series of unfortunate collegiate events

So.... I finally succumbed to the personal pressure of getting a blog. I've been toying with the idea for a while, but my college life has been nothing short of the books series of unfortunate events that used to be super popular. I've always been awkward and unlucky. But these past couple days have just truly shown me how much of an awkward person I am.

Move in day sucked. Plain as that. Even though I was one of those prissy, fortunate girls that didn't have to carry anything up to my room (partly because I'm on the 5th floor so I would've died on the way up from pure exhaustion). I got there and my room was great & I had WAY more closet space than I expected. But my motto in life is "if your clothes fit in your closet & suitcase... you simply didn't bring enough clothes". My roommate wasn't there yet & I was feeling very apprehensive because we'd never met. All I knew is that her name was Teona and she was an albino African-American girl. Awesome, I know. And YES it is possible.

She was moving her stuff in and just headed out the door to go back downstairs and I was like "I'll just change shirts really fast". My logic failed me on that part because just as I took off my shirt her BROTHER walked in..... and quickly turned around and politely acted like he hadn't just seen me completely half naked. Needless to say I got really close to her family very fast. I learned later that she's like Charlie Chaplin in those silent films... she just doesn't talk.

That night I went to bed around 2 and was drained- physically & emotionally. I've never been away from home for more than 5 nights... so trying to grasp the concept of the fact that this is my new home... away from the one I've lived in for 18 years.... was freaking weird (for lack of better words). Then at about 3 that night we got woken up by this incessant banging on our wall which can only be described as what sounded like a headboard. Teona said she heard them, but thank goodness I was spared of that. So cliché for a state university, but yes. I'm 95% sure we got woken up by- how do I put this eloquently- ummm, a classy couple fornicating. ON THE FIRST NIGHT. they got busy fast. Sorry, I'm done putting that picture in your mind, I just wanted you to get a glimpse of my unlucky, slightly uninteresting life.
