PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Man, what a day. Up at 6am, workin by 7, all the way through around 3pm, then helpin people bunk their beds and in general get their rooms organized until around 6. Had an absolute blast though, met even more people than last year. Its funny, I expected "smaller" people, given I'm now third year and all the first years are those I help out, but they seemed like they were all my age, go figure. Maybe I'm just a kid at heart.

Met someone from my high school, that was pretty random, turns out she knows my brother (two years younger now at CSULB). Ran into some old friends who I knew from last year, that was neat, a lot of them have changed (in all the right ways of course).

As a whole, I must say the female entering class is much better looking than last year. At least in my building anyway. Seemed friendlier too, or maybe it was me that was friendlier, who knows. Last year there were about 2 people in the whole building that I felt were worth a second glance, this year is definitely not quite so dreadful. We'll see how it goes. Tends to not matter how terribly gorgeous I think anyone is, if they don't think I'm worth the time of day. Think positive, though.

Waiting here for Deja Vu to call me back, had a bacon cheeseburger and Sprite delivered, dining commons not open tonight.

And no sooner do I type the words... (takes a big bite of a mozzerella stick). Mmmmmm.

Not the healthiest food in the world, but I've never been one to complain. Looking forward to playing racquetball again and gettin in the pool... Could probably drop at least ten pounds in the first month, maybe fifteen.

Course, then there's like classes to attend and stuff. Did the math again on my grades, had been kind of bumming out all summer because I wasn't sure if I could mathematically still get into my major (certain gpa required in the premajor classes) but it turns out that with a stellar performance this quarter it could happen...

I swear, at least seventy five people asked me if I was the r/a today... I'm wearin the bright red shirt all the Move In Crew were wearing, but I don't see myself as looking all that offical or anything... Funny thing is it turns out my r/a is a sophomore this year, a year below me. Seems like a lot more people are coming to me to ask questions about bunking beds or connecting internet or any other manner of stuff than are going to him. Go figure. Not that I mind, its nice to feel important. :)

Surprised myself today, actually spoke up at the big first hall meeting, instead of staring at the ground and trying not to make eye contact when the r/a asked for volunteers for stuff. Turns out I'm now the "Hall Historian" which basically involves taking a lot of pictures of everything and everyone throughout the year. I love taking pictures, so I figure why not, that'll force me to attend a lot more events than last year, socialize, get to know everyone and have everyone know me, sounded like a fun job. Also turned in a form to say I was interested in the "Residence Hall Peer Review Board" which basically are the people who hear cases about breaches in residential policy and is filled with student reps who make the decisions for the resolutions of the case. They work with adult supervisors and some of the main residence hall staff as well but play a major role in the process. Meets only once a week I think, I'll have to see when the time is to check for any conflict, but that actually sounds quite interesting. So who knows, maybe I'll be a lot more involved than usual. College is half over, gotta start branchin out sometime...

Ah and alas, "One More Time" by Daft Punk is blasting somewhere down in the vicinity of the Ice Cream Social/Dance area. I do believe its time to go bust a move. ;)
