...wasn't a good day, yeah.

At 10 am I went to go do my laundry. For the most part, things went smoothly, until I went to go dry my clothes. I put my clothes in a dryer and waited until the time elapsed to come back. When I returned, my clothes weren't dry. I thought that I had used too low of a setting, so I set it for another hour at a higher temperature. Came back again. Clothes were still damp. Something was likely wrong with the dryer, so I used a different one. Well, while my clothes were actually drying, a really bad storm came through that wouldn't really let up. As a result, I had to wait a couple hours until I could pick up my clothes. What should've taken about two hours ended up taking about seven. Ugh. Also, I'm pretty sure there was previously a sign that said that the dryer was broken, but there was only some tape remaining, making me think someone took the sign off prematurely. Oh, if that hadn't happened, I would've had a much better day!

The storms yesterday ruined multiple events, including rush events, a recreational event and the floor meeting that I went to. Rush events had to be cancelled, along with the recreational event. However, the floor meeting was relegated to a meeting that stayed inside the hall. It was nice, in fact I learned a lot that I didn't know before and I got to meet some of my floormates. Though, few people showed up because of rush. Ugh, I just wish I had been able to house in a dorm with fewer girls that were rushing! Thankfully after Bid Day things will slow down.

Then there's my roommate. We don't communicate much and that's kind of a problem. I asked her if she wanted to go to dinner with me, but she said she had a friend in town who she was going to dinner with. I went to the dining hall for about an hour, to come home to my roommate in the room. Now, I'm going to preface this by saying that I know that what I'm about to say is going to be irrational. Did my roommate actually go somewhere? She could've. That's the confusing thing about her; she'll just slide out of bed and leave sometimes, and then come back in the same clothes. It's just kind of weird; once I'm out of bed, I'm not going back under the covers until it's dark. Maybe it's just because I wear jeans all the time. Last night, she turned the lights off around 9, but began doing something(?) with her screen making it hard to fall asleep. She didn't do this any other night though, I guess that will be a weekend thing.

Today I'm going to a nearly all-day event. I hope to have some fun, learn new things, and meet new people!

Tchau,
