Wow. It is currently 8:47 a.m. on a Saturday and I have already been up for an hour. I'm still in my PJ's in which I drove Jade to work. I have to pick her up at 3:30. It's saving her a couple hours a day to ride the bus to and from work. Which, let's face it, that's insane to spend about as much time on a bus getting to and from work as you are actually spending at work. I told her I'd take her when I wasn't busy or anything. Apparently that makes me the sweetest.
It is now the end of week 2 back at school. Second Week of First Semester of Sophomore year. It has gone by so fast. I feel like I could just glide my fingers over time as it passed me by. I suppose I should do a quick update on everything that has happened since I've come back. It would take too long to write it all out in detail, so some things shall have details and others none.
Move-In Day I left my home at about 7:30 am. I stopped once along the way to get gas, so I wouldn't have to get some as soon as I got to Grand Rapids. I arrived and not many people were around, granted most everyone was a Sherpa or a freshman/transfer so they were still at camp. I got Matt and Ryan to move my room around for me, and my room is now the sweetest room in all of Cook. I loved getting to see most of my closer friends once everyone got back from camp. I spent a lot of time unpacking and organizing, a lot more so than I did the first year.
Tuesday the 8th, I got to see even more of my lovely friends who had come back for another year at The Stone, so hugs were happening very often as were screams/yells of names. I also went to an interview for a babysitting job. I started the job on Thursday, and I got my first paycheck this past Thursday. I still have to go celebrate.
Classes began Wednesday the 9th, and I found some awesome people I already knew in my class. Classes were all short as you spend most of it just going over the syllabus for your class. Since then I've been a lounge rat as often as possible to meet the freshies. Some are really awesome.
Freshmen are already knowing I am very social, and that I do homework while people are around me. I hate solitary confinement! I've already been mistaken for all upperclassmen years and for an RA. I can see where this is coming from, as I was mistaken for all of them last year too. Sadly, one freshmen, after I told him I'd heard about him (I hear about several freshmen before I meet them, and I tell all of them if I've heard about them) he began asking what I had heard, and what kind of rep he had. I told him the next day it was a bad rep and that according to his rep he was a creeper. Now, let me enlighten you guys to something. I have like 10 people (mostly freshmen guys) who I supposedly stalk and several people refer to me as creeper, but it's okay with me, because I know I'm "creeper" because of my friendliness. Anyway, last night the guy told me, "oh, by the way, you have a bad rep. Yea, I went out of my way." What is up with that? I didn't contribute to his rep, all I did was tell him what his rep was. Oh well. I don't care.
Okay, ready for stories? Good. I thought you might be. First interesting meeting was with Adam. I had stopped at Wendy's on my way back from Bdubs because I had a craving for fries. I also got a frosty. Well, basically, he'd never met an Eve before. So, Matt pushed us together and said, "oh, what a cute couple." It's not exactly a meeting one can easily forget, but I'm leaving details out because some things are hard to describe and I don't want this to be super long.
Nate 1. He showed off the sunburn on his back one night in the lobby of CoVo. The next day he came over to use our printer as no other printer wanted to work for him. He says "hex yea" (which is awesome, because I do too). He listens to awesome music, and he got a little freaked out when I asked him how his back was feeling. I told him I had been down in the lobby the night before when he had showed off his sunburn (which was horrid looking and I think now he's peeling really bad).
Nate 2. He cycles. I pretty much always only see him when he cycles. I never thought I had seen him out of his cycling garb. Well. I have. I wondered who he was, which is funny. I originally met him when he forgot his card and I stood in front of the door for a little bit, then finally told him he could open the door now. I told him about the motion sensors and that once they are set off (AKA someone stands by the door or moves by the door and you hear a click, it unlocks) you can open the door. Well, last night as I roamed around VO multiple times, I ended up in his room. As soon as I enter his room he's like "You're Eve right?" I told him yes it was. I didn't know how he knew my name at all at that moment. I asked him if I had met him and he said we had met a few days before, but he couldn't remember when. He told me his name was Nate. Well, after noticing the bike and helmet in his room I was like, "You're the cyclist!" His roomie found that rather interesting as I said the cyclist and not a cyclist. I then told Nate we had met when I stood in front of the door and didn't let him in right away. It clicked. It was funny. He then played guitar until I had to leave to pick up my friend Jade from work. I saw him twice after I got back.
I met one guy because I talked to him about cheese and crackers (my lunch most days that I eat in the lobby). Met others at interesting times. Most of the guys I just walked into their room during open and said hi. It's not hard to meet people. Why do people have such a problem sometime?
Adam, by the way, thinks I stalk him. I'm just always around CoVo when he is I guess. I am also a lounge rat, which makes people think I stalk them I guess. He told me to Twitter every time I saw him, and last night he denied ever saying that. Guys are so confusing. He drives a really sexy car, and I really want to drive around with him sometime. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Anyway, he is pretty much always the one who walks into a building after I'm in it, so unless I'm super good in my stalker skills (because I apparently stalk several others), he is stalking me. That's fine with me. He can go right ahead and stalk me. Oh, haha. He scared me half to death one day! I had said hi to him from my window (which is one first floor), and I turned my back to the window and when I glanced back (me being right next to the window), he was right there. I screamed and fell down the floor. It's funny to think of it now.
I also had a guy named Paul scare me like that as well, except I was in a room and he snuck in and said something and I had no idea he was there. When I turned around he was close to me and it scared me so bad I screamed and fell to the floor. It's a really good thing I don't have a weak heart.
There are many other stories, but those will have to suffice your curiosity as to what is going on in my life at college thus far this year. I'll try to update more often, so they are shorter and easier to read.
Oh. Haha. I got choked twice this week against a guys pectoral muscle as I got a hug. Once by Taylor and once by Lance. And there was a super dance party in first floor of VO. I don't like crowded places, so I wasn't there for much, but it was awesome. It also smelled really bad!
The end.
