Today was the long awaited move-in day. The three of us and our trusty U-Haul truck packed up and headed to the middle of nowhere; the place where my college experience would soon begin. To put it simply, it was an exhausting day. But rather than bore you with tales of desk drawer organizers and instant oatmeal, I thought I would share some of my not-so-hot moments from today. My first Freshman Moment was after dinner. I picked up my devoured plate of steamed vegetables (be proud, Mother), and suddenly forgot where I was supposed to clear my dishes. I drew a complete blank. I proceeded to aimlessly walk around the entire cicumfrence of the cafeteria (TWICE) trying to figure out where I was supposed to put my dirty dishes. While contemplating my options, I spotted it. "DISH RETURN HERE". Apparently despite my 500 visits of the campus and its cafeterias, I failed to remember its state of the art dish retun conveyor belt contraption that exists in all of their cafs. I seriously don't know how I missed it. It is smack-dab in the middle.of.the.cafeteria. I ran to the magical Dish Return Room and got out of that DC as soon as I could before people started to notice the weird girl walking laps around the caf.
But no no no, of course that wasn't my only epic-fail moment of the day. Let's see; I walked for 7 minutes in the dark only to realize that I was going the opposite direction of my dorm room, I met about 3,000 people today only to remember 3 of their names, came verrry close to locking myself out of my room multiple times, and took 15 minutes to figure out how to open my mailbox, upon discovering that I had no mail.
But I have realized one thing: if you want to make friends, simply write "We have cookies." on your door. The men will flock to you.
Wish me luck, I'm about to brave the dreaded dorm showers, hop on my bike to go find my classes, and hopefully not get stuck in the middle of what I call, "Tour de France". Until the cows come home....Cami
