Procrastinating
Hey!
It's the second day of classes and already I'm procrastinating on my homework! But I don't have another class until 3:05 today, so I've got some time to myself... then of course there's tonight!!
I am SO excited about my First Year Seminar class. This year I'm a mentor for 17 of the freshmen (the ones in my section of FYS). I am really getting into it. I met the students on Saturday for dinner and I think they like me... and I like them!! I was very overtired when I met them, so I was extremally hyper and just all over the place, but I think that it helped them see how excited I am not only about school, but about being their mentor! Today is our first class. I have great hopes for this class.
My first executive cabinet meeting is tomorrow night. Exec Cab is basically the leaders of the Student Association (President, VP, Chaplain, Senate Chair, Social Life Chair, Intramurals Director). I'm the Social Life Chair this year. I'm a little nervous about this meeting, because I have to tell them about what's going on in Social Life... and I'm running out of things to tell them (we had training week all last week, and we did a lot of sharing about what's been going on).
My room is all set up!! And it looks really good! I love it. Sometime I'll steal Sam's camera and put a picture of it up. It makes me very happy.
Well, that's enough procrastinating. Back to homework. :)

Room!!
Hey! If I had a functional camera, I would take a picture of my room - which is now officially only MY room!! My roommate came today and took one look at how small the room is and left, so I have the room to myself at least for this semester and hopefully for the whole year. I am so much more content with this sittuation. I have a pretty busy schedule this semester, and it's not going to get any lighter!! Having a place to escape to is going to be really nice for me. What a blessing!! Now the only challenge is deciding how to arrange the furniture so it looks nice! Horray!!

I made it!
I'm at school! I made it here around 4:00 (4 hours ago) and have pretty much been unpacking ever since. My family helped a TON with the packing and my mom stayed for quite a while after we got here to help me unpack.
My room is sooo small. I'm nervous about having a roommate in a room this size, but we'll see how it goes. I have a feeling I will end up moving by December again. Hopefully next year I can plan to have a roommate who I'm friends with - instead of getting stuck with one who I barely know. Oh, well. She seems nice, so it should go fine.
This week the Student Association has a packed schedule - down to the minute every day through Saturday. I'll be busy busy.
That's all for now :)

Testing
Hey! I'm just trying this out to see how it all works. My plan is to post blogs as I am at school, as a way to keep in touch with everyone while I'm in Rochester.
I have been trying to get ready to go back to school on the 19th. There is so much to do, though, with KC Camp and homework that I already have for one class, and of course Student Association duties. It's just a bit overwhelming. But no matter what, I'm leaving this Sunday! 6 days! I can't wait. I have been craving school - and not just the social aspects of it, but the schoolwork too! I feel like my brain has melted this summer.
Well, I suppose that's all for now. I need to get some cleaning done before a friend comes over and I have work to do besides that!
