Like I promised...

I just screamed my head off for 45 minutes straight.

The reason being: the Quad Scream. Every year in the Quad at Smith, the various houses come up with chants and run out into the quad to scream them at each other. The last house standing wins. This year it was a 3-way tie between my house (Jordan), Gardiner, and... Wilson, I believe? Anyway, it was awesome! This was our chant this year:

J, O-R, let me hear you Johos roar!
D, A-N, scream it louder than they can!
J-O-R, D-A-N, sounds so good we'll say it again!
J-O-R, D-A-N, the house you wish you could live in!
Jordan house is like no other, if you don't like it... UH! YOUR MOTHER!
Jordan house is the best on campus, if you don't like it, then kiss our asses!

So backtracking a little bit, I had a great day even before the Quad Scream. I moved in around 11, went to a Presidential Address, and walked around campus with my mommy. I bought the traditional college apparel (a sweatshirt and sweatpants) and had dinner with my house.

So far, all the girls seem really cool! I'm looking forward to getting to know them better as the orientation festivities progress.

I think this is going to be a great year!

Starting anew

So starting tomorrow, I'm gonna try really hard to update regularly about my transition into Smith. I feel like it's really hard to remain consistent with blogging if you don't have a theme. So my theme is Smith. For now.

Moving in at 9am tomorrow morning! Eek!

Girls day!

So today was my first official girls day ever. I find it kind of weird to think it's taken me 20 years to have a day just dedicated to hanging out with girl friends. I think it's because I don't really have too many girl friends; I tend to make friends easier with guys. Guys come with so much less baggage.

But today was pretty awesome. It was so nice to be able to have conversation that didn't revolve around trucks or guns! Sometimes girls can be pretty darn cool.

I better get used to hanging around them, considering my school is full of 'em. If it means more days like these, that shouldn't be too hard!
