LEEP!

LEEP!..eek! So far not so good. I took the train down. Started out with a little surprise..got to the train station and found out that the particular train I'm on does not check in items..so my gigantic red bag with a 12 pack of coke can't be checked in. So i'm like great, but not the end of the world..so dragged it around, got it on the train..took the train down, dragged it off. Got into a cab and came to the dorms. A little bit of a wait to check in and get keys etc. Got upstairs to my new broom closet. Smaller than my original dorm in undergrad..good times. Unpacked some stuff..then decided I was hungry..went out to get some food..got wings and beer (total $6.50!) and then some ice cream..there is no hand soap in the room so picked that up too..then did a little reading..talked to R and went to bed.
Then this morning it all went downhill....wa wa wa..so this morning I woke up..had a shower..my roommates had finally arrived..met them quickly and went to my first class..turned out it was just to get a packet of info..and had to go to the bookstore to get an ID..i got there and filled out my form but didn't have my id number..apparently my undergrad and grad number are the same..so i took out my undergrad id to find the number..and they TOOK AWAY MY OLD ID!!!!..the lady was like...i can give you the picture..so she cut that off and gave it to me..i was like I don't care if you cut it up or write void across it..i just want to keep it..and she was like we understand the sentimental value but we can't give it back to you because we'll lose our jobs..so they cut off my picture, gave it to me, and took my picture for the new one..so now I have only one for grad school..and no undergrad ID..and I guess this isn't that big of a deal to most..but I have all my high school ones..so I liked the idea of having my undergrad and my grad school one..i wish i'd never taken it out..i'm gonna try and see if i can get the rest of it even if it is in 2 pieces..
So..after that debacle (i know...my life is pathetic)..went to orientation..pretty routine..this is where all this stuff is..come ask us if you need help..met many of the staff as well..then went on the walking tour..mind you..it's a nice cloudy rainy day..it was barely drizzling..so i figured..it'll be fine..then it got a little harder..then we went into a building..still raining when we came out..went a little farther..more rain..went into another building..still raining..and as we walked on it got rainier and rainier and rainier..finally decided..ok..my shirt and jeans are soaked thru..time to go get my bag..which has my umbrella in it..and go back to the dorm..got to the dorm and changed clothes..had a little bit of a muffin..read a little..and then came back to the next workshop..which I'm sitting in now..as you can tell..it's fascinating..it's an intro to leep technology..so as most of it has seemed pretty straight forward..its been pretty easy..just listening here and there.
