And so it begins...

Tunes:"for the first time"// westbound train

Back on campus, in my new apartment, on a real mattress- life is good. I have yet to find the motivation to finish unpacking- all I want to do when I get back here each night is sleep. Our training days, which started last Thursday, are long. Usually after dinner each evening, a big group of the hall directors get together for what we call "HD Bonding Time." Volleyball is our usual fall back (I've gotten loads better from last year), last night was capture the flag (I was the flag holder...the boys thought us girls cheated...I kind of feel like they were right, haha) and then tonight we played a game called sardines, which is really like reverse hide and seek- AMAZING. I love feeling like I'm in elementary school again.

I'm bummed that I don't get to see Alie, Emily or Chris everyday like I have been, though...although- I have seen them all just about everyday since moving in Wednesday. It's just an adjustment to be living alone again. Chris has started cycling and will be stopping by each morning for a water break before making the 8 mile trek back to Bridgewater. Bless his heart. I met up with him and 2 of his friends last night to see a sweet band from New York play live at Clementine Cafe...

[Jupiter One]

They were a really enigmatic bunch of musicians- their lead dude K was all over the place and playing the synth, guitar violin and that cool mouth thing like Peter Frampton. So bad ass. We rocked out in the back while enjoying some beer and music talk. It was a great evening.
Check out the band- Jupiter One on Myspace!

Now I am pooped out, and I need to be up for another day of training starting at 8:30. But my staff has designated tomorrow as Hat Day, and thusly, it'll be fun.

I'm missing you all a ton- especially you, little bro. We'll have more book talk soon! Much love!
