The First Weekend

My first week is finally over. I was very excited to check out all my new classes and start the internship but I was really busy. Next week will probably be even busier because I start my tutoring shifts and Gamma Phi activities next week. But I'm sure I can handle it all, especially if I get a head start on some applications this weekend and finish my homework.

So quite obviously the most important thing is, my story is finished! It ran yesterday in a small, Friday issue (The Minnesota Daily is usually online on Fridays) so I got to cut a little clip of my story and put it on the Wall of Fame which I am sure is soon to be filled with all of my work. :) So if you'd like the story, here it is: my story!

There's an error on the website, they forgot to put Taryn's name on the story. We actually wrote it together and she was a huge help and didn't make fun of me because I was nervous about calling the Hennepin County Commissioner. So, I'm not trying to take all of the credit.

So yesterday after class my roommate and I went over to Rosedale Mall because I needed a new pair of jeans. Every pair I own right now has holes bigger than golf balls on the inner thighs and my mom found this unacceptable and gave me some money for new jeans. We also ran by Target so I could find some hair dye. I meant to go back to my natural dark, dark blonde hair color but the color turned out more gold-strawberry blonde. It looks more natural than before so I'm quite pleased...


And last but certainly not least...our loft has finally arrived so we could put our room together just the way we like it!



The view from the door



Our wall of posters, my desk, the sofa



We're big fans of PDL--Public Displays of Literacy



Better view of the sofa and coffee-table-basket



Janelle's little cave



My new bed



Food central plus Janelle's Ferret shrine.

So finally, my dorm room looks a little more comfortable and we have space for guests. Hopefully, people will start hanging out in our room more instead of 3E.
