Today Was a Good Day
First, I got up early to go to work, where we were all told we would continue to get paid Premium Time (basically, they pay us more than we usually get, as motivation for working during Freshman Orientation) through tomorrow, which is freakin' sweet. I also saw the freshmen Painting the Rocks, a ritual every class goes through where we hike up the hill to the white rocks that spell out the initials to the school's name and repaint them. Also as per tradition, it turns into an epic paint war and everybody gets soaked in the stuff; and so later I saw people all walking around campus covered with white blotches. It was Awesome. (I remember when our class did it; they tried to pretend it wouldn't happen, but then somebody let out a battle cry and dumped an entire bucket of paint on a Peer Adviser and all Hell broke loose.)
Then we drove up to the town where our friends/former roommates are living this year (they're commuting to campus) and went shopping for dishes, electronics, iPhone cases, and suchlike. I got the director's cut of Watchmen, which we started to watch when we got back to our room but halfway through we realized we were hungry and it felt like a whole movie had already gone by, so we decided to pick it back up tomorrow and get food before watching the new Futurama movie instead. It was hilarious.
Also, I finished the rest of what will probably be my last BBQ Fritos bag in my entire life (they've discontinued them permanently, it seems) and I feel strangely at peace. It probably also helps that I have Cherry Dr. Pepper to wash it down with, which is amazing but will probably also be discontinued because it will fail to make a gazillion dollars, which is a sad thing, I promise, so enjoying it while I can seems to be a good approach.
Now, off to do a quick bout of late-night writing before work tomorrow, and possibly I might clean my room. Or maybe I'll watch all the new DVDs I have until my brain leaks out my ears... did I forget anything relevant?
