Cereal, No Milk.

Move in day was yesterday. I'm here, I'm confused, and I'm just a little bit excited.
First morning experience was a little frustrating - I have a box of cheerios (I love cheerios, I could marry cheerios and have a happy relationship with cheerios until I die. Seriously.), but I have no milk.
...
No milk.
But hey, I think, this is college, and there's a general store no more than a five minutes walk from my dorm, right? So I put on a pair of sandals and go out for milk in my PJ's. Go college.
I get there, however, and they don't open until 11 in the morning...
Why did I wake up at 7AM again?

Move in was pretty hectic, but I think we got most of it finished without to big a hitch. Some orientation stuff was left in my dad's car, but I think I can get it replaced (hopefully). My computer is up and running, my room is in order, and I have a wonderful piece of artwork hanging on my door:


My dorm is still a bit messy right now, still haven't found a place for everything and all that. We're going on an adventure today - the orientation gods are sending us to a ropes course. This should be interesting.
Last night they had a big "Welcome to the honors college" party, which included karaoke, so naturally I dove right in. Broke the ice too - first song sung. Before I left the party I rickrolled everyone, so I think people know me now. Hopefully I made more friends than enemies.

Oh well. I can't eat breakfast in my room today, so I guess I'll just head over to Gracie's (the mess hall).
Still not used to the whole college thing...

EXCITING! :D You're in COLLEGE. That is so weird. And awesome. But psh, having cereal but no milk is probably one of the most unfortunate #firstworldproblems that ever was. I'm sure Rickrolling everyone made a fantastic first impression. :)

Cheerios WITH MILK? That sounds absurd to me. Eat them dry, best way to go, nomnomnom *goes to get Cheerios*

I (still) think the whole college business of the US is very interesting. It's crazy that ya'll just get up and go. But it looks like you have a place to yourself? That's probably good. (It would be good for me XP)
