First Day

Only time I will completely describe my day, so be happy.

So got to UVA at 11.  Was crowded but didn't hinder me at all.  Moved my stuff all upstairs.  My roommate Ryan had a ton more stuff and I don't know how it is all in this dorm.  My table is a complete mess with all my random crap on it.  I'll organize it tomorrow.  Our power plugs were not working.  Other Anh (I need a better name for her) was a greeter and I met her as she just came in to check to see if I was doing ok.

Then I went to O'Hill for lunch with my parents around 12.  After eating random breakfast food, I said goodbye to my parents (wasn't that tearful at all) then went to my dorm to get my bag.  Started to lightly rain.  There I met my RA Mark.  He showed me his room and it is big compared to ours.  Drums sets everywhere.  He showed me how to sent up internet and send a work order for the power.

After that, I hit the streets to see what was happening.  It was getting close to 1 and the president was addressing the student body, but I saw Abhinav and Patrick walking the street.  I joined up with them to go to Thatcher's dorm.  Small but livable. We chilled there until 2.

From there I went to the Engineering food activity (cookies and lemonade).  Took 5 min then walked to another address.  Got bored during the address in 5 min so I explored the music building.  I saw the pianos downstairs and messed with one for a while.

I went back on the street and met up with Abhinav and Patrick again.  We walked all the way to Patrick's dorm and sat around there until 3:30.  He has a suite so a single room, which is nice I guess.  From there I had to walk all the way from that distant building to an ice cream social for international students in a downpour.  (You may be noticing I invade socials I shouldn't go to).  Other Anh, Arden, and I ate ice cream while listening to a cello and harp duet.

From there we went to other Anh's dorm.  Being a second year and living in Brown, her dorm was nice.  At 5:30, Brown was having a cookout so we went to that and ate good food (compared to O'Hill).  I had to be back at my dorm at 6:15 so I ran back in the rain.

We had icebreakers and talk about drugs; typical RA stuff.  At 9 there was a concert so our dorm went.  I'm not a big fan of concerts so after about 20 min I left.  I joined up with some Warrenton campus students to go to the blockparty.  Just to observe what a real UVA party is like.

Literally the whole block was just filled with drunk people.  All the building were full and people were in the streets even in the rain.  I thought it was pretty funny and scary at the same time.

At 12 I got back to my dorm and went into my senior resident's room.  Her room is huge.  A whole kitchen in there!  She had food so I ate some and talked to the RA that were in there.  She decided to go to sleep so I came back to my dorm.  End of an eventful day.
