seat while Five Iron Frenzy, Stavesacre and Burlap to Cashmere were blairing in the stereo.
     then i got my stuff out of the car, met the former president of the USA in the parking lot!he rocks! and he is only what? 17 or 18 years old?!? hehe... he is going for engineering or something... so we walked down to get our dorm assignments and I met my room mate, and i kinda sorted out my stuff. then i turned my cell phone on and read through the schedule of things and looked out the window for a bit. then i met my group of people and realized us females were out numbered! that's right, 80% of the people in this orientation session were males and only 20% of us were females.
     So we ALSO found out that our groupn was the "DOGS" and our orientation leaders were Danielle and Mike. I was thinking --that weirdo with the stickers on from outside was my orientation leader! OH MY! so then they made me carry around a mascot for 2 days.... it was a dog called terrance or something.... so i threw it is my purse cause people did not want to take it. my roomate took the other mascot called samuel.
     after this we did some boring icebreakers and saw some interesting skits, and all kinds of crap... ate fun dip and listened to the bell.... and had lunch and then did more crap and saw more skits and meetings and things... then we had dinner and went to a meeting thing and then we went to game night--cheated got in the top 4 and tried to score $200! but hey who was NOT cheating?!? everyone was cheating... i also found out what kind of an isolted Troll I really am. not to mention the whole ordeal of handing over my liscence as a photo id so that my team could get a controler for the game! that had me nervous and kinda paranoid. my team did all kinds of wild stuff to get on the stage! ^-^ *arigato team mates!*
     after the game there was a dance party outside the dorms so i was like hey I'm going to sleep! so on the way up to my room i snagged a bag of chips and a diet sprite. i put on my pjs and went to bed. but my dorm was facing the speakers for the outdoor dance party, so i had to listen to it while falling asleep.... the phat beat, the diet sprite and my lack ofsleep created visions of winding roads.... weird views of cloudy skies and strange buildings behind my eyelids..... (I am completely drug free! lol) i had a headache too.... but that was besides the point.... i only wanted to sleep.
     when i woke up my cellphone was ringing, i got a wake up call from my sister. that was good. so i got up, chugged the rest of that now flat diet sprite--gross!! got dressed, burshed my hair, and rolled my sleeping bag and then! the noise began! DRUMMING! louder than you could have ever imagined! it was in the center hall way. so i was done in the room and walked over to the loo to take care of some buisness and then i walked to the center hall way and watch the OL Mike drum like a crazy man and i was like "i hope no one slept through that" and he was like "usually i walk through the halls playing the noise!" so to that i was like... I'm going to wait outside. so i got down in the lobby and heard about the bombings in london and talked to Sahn(hope I spelled it right). so we talked about break dancing and stuff and how i was a party pooper! then we all walked to breakfast and then went to some meetings for the morning. then we watch a skit and stuff, then had a meeting with out class advisors and then got my school id--another bad photo for my collection!! had lunch and talked with Sahn about anime and manga--the day before i finished battle angel's translation and was reading tokyo babylon's translation. so we had fun then, and i got Sahn and Jessica's email addresses. then we went for a slide show and stuff. then we left and got our gear and went for home.
     on the way home we stopped by some stores and i bought some dorm things and then we drove all the way home. the i watched L/R's episodes 1 and 2 and then i decided to come online for a bit.
     at the store i bought some new books one called "killing papparazi" and another called "praise for a frosty mustashe"?? i think, lol.... also i bought a CD for Jerry--i own a copy of the CD but i though it would be cool to send him a copy of it too. I also bought some more costume jewlery--yay! and a french cd? very odd. i will play it later maybe. I also bougt Anneliese a bookmark from my campus and a pin for jerry cause he sent me once before. ^-^
got to go see you later! doing emails and downloading more gackt!!
