Rawr!

Today I moved into my dorm! I am officially a college student. That feels pretty spiffy... and my dorm room looks spiffy too! The only problem is that I don't have enough storage for all those clothes I brought.

You may be wondering what this whole experience is like. Well, when my family and I arrived, our van was practically mauled by over-zealous sophomore alpha leaders cheering about the wonderfulness of APU. Then more alpha leaders whisked away my stuff once I told them where my room was. Unpacking was almost as crazy as packing. It didn't help that there were at least eight people in the room all at once.

Orientation events were fun of course. Highlight of the night was "A Day in the Life" produced by the alpha leaders. It was a collection of skits parodying the APU experience - boys trying to impress girls by wearing deep v-neck shirts and playing worship songs out on Trinity Lawn, riding the trolley with people who sing annoyingly, the problems that occur when guys and girls use the term "DTR" (male definition: Del Taco Run; female definition: define the relationship), and the exploits of ring-by-spring and M.R.S. degree girls.

It's all delightfully crazy. Go Cougars!
