I'm back home.
Now it's time for someone else to post, please.

And now it's time for MY first official post from college.
This is my third day here and I guess I'll do the same thing Noelley did and just give a basic update/recap/opinion re: Fresno State.
Tuesday - I arrived at about 1:30ish, went to the Smittcamp office to pick up my laptop, but they informed me that they wouldn't be there until Wednesday morning at 7. So I left and went to go check in to the dorms. That whole thing went smoothly [other than my dad and I having to take about seven trips each, up to the second floor with all of my crap]. Once I got everything in, I started to unpack all my stuff and debate moving my furniture around. I settled on just leaving it the way it was until my roommate came so as not to start the year of with her yelling about how I rearranged my bed. At 6:00, Smittcamp ordered pizza for us so I went down to the Student Union to go mingle and eat free food. The mingling was slow in coming, I met three girls that were nice but semi ditzy. The boys, all maybe 30 of them [out of 75 total] were all huddled in the same corner of the room, away from all the girls. It was actually pretty sad. When we realized that the pizza wasn't going to replace actual conversation for the 2 hours that we had for dinner/mixer, people started to walk around and introduce themselves. No one else is from the Bay Area. There's a girl from Monteray, a guy from Modesto. And the rest of the cities I had never heard of before, for the most part. After the mingling, we moved down to the bowling alley at 8ish. We bowled until 10ish and then played pool. I beat some hot guy in air hockey and made friends with another attractive fella while bowling. At around 11:00ish people started to leave, but me and three other people decided to hang out for awhile. We first went to the one girl's brother's frat house to pick up stuff of hers that he had and then we went to FoodMaxx for an hour. It was pretty fun and we got to get to know each other a little better.
Wednesday was pretty laid back. I picked up my laptop at 9 and then went to get my parking permit. I checked out the prices of books [my god, what a small fortune] and then had to go to laptop training with Smittcamp folks. It was pretty boring. They told us early on how to use our wireless internet things. And they explained how we can talk to people [kinda like IMs] that had AirPort [some wireless connecty thing] even if we weren't online. Big mistake. We just talked to each other through out the whole training. Afterwards I went to Longs and then went to my cousins. I brought them back to the dorms to look around and then took them home. Then I went to bed at like 10:30. It was pitiful. I was sooo tired.
Today, I had to re-check in to the dorms to make it official. My roommate is supposed to come today, but I don't know when. And I'm sitting in the quad with a buch of other Smittcampers. We all have our laptops out and we look pretty lame. Either lame or like a wierd cult. [There's only a few places on campus that you can use the wireless internet at, and the quad is the closest to the dorms].
Overall, I like it so far. I like the people, for the most part. I like that in Smittcamp, we didn't have to put forth any effort whatsoever in checking in, doing all the registration stuff. They really held our hands through the whole thing. A few notes.
1) Of the 30 or so Smittcamp guys, about 10 are hot. I haven't seen the rest of the population because we checked in early.
2) I have soooo much free time. And I can't even host TV show parties because I have no TV yet [my roommates bringing hers]. I do, however, have about 25 movies that I've already lent out to people.
3) I've only eaten in the Residence Dining Hall once so far and it was just okay.
4) My showers are sooo much better than Noelle described hers.
5) The people that I've met are either overly nice or actually genuinely nice.
I have my room all decked out and I like it so far. There's more space that I thought there was going to be. I don't have a phone yet and I have yet to get a cell phone for down here. I've gotten used to living by myself, so I'l have to readjust for the roommate situation. I might get a job at the library with my aunt. My RA's seem really nice and they have good taste in movies.
That's pretty much it.
Sorry this post is so excruciatingly long. It's just that I either type everything out, or spend lots o' money trying to talk to all of you individually on the phone.
I'm having fun, so that's the most important.
I miss you guys and I'll talk to you once I get a phone.

Well, here goes, the first post FROM college on Random-osity... Today is my 6th day living at USF, but my first day of classes. I just got back from Sacred Quest, which is basically a world religions class, and I'm really excited about it because it is going to be so easy. Anyway, this is what i think of college so far:
1) after 6 days i have only seen 1 cute guy which is very dissappointing
2) i have way more time on my hands than i could ever use constructively, so i end up doing things like holding American Idol parties for all the girls on this floor who are obsessed with the show
3) the food is super gross
4) showering and dressing in a room with a bunch of strangers is weird
5) only about 1/3 of the people i meet are nice
But really, overall, college is not bad, but it's not like i thought it would be. I guess that's all..i'm off to get lunch with some girls form my floor. Good luck everyone, and have fun.

hey everyone. just read katie's blog. it made me laugh. is that mean? i'm sorry kate. i was just laughing because the post wasn't weird. her saying it was weird, and apologizing for it made it weird. anyhow, with more and more people leaving, i'm starting to get that same scared feeling. it's all very sad. i'm not liking this whole "moving away, moving on, growing up" college thing. okay, i have to go, but the next time i post, i swear i will post something a little more uplifting. promise. have a good day everyone.

I'm really scared. I should be excited, but I'm more scared than anything else. And I'm crying. Sorry this post is wierd.

I thought I'd better post now, before I don't have acess to a computer for two weeks. You see, my parents are leaving for Tahoe today and I, myself, are following in their footsteps/cartracks on Friday night. I will be in Tahoe for one week [returning on Saturday for that night's concert - yay!!]. Then I will be master of the house once again for a week, but without the use of a computer. So yea, you all won't be hearing from me on this thing for a while [unless I feel the need to post, in which case I could hypothetically use the computers at the library, but I doubt I'd ever feel the need to post that strongly.] So recap:
Friday the 2nd of August - Saturday the 10th : Katie is in Lake Tahoe
Saturday the 10th: Weezer, Dashboard Confessional, Rooney concert with Grouchy from camp
Sunday the 11th: breathe
Monday the 12th - Friday the 16th : Last week of Camp Tenderfoot/Potowatomi/Vida Nueva
Monday the 12th : Camp Staff party at my house
Friday the 16th : Guster, John Mayor concert with Jo, Gina [we still have ONE extra ticket if anyone is interested]
ATTENTION: Sometime during this week [Aug 12-16], we need to have a get together, sleep over thing - possibly wednesday night?? - because then I don't have to go to camp on Thursday until 2:30.
Saturday the 17th : My family returns.
Tuesday the 20th : I leave for college. Scary shit, huh.

It's all happening.
