Moving into Heritage Halls, and life

Hey, family. I just moved in and will give you an update on what's happening... I'm the only one in the apartment so far, and my stuff is scattered all over the place b/c I haven't really had a lot of free time since getting in. Tonight after moving all my stuff in, I went to an LSH sundae party and swing dancing lesson/fun time/amazingness. I got back and my roommate Madi Gordon, who was in town for a wedding reception, came to visit/meet me/check out the dorm. We talked for a long time with our RA (Resident Assisstant is what it stands for, I think - if not ask Mom.), Stephanie. It was very fun.

Earlier today I went to class, where Dr. Gong brought us donuts and played frisbee with us on one of our ten-minute breaks. Yesterday we played freeze tag. We're reading the book "Statecraft" by Margaret Thatcher, who was the UK's first female Prime Minister. It's pretty amazing. A lot of information to take in, though, especially because I don't know anything about modern world history (Let's just say that leaving for an 8-week maternity leave and not providing a lesson plan is very tacky. Cough cough Ms. Woods cough cough.) Anyway, life is peachy here at the Y. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is nice. And there are lots of tall guys. (wink wink dad - but hey, you shouldn't be worried about the freshmen - they're all leaving on their missions within the next year or so.) ANYWAY, moving on... Lots of friends, study groups are fun, and tomorrow I'm having cheerios that I already bought and milk from a vending machine for breakfast! I also didn't need to go shopping tonight because they actually put some basic stuff in here like tp, some basic cleaning soap and a sponge.... cool stuff.

I've also discovered that walking around the campus when you're not talking to anyone around you is a great time to call home. So be prepared for random calls in the middle of the day, everyone! Life is already extremely hectic, but I'm loving it. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with a bunch of classes, every day! I already am short on time, and I'm eating at the Cannon Center. We'll see how cooking plays into everything. I have the feeling that I'll be eating a lot of basics, like bread, raw fruit and vegetables, granola bars, and basic breakfast foods like yogurt and cheerios all the time. However, I suppose that's good for me. Well, however it turns out, I'm sure it'll be amazing! Like the title of my blog! I love you guys. See you later!
