Destination

I don't know why the orientation program is called that. It's supposed to be like, hey welcome to college; this is the beginning of a great start. They make it seem like you've accomplished something by just getting here. Oh well.
No interesting hidden words today.
Yesterday, I actually walked to campus, because I realized that I wouldn't have any place to put my skates as I participated in the activities of the day. Well, I set my alarm for the morning thinking I was going to skate, but when I realized my mistake, it was too late. Because... it made me late.

I may have been late, but I made up for it with my skills of speedy eating. Then, after breakfast, we went to a few presentations to teach us about the resources and the professors and about credit cards, loans, and the college budget. We ate lunch then we went to see a group of people who do skits. They did skits about college life, when the tough stuff happens, like discrimination and well... mostly that. They had interactive skits, so you could comment on them after they were done and express your opinion on the situation and what is wrong with what was happening in the skit. The actors were really good.

I thought I was done for the day so I went back to the dorm. Then, luckily, while I was making a point to check all my emails and web pages, and facebook, I stumbled on an email in my school email box. Yes folks, I have a grand total of six email accounts, three web pages and a facebook account to keep track of. Anyway, the team leader we had, totally spaced and forgot to tell us that there was a great big thing just for Destination Students. He didn't sent it to me until 4:30 and we went to at 6:30, then we toured campus and wasted a little time, until, the thing started.

The great big thing was cool; they had free stuff, and games to play. There was a "scavenger hunt" in which we went around one of the buildings finding different shops and spots to hang out, getting our cards punched. When we were done, we turned in our cards at the book store to qualify for a free ipod nano. I wouldn't mind one of those if it was free.

Then I went and pretty much spent the rest of the night playing bunko and winning free stuff. Bunko was put on by Campus crusades, so it was really fun. I won a free meal at Perkins in Ames, two free quarter pounders from B-bpos, a free slice of pizza from Dinners and Desserts (don't ask me), a free drink from the Cafe Diem Coffee House, and a bunch of other stuff I gave away to other people who weren’t winning anything.

For those of you who know how to play bunko, I didn't until last night, but we switched teams at about every table and two of the teams I was on scored forty five points which was a lot because the other team only had about twenty when we finished the game. I think it was because I got bunko and baby bunko in the same game and my partner got a baby bunko too. That helped. Well I've got to go take care of my tuition bill, that's the end of this exciting post.
