The First Week

Sunday:
Today was move in day and my first day sleeping in my dorm with my roomie, Paige. Saying goodbye to my family was probably the hardest part about today. Especially considering as soon as my mom left, so did my suitemates haha. So I hung out in my room for an hour before I realized how lame I was being. I called up my friend who lives in Cambridge & I went over there to watch the VMAs with him. At least I had somewhere to be and someone to talk to haha. After the VMAs I headed back to Sandburg on one of the shuttles that goes to all the dorms. I literally feel like I'm the only sober person on this campus tonight....that shuttle was insane, full of people yelling and falling on the floor drunk. Thankfully I found it more hilarious than scary when it probably should have been the other way. So I get back to the room and Paige is back from hanging out with her friends - thank God I'm not alone again. So we hang out for a minute and decide we're being lame again so we decided to go explore Sandburg. We got as far as the main lobby and realized that everyone was either coming back, leaving, or coming to a party from their dorm, so we just sat on the couch and talked. That lasted a few hours and then we rode the elevator a little (; We just hit the button for every floor and stayed in the elevator trying to meet people on every floor. Apparantly, nobody was using the elevator and everyone was in their rooms. Who stays in their room at midnight? Crackheads. So we came back to our room and decided to watch a movie. Unfortunately for me that movie turned out to be Paranormal Activity...I just about peed myself. Just kidding. In all honesty, the majority of that movie is pretty boring. It's just them doing random stuff all day. I started forgetting that it was a scary movie until they showed the nighttime scenes when the scary stuff happened. So I decided it wasn't that scary and watched the whole thing even after Paige fell asleep (she had seen the movie before). Apparantly it gets scarier as it goes on. And then the ending....well, you just watch it yourself. Honestly, I do reccommend the movie if you like to be scared a little. As for me, I don't like to be s cared and I didn't sleep much after watching it. But it's college....who sleeps?!

Monday:
Today not much went on. I didn't get much sleep last night so I've had a headache all day. I went to lunch in the union with Paige and her friend Ally and had a veggie pizza from Palermos that left me feeling bloated and gross. I've realized that eating in the union is what makes people gain that freshman 15, so I'll be eating out of my room for awhile. Not much else has happened today though.

Tuesday:
I just got the most amount of sleep I think I'll ever get in college. I went to bed early last night and didn't get up until like noon. We stayed in the room most of the day until around 5:00 when I got on the bus to go down to Marquette University to visit my wonderful cousin(: We basically just hung out all night with her and her roommate Cassandra. They are pretty freakin' sweet. I definitely have to visit them most often! We went to bed way too early this night though so that has to change! Well goodnight for now!

Wednesdsay:
So I attempted to take the bus back to UWM from MU this morning. However, my lovely cousin Alicia decided to put me on the wrong bus and I was taken around Wisconsin a couple of times. Just kidding it wasn't entirely around Wisconsin buuut Fon Du Lac, the ghetto of Milwaukee and then back through the MU campus again, through downtown Milwaukee and then finally to my building, Sandburg, which was the last stop that bus was making this morning apparantly. So I'm officially traumatized by the bus and will never take it again. Just kidding I lied. Because I'll probably want to visit Alley again even though she traumatized me. Whaaatever. After that I came back to the room and chilled with everyone. We literally didn't leave the room until our house meeting and to eat. We watched Eclipse in Paige's friend's room and now we're back here watching Dexter yet again. Not to mention the two boys who just knocked on our door at 1am to "make sure everyone was okay" Paige asked if they were drunk an they said they couldn't tell us that hahahaha the song I Love College wont stop playing over and over again in my minddd. Tomorrow is going to be a long day of meeting with my mentor and picking up all of my books! So I'd better get some extra sleep! Hahahahahaha....

Thursday:
Panther Welcome Day and my meeting with my mentor went pretty well today. It wasn't a one-on-one meeting like I thought it would be, it was a group of people (all architecture majors - I'm an education major) and my mentor, Joe. We took a small tour around to the different buildings and he answered any questions we had about the campus and stuff going on. It was actually pretty fun. At lunch we got free hotdogs and burgers and I was pleased to find that the raggae band that I went to see at Summerfest was playing right outside of the library. So that was pretty swagggg. The rest of the night/day was spent in my room with Paige and her friend watching Dexter and Jersey Shore. Oh P.S. WE FINALLY HAVE CABLE. I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!

Friday:
Basically I woke up, and went home.

Saturday/Sunday:
Most boring days ever because everyone in Wauwatosa hates me and doesn't want to hang out ): YEAH WELL I HATE YOU TOO TOSA!!!! D: WAAAAHHHHH.
