K so today was ridiculous... I don't even know how to explain it...
The day started with me finding my way across campus by myself for the fist time ever.. only looked at a map once! When I got to the reslife office I finally met Gary Stout...I haven't decided if he is awesome or awful yet. I spent the morning having him, with no warning, drag me to the heads of TSU for some meet and greets. For example I met the equivalent of the dean of students by being walked to his office and shoved in there by myself with only a warning of 'don't make me look bad' from Gary. WTF?! But I think I didn't embarrass myself too much.. I didn't feel like I was being overly awkward..
Then we had the RC (residential coordinator or equivalent of an RED) meeting which was entertaining because most the meeting everyone just discussed where they wanted to get lunch... we decided on the dining center (this was an hour long meeting)
Then the best part of the day hit! We are eating lunch, I go to grab a cookie get back and half the group is gone, the other half standing up saying 'we got to go NOW'. Apparently a storm was about to hit and we either had to leave immediately or be stuck in the dining center for the rest of the day. So we ran to Honeywell Hall. About 10 minutes later the storm started, which although it was supposed to be hailing golf balls, it just rained really hard with a little thunder and lightning. So we didn't leave for 2 hours...
TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE.. It would be like eating lunch at hillside, deciding we must get to SP offices before the storm hits so we don't get stuck, making it to Regents, sitting there for 10 minutes before the storm starts, then the storm starts while in Regents so you don't leave for 2 hours... IT WAS JUST RAIN! so we sat and did NO WORK, but instead watched it rain forever instead of walking 2 more blocks...In all fairness it was raining really hard.
The day ended with me eating at CICIs for the first time with one of the RCs and her 2 year old kid. I know I dont like kids, but this one was pretty awesome. Now I am finally back in my temp room listening to my temp roomie study for her math final while waiting for Glee to buffer enough to watch.
What a day! Meeting super important TSU people, seeing Texan's react to rain, and actually enjoying being around a kid. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings..
