Great day!

What an exhausting day I've had! It all began around 8:00 when I woke up and went to work out. My complex has a workout room equipped with two treadmills,an elliptical and some weights. One of the treadmills just doesn't work and the elliptical is a "sticky one" you know? It works the quads more then any elliptical I've ever been on! So I worked out for about 15 minutes at my complex. Yeah, not too impressive. Then I went back to my room, put on warmer clothes and was going to go for a "run". HA! How silly of me. It was hard to find good sidewalks, and it was snowing, so snow was building on ice and it was so slick. So after 10 minutes of literally running laps around my building I went inside.

Then I went to more of the "Get Connected" stuff, which was surprisingly really fun. There was a BBQ where we played games and te games I thought were a blast! Hard to explain online, so I won't try. But a lot like EFY games for those of you who went.

Then I went on a campus tour. Oh my heck, that did not help at all. I still don't know my way around. It will take some time.

The BEST part of the day? I fell. Twice. The first time in a parking lot, I was walking alone, and I fell right as a car was driving by, and of course, he laughed as he drove by, and of course, I COULD SEE HIM! Jerk. Good luck finding an eternal companion with that arrogance! Anyway. The second time, it was me and 10 other people in my orientation group. I was walking in front of the group, and of course, the perfect spot of ice came along for me to fall flat on my but on. It was hilarious though, even I was laughing this time. And everyone was so nice to put out their hands and offer to help me up.

Good story about last night (congrats if you're still reading! You rock for reading my long long posts! I love you for it!) Two guys from our ward came over last night. I was in my pink pajamas, the ones I do everything in, and chilling in my room. My roommate then knocked on my door and said "Hey, two guys from our ward are here! Come visit with us!" My immediate response was, "Uh, I'm going to change real fast!" She convinced me other wise. So I went out there and talked with them in my pink pajamas as well as my huge slippers that look like I literally look like I have pillows wrapped around my feet.

Then they invite us to watch a movie, and we went. It was so funny, on of the guys is from Ghana, so he is very dark, and he turned off the lights and said "Wow, you can't see me now!" It was hilarious. So the guys I've met have been so nice and sincere. Ok, I'm done. My little pinky hurts from typing. Maybe I'll go to the Student Health Center and see what they can do. Not that I'd be able to get there! Ha. Peace out.

What makes your little pinky hurt from typing??
So, did you ever buy those winter boots you were looking for before you left for school?? Sounds like you need some with some really good traction!
Be careful!

Laura I am so glad that I am not the only one who has trouble staying up on the ice. I slipped down the stairs in one of the busiest buildings on campus yesterday so I can sympathize with you. I tried to act all cool like nothing happened but I really wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out! I am glad you are having a good time ... college is the best!
