Send me some stuff!

Finally Here

It has been a busy week to say the least...and I haven't even actually been at school for a whole week. The room is, well, its coming. It still has things that need picked up and needs a little cleaning. But everything, and everyone, is here. We had from Sunday to Wednesday to do absolutely nothing and it was fun.

Thursday I worked from 6:30a to 10a then had classes for the rest of the day.

Yesterday I worked a nine hour shift at the coffee shop, which is going quite well. Then we went to watch Everyday Sunday. It was a blast. To be honest, we probably didn't pay much attention to the band. We talked and had fun. Afterward, a couple of us wandered around campus for a couple hours just talking and laughing and doing nothing. Finally the night ended with Kelsey and I almost falling asleep on the futon watching an episode of Everwood.

Today will consist of homework, driving to Michigan Center to the place I got my ear pierced (the tragus!) and making sure its not infected or anything, and laying on the plaza and watching UP. Ali might also come up this weekend. She has Monday off...so it would be great. We will see!

I have been working on my homework the last couple of days--I have a TON of it already. My classes have been interesting and will be challenging, but so far I love them.

Next weekend I will head to Chicago from Friday to Sunday. Fun stuff. Pictures to come =)

A little closer still....

So it is finally Wednesday--and we get to move in Sunday. It is really a wonderful feeling. Everything for college is packed and ready to go--everything I have at home that is--which, unfortunately isn't much. The bulk of my college stuff stayed with me in Spring Arbor, which is nice because I don't have to haul it far, but there is ALOT of it. Oh, and Harriet's basement (Harriet is the 75-year-old retired missionary Madeline and I are living with), it is the messiest it has been all summer, no lie. We have stuff everywhere! We are trying to work on packing, but we still have different schedules, and this week, so far, has been fairly busy.

Sunday night, Kelsey, Madee, and I babysat for one of our professor's kids. He has a two year old and four-month-old twins. It was so much fun, but we got back late, and Kelsey decided to stay the night.

The next day we took a trip to check out our dorm room, walked around campus a bit, played some ping pong--Kelsey beat me as usual, but I didn't give up without a fight, we go to 21 normally, but I pushed her to 26 I think. Madee and I made chicken teryiaki for dinner, could have been better. Kelsey left, Hannah (madee and I's roommate from first semester) arrived and is staying with another old lady in the subdivision for the school year, and then we went to

bed.

Tuesday I had my first day of work at Jackson Coffee Company. It went well, and for my first day they had me working quite a bit. Usually a first timer works two hours on their first day--I worked six and a half. I had some grumpy customers, and some chatty ones, but it was good.

today I'm going to run some errands, meeting madee at the coffee shop, and then getting my ear pierced. I'm getting the little middle part done--I have wanted that done for YEARS.

The next day I work is Saturday, 10:30 to 1:30 I think. Then heading home for the night. And packing up for SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!! I will be sure to post my address on here as soon as i get it, so all of you who are reading this can send me packages =)
