Moving in!

Ahh move in day. How exciting that was. Friday morning my parents, brother, Paul, and sister-in-law, Cyndi, and I packed up 2 cars and headed down for SD. I can't say much for the ride down because I slept basically the entire way down. I awoke as we got on the I-8, as did Paul.

I already had my keys from when I took some stuff down the weekend before, so we found parking in the parking structure below and unloaded the car. My roommate was still asleep and I felt bad waking her up, but my other roommmate that was up just went and opened the door so my roomie would wake up. They then left to help friends they have going to the school move in to the dorms, as it was official move-in day for them as well.

After moving everything in and unpacking things, we went to Pat and Oscar's for lunch. We ate and then went over to one of the malls to by a floor lamp and desk lamp that I had seen at JcPenny's. After that purchase, Cyndi left for a girl's night with her friends, leaving Paul with us. We headed to the grocery store near my apartment so I could buy tv dinners and sandwich stuff to survive on.

It was like 4:30 or 5 before we got back from doing all that. So we decided to walk over to campus and found they were doing EZ Books, which was what I used to buy my textbooks so I picked those up. That was painful to write a check for such a large amount of money and it wasn't even for something fun. But that's just how it is now, gotta buy our own books as opposed to having them paid for and given to us like it has been for the last 13 years. Also while we were over at campus, we saw that they were taping "Veronica Mars" on campus. We saw trucks and heard them say "ACTION!" and saw people walking back and forth in front of a building. So that's pretty cool. I may start watching it now that I see it tapes at my school. *note: The trucks were there when I did orientation as well, so it's not like it was just for one episode or something*

After getting back from campus, it was about 7, so my parents decided it was time to go. It was hard to say goodbye, and none of my roomies were around so I just kinda sat around. Later that night, one of my roommates, Emily brought a friend over and we all went to Emily's brother's house that he and some friends share a few blocks away. They were all really nice and we just hung out and talked and some of the guys played guitar and we sang. Real fun. Got home around 1am, and found the girl I share a room with-Tricia-sitting on the couch watching tv, so Emily and I joined her and then went to bed not long after.
