So I forgot to call...until this morning :( ugh, what a crappy friend.
Sorry alex..hope you had a great birthday.
I guess i'll update while i'm at it.
I've been hanging out with IV at a pre-school retreat type thing, and it's been great. I forgot how important and awesome it is to be with community. I feel like this past summer, everything was so low-key and stressless that I became kind of complacent and because of that, my spirituality suffered. It's good to be back.
Moved in yesterday, and my room has a pretty cool set-up, if I may say so myself. I've got a fortress type thing, and even enough room for a mini-couch. It's cool because right away, I feel like my roommate and I will totally get along even by the way the room is set-up. Instead of keeping to our two sides (standard room), we rearranged all the furniture so that the whole room is ours. The beds are in a nice L shape, the desks are sorta connected, etcetc. I'll put up a picture if i get the chance. Aside from that , I've been meeting some very cool people, and it's always fun to help out a bright-eyed freshman. My dorm is four-class, which i'm very thankful for, and the freshmen bring a sort of energy not seen in upper class dorms.
Wendy (Hsiao) was also over yesterday, visiting Rebekah (and me? maybe?) haha and I got to meet a bunch of Rebekah's friends by hanging out with all of them. Already, I feel like I'm doing a better job of meeting people outside of my dorm, something I regrettably failed at last year. It was good hanging out with them and exploring some hidden sides of Stanford, like the roof of the bio building... hanging out is always so much more fun when schoolwork isn't lurking around. Unfortunately, classes start monday, so this calm before the storm won't last for too much longer. Still, I guess I can't really complain, since the rest of the bloggers here have been working for weeks already :)
In other exciting news, I got Windows XP installed on my MacBook, and I can run both concurrently!
Until next time!
