Today was a long and great day. Beyond great possibly . The rest of my freshman class moved in today. Boy, am I glad I beat the rush. All the lines and traffic; early move in day is the best honors perk. Instead of rolling around huge carts of boxes I spent the day talking to my mentor and meeting new people. Nothing tops meeting the head of my department (journalism) Helen Fallon, who is also the head of HSO. In college and in everyday life its all about networking. Who you know might determine who you become. So you can see why having a conversation with a leader like Helen puts me in a good position. I really hope I get her one work study spot.
After all that honors stuff I had a mini adventure. My mother decided to take me and my roommates to the market for food. Funny thing is we have never been to a market in Pittsburgh and we had to follow printed directions. Between the twist and turns and my aunts cynical comments my mom was a bit stressed. Once we reached the market she started breathing again. Soon after last goodbyes and hugs my roommates and I were getting dressed up for a boat ride. I had never been on a boat that actually sailed so I was a bit nervous. Once the food was in my stomach and the music was playing I felt much better. And I didn't get sea sick so that was good.
Now I am back in my dorm hanging out. I can't say I'm tried yet.
The night is young
and the streets are cold
but my heart is beating
and I'm not old
