I'm not remembering half the people, and even less the names but still. And it's weird cuz I mean out of a total of 2,402 freshies you'd think I wouldn't run into the same people much but I keep seeing the same people! Weirddddd I guess they're all just stalking me cuz they realized how awesome I am.
So today started out I woke up at 10:30ish and took a shower. Neither Elaine or Paige were up to the Exploring Towson, Back to School Rally- basically walk to the Towson Town Center Mall and get a bag of coupons and stuff. It started at noon, and I left the tower at like 11:20. I asked the guy at the front desk for rough directions, and he gave me them, saying that they weren't very good but I thanked him anyways cuz I only remembered the first three things he said haha. So I made it to the part I last remembered and there was not a single person around I could ask for further directions.
I walked around for the next ten minutes in a circleish way, and finally saw a group of girls wayy ahead of me. They stopped under the bus stop and I was able to catch up and ask if they knew where it was. They said they were actually going to it, and said I could join them. Yay! So we walked there together, and I'm telling you it is a MUCH longer walk than I expected. But I talked to them and made more friends. But I don't remember any names :( oh well But it was cool, and I hung out with them and walked back with them. By the time I got back to my room it was 3:50 and I just had time to stop in before running out to find Burdick Field for the Get Rec'd at the Campus Recreation Field Day.
I get into the elevator and Chris and another guy get on, along with a few other people and he asks if anyone's going to the thing and I was like yea, I am. So we get outta the elevator and he's like, "Nicole, right?" and I said yea. I asked them if they know where the field is and they don't know so we go to a map, Steve introduces himself, and we start heading to where we think it is, but still not sure. I ask a group of three people as we pass if they know where it is, and they point us in the right direction, the opposite way we were going, to the field infront of the union. We get there and split up, I head to the table and I find the people in charge of the intermural sports and sign up for info on dodgeball, soccer, surf, and then I signed up for notifications for the outdoor adventure things; the same people from yesterday with the kayaking and stuff. Then I signed up for the frozen t-shirt contest.
I played frisbee with a group for a few minutes until the contest started. There were ten of us total and they had ten tshirts folded up and frozen to hell. We had to thaw it out and put it on; the first person to do so would win. So we were going at it, I was hugging it and putting it between my legs and on my back trying to melt it, when the people said that we could have partners to help us. I looked up and called out for help, asking the whole crowd watching us if they would lend a hand. No one did, and a group of passing football looking guys I asked too, but they just walked by.
I called for help again, and finally some guy came over and started helping me. Then his one girl friend came and began helping and then a girl that i was playing frisbee with came and started helping too. We were soooo close, but we didn't win, the only guy who was in the contest won :( but it was fun. From there I did the dodgeball, and realized one guy, Dan, was from the Challenge by Choice and apparently I picked the wrong side to be on cuz we kept losing. But for the first two games, I was the last person in on my side which was surprising cuz there were alot of guys on my team. There was even one guy who caught two balls thrown at him simultaneously! That was awesome. I thought I did not so well, but then once it was over the one guy who was like the ref/leader said I did really good and I should think about joining the dodgeball games. yay! :D
We were supposed to do kickball too, but we played dodgeball for too long and went onto the relay races next. As they set it up, the frisbee tshirt helping girl named Scotty asked if I wanted to play the bean bag toss till it started. We did, and when everyone went to crowd around the relay thing I went to look on. Then this girl came up and asked if I wanted to do it with her cuz her partner backed out so I said yea. I had to do five head spins with the baseball bat, then run to second base get in a bag and jump in it to my partner who I would tag and she would take a dodgeball, put it between her legs and run like that to 4th base where they would take a spoon and egg and balance it to the finish. We came in third.
I was soooo dizzy after the spinning I ran in a giant curved line haha. But it ended, I didn't win any of the raffles, and headed back to my room. I got there, sat for five minutes, exhausted, and then Elaine came in at like 6:20 and asked if I wanted to join her and Kate to the concert. So I ran out with her and we got to the concert like two minutes before it began. Elaine brought her blanket with her so the three of us sat on it together. I couldn't remember what Graham Colton sang, but his name sounded familiar. He was really great on stage and at his last song I realized that's the song I knew him from. He sings Best Days.
The girls in back of us, like two songs in held up a sign and he asked what the sign said and they yelled out "BE OUR FRIEND!" He was like "Sure, I'd love to be friends. In real life or like on twitter?" and they said real life and he said good, that's what he was hoping for. He said we all have to facebook friend him. Then he finished and I went to buy his CD, and he said it was kinda cheesy but he'd be by the table so we should talk to him. So like I was the sixth person to meet him and he signed my CD, and signed Elaine's. He said between ours that we really gotta facebook him, and he wrote on hers "Elaine, Facebook pleeeeeeeease" and he underlined please 3 times lol. The people who were on after him were crappy. Tons of people left during them. We saw Graham leave, and left like two minutes after at 8:30. We got back to the room and chilled. We just had the like 5 minute floor meeting, and tomorrow is the first day of classes. Yikes! I hope all goes well.
