So my week has been once again, uneventful. I've come to find that the longer I stay in Clinton the less there is to do. I don't mind, I guess it helps to keep my focus on school work. As of right now I've had what three chemistry labs, yet I haven't done but one pre-lab. Yes I know, you don't have to tell me. I'm slacking and I realize this probably more than any outsider would. I find myself enjoying life even though it's been difficult to be optimistic. I live in the Hederman dorms and my room is currently 79 degrees. While most would see this as an obstacle, I find myself laughing. Yes sleeping has been tough, and waking up to a puddle of sweat on the back of your neck doesn't exactly strike my fancy. My roommate and I have been doing our best to use what we have been provided with. God has blessed us with cool weather so we have our windows open (if you'd like to stop by and give us a quick hello, it would be greatly appreciated). We came to a conclusion that both of us felt as if we were camping and so far camping is more comfortable than I remember it. I love that our "camping trip" has indoor plumbing and a screen to keep bugs away, I just wish we had the s'mores. I also had a quiz in biology, second one, and I went up three points. I stared at my notes for what seemed like days, but didn't read one sentence. This reminded me of what we talked about today in English (how college is different than high school). I've never had to study for tests before, and now all of a sudden I spend hours upon hours on one subject just to fail a ten question quiz. Like I said I still find myself with my chin up. The fact that I went up 3 points has motivated me to beat my previous score.
Tonight we had our rush meeting, and I do have to say that I'm excited for those two weeks. I realize that it will be stressful, but it will be a fun experience to live out, and hopefully I'll make life long friends though the process. I haven't decided what tribe I want to join yet, they all seem like so much fun!
On the Rooney guy update: I talked to him finally. I found out his name (he will remain the Rooney guy on here). My conversation with him was brief and I didn't find out much about him, but I plan on getting more material to write about on this particular subject soon.

I really like that quote about music...at my high school we had senior quotes and on that I was thinking about doing was music is then only thing that doesn't hurt when it hits you.
Keep your chin up, girl. You sounded pretty positive with the whole camping thing. I enjoyed reading your blog.
