I run every day now, or close to it. I'm training for Auburns fall 5k and I'm pretty excited about it.
I made an amazing playlist on my ipod thats the exact length of time I need to run...as my time increases, I add another song of the appropriate length. It's pretty cool...except the last song is always eight billion years long it seems.
Anyway, not the point.
The point is, I try to change up my path every now and then so I don't get too bored. If you've never been to Auburn's campus, just know that its gorgeous, and anywhere I run is good scenery.
Still, not the point.
The point is...I was running behind my dorms on mell street today and I saw three RVs parked in the grass. The field they were parked in is all marked off with orange tape. People are here and ready for saturday.
Its pretty darn exciting.
I got my AOII loves Auburn button for the game and I'm picking up my tshirt today.
Saturday is tailgating with my amazing friends (including my bff Jenny who's flying in from dallas tomorrow!) and then the game!!
You have no idea how stoked I am.
Like no idea.

Its raining here in alabama...
The hurricane is tossing some storms up our way and the forecast says its going to rain all week.
The only problem with that is my AOII pledge retreat that I'm about to leave for. We're spending the weekend in Wetumpka at a place called Camp Chandler and I dont think rain and camping mix well when there are 60 sorority girls who don't like being muddy.
I don't really even like camping when it's sunny...but maybe it'll be fun. At the very least I'll get to know my pledge class better and I'm excited about that.

Being the first weekend of the school year basically every fraternity on campus threw a party last night. My friend Katie and I went to the lambda chi house. It was pretty fun but kinda crazy and overwhelming. There were people everywhere...standing in groups talking, on the stage dancing, walking into bedrooms, passed out in the hallways, throwing up over the railing, and being completely ridiculous in every aspect of the word. It was pretty funny I'm not gonna lie. Until a weird drunk guy wearing only a speedo tried to dance with me...talk about awkward. I didn't stay too long after that. Being sober, its funny for about an hour, and then it kinda wears off.
I'm glad we went though...it was an experience to say the least.

So now I'm off to my retreat in the rain.
Then another week of classes...
Jenny comes on friday =] =]
and saturdays the first FOOTBALL GAME =]
I'm soo freaking excited!
So look for me on tv...i'll be the cute one in the stands =]

First day of classes...
It's all really exciting. Campus was pretty dead during rush week other than on the hill, so I love seeing all the people everywhere. The weather is really nice and my earliest class on Mondays is 9 am which isnt too bad. Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have class till 11 so I'm excited about that.
Only major issue so far is my business calc class. My teacher, Mr. Kong, has been in America for two weeks. It's his first time in an english speaking country and it's obvious. He probably speaks about as much english as I do chinease. And if there was ever a class where I needed to be able to understand my teacher, it'd be business calc.
But I guess it could be worse.
Tomorrow's the first pep rally and I'm going with all my new A O PI sisters =]
And saturday we have a new member overnight retreat so that should be fun.
It's only been a little over a week so I'm sure I'll get homesick soon...but as of right now I'm doing great. I miss my parents but I can pretty much call them whenever I want so I don't feel like I'm too far away.
High school just could never compare to this.
I love college =]

okay quick update before i have to go take pictures with my pi chi group...
college = amazing.
we haven't started classes yet, football obviously hasn't started yet, and we're not allowed to see boys at all this week - but i already love it.
imagine how much MORE i will love once you had football and boys to the mix.
=]
im so happy.
moving in was weird...my roommate is a freak and i was really sad when my parents left.
but it turned out fine cause my suitemate is awesome and i love her.
rush has been crazy and really busy but a lot of fun...we're doing stuff all day, everyday this week which is kinda overwhelming but amazing at the same time.
tomorrow i find out which sororities invited me back for round two which is exciting.
and by saturday i'll know which one, if any, that I'm gonna join.
After that I'll sleep all day sunday and wake up early on Monday for class.
crazy crazy crazy.
Anyway..the point is yay college boo high school.
