I'm here! We don't have wireless in the dorms yet so I've been MIA on the internet front. Right now I'm sitting in this fabulous Italian restaurant eating tiramisu and drinking coffee with some of my loves. We are sitting at this ginormous table with our computers. being lame. and being happy. :)
So far this experience has been more than I ever expected it to be. The people I have met have been my saving grace. Without internet access and limited time to use my phone I've felt very disconnected from my life in Illinois which has been hard to deal with. However, the people that I have met (mainly my roommates hailee and britt, and the boy who lives across the hall Brian, and well.... everyone else!) have made me feel so at home.
Ok. SO. It started on Friday when I got to Mississippi on zero sleep for over 24 hours, super scared, and no roommates. I sat in my room. Cried. And then fell asleep watching Friends. After I got some sleep I ventured outside and found some people talking about a Harry Potter closet. I asked them what they meant and they showed me to this closed that looked just like the Cupboard Under the Stairs. it was hilarious. and I fell in love with them. One of the people there was Brian, a boy who lives across from me. He is FABULOUS. We insta-bonded and I was much happier. After eating a gross dinner, we hit up Sonic with his roommate and another friend we had made, Kat, and became a family in one short night.
When we got back my roommates had FINALLY arrived and I was super nervous about meeting them. I just have to say... they are AWESOMEEEEE. We have so much in common and we get along so well. I never could have asked for a better match up. Saturday we had a bunch of schtuff to do. I can't remember what the entire day entailed right now. But I do know it had something to do with getting out temp. groups
I also remember going out on Saturday night. We went to the AmeriStar Casino and Bar on the river and saw this awesome Jazz band play really random pop songs. It was the perfect Mississippi experience. We then traveled to a local bar and met some awesome townies and had a really, really fun time. It was great getting to bond with all of my new friends!
On Sunday we all slept in and then went on a girls (plus andrew) breakfast to Waffel house. then we went to the local pool and just hung out for most of the afternoon. At night we just had a movie night and had a butt-ton of people chill in our room. It was fun. And Fabulous.
I wish I could spend more time right now letting everyone know what is going on. But my time is limited in this Italian cafe. Just know that I am doing well. I miss you all. I love you even more. And I think about you every single day.
