I'm finally settled.

Well no not really. I've unpacked, but my room needs to be decorated more. I left a lot of things at home/ never bothered to purchase them because I thought my room would have been tiny. Actually, it's quite large, and I have room for all kinds of things I never would have thought one could fit in a dorm room. I EASILY could fit a big sofa, not that I planning to do so. But I would like to get another chair, and a lamp, and definitely a little bookshelf.

Here are some photos of my room.

My bed, which doesn't look that tall in the picture, but believe me, it is.

My INCREDIBLE view! It's going to be amazing when it snows!

So as some of you may know I've been without internet for a while (to me half a day is a long time without internet). The problem seemed to be that the building is having a difficult time getting wifi to everyone, so the issue was not with my computer. I ultimately realized that the only way to remedy this aside from just waiting for the wifi to be fixed, was to walk to the bookie to buy an ethernet cord, so now I'm wired to the wall on my laptop, but the internet is working just wonderfully! Also in order to watch TV on your laptop (a feature only found in my dorm, which is brand new and very tech savvy), you need an ethernet cord, so regardless of whether or not the wifi is working, I needed this cord. I didn't bring a tv, which for now seems fine, but I may want to bring one back up this winter. After walking back from the bookie where I got my ethernet cord, I discovered a much shorter route to and from my dorm, which I'm so glad I discovered now, and not in the middle of the year. I had been taking a rather circuitous route that added at least another 5 minutes to the journey. When you're walking, five minutes is a big deal.

Yesterday evening, I went mad without my internet so I walked with my macbook in my backpack all the way to the cub (keep in mind folks, WSU is a very large campus), and alas the wifi was working wonderfully there, confirming my belief that my laptop is flawless. Later that evening I walked to Dissmores with some friends, which was horrifically long and exhausting. It's not a hop, skip and a jump from my location, and really it's not a place one should walk to, but we did it nevertheless. I bought some Hi-C, and some cheeze its. Despite the long walk, it was a fun night and it was good to hang out with people. My roommate is doing his orientation so he's gone all day. I was without much social interaction since my family left earlier in the afternoon. I probably won't see my friend Brenda tonight since she's rushing, excuse me, she's at "recruitment" (the greek folks here at WSU now prefer the latter term instead of the former, don't ask why), but that's okay. I've got my internet, so I'm entertained.

Today is the last hard day really, since some of my friends start moving up tomorrow. It'll be a good day, I'm excited for it. Tomorrow is also the day where all the Week Of Welcome activities begin.
