I exist...
My dorm rocks, I feel very much at home, this desk is insanely accomodating (I was picturing having everything crammed on and in it, but dude... I will have to put pics up later if possible) ...it couldn't have been easier to get Remy all hooked up to the network, I can't believe I'm already online. Dad was awesome and ran out to get me a cable while Mom and I finished unpacking, and it ended up being all I needed.
Orientation so far is going decently enough - I'm alive. Which is the important part. Just got back from dinner at the Irvine Spectrum (much more than your average mall complex, sheesh...) spent 3 hours with my team... interesting characters. People from all over the place - Colorado and Vegas and Korea... 2 from Korea! My roomie is great, understated like me (the only thing I was afraid of was getting some loud overbearing person), her name's Vanessa and I can tell it's gonna be cool. Mom and Dad just left, they'll be back tomorrow for a few more programs and then I'm here alone till May 13th.
There's gonna be a movie at the commons in about 15 minutes - either Spider-Man or Shrek. Then a meeting at 10:45 for Chi Rho (my dorm complex). They sure aren't letting us sleep tonight.
This is weird, and exciting, and liberating, and claustrophobic, and exhausting all at once.
CCTI, your text message reached me as I was standing in line to get my ID card. It made me very happy. :)
So, that's all I can say at the moment. But I am breathing, I am sane. That's good enough for now.
