Today is the day. Today's the day that we've been looking forward to all summer. We're finally in the dorms and just hanging out. It was very overwhelming and different but it was fun. Very much awesomely fun.
This morning, and all day in fact, was extremely hot and humid. It's never this way for California and many of the out of state people were complaining about how hot and humid it was. We told them that we locals were suffering too. The humidity kind of overpowered the events of the day, but we still managed to have a great day. Not only did i get my post office box, but i got some other fun things as well. I was also able to meet up with a lot of the people from western and we did a tour of everyone's dorm room. That took up most of the afternoon since people were still moving in and everything. I got to meet my roommate and she seems super cool and nice.
We had a picnic on the lawn, and it was really fun, but again it was super hot. We got to hear from the bands and the president. Then we had a giant meeting where we got all excited and heard from a lot of the faculty and staff. We got to meet with our Alpha groups. Those are groups that we get to stay with for the rest of the year and one of our college classes is devoted to these groups. Mine seems pretty cool!
Then we had the candela, which is a tradition at APU, which is where you basically get a candle and hold it in the air and sing songs. Its a pretty awesome thing to watch though. You do it your first night at APU and then you do it your last night. I loved it.
Finally, I ended the night by playing soccer on the field. (It finally, at like 11:30, was actually pleasant.) Then, I tried out the whole communal shower and bathroom experience. It was interesting but something I'm gonna have to get used to for the next 8 months. The girls in my hall seem nice, and it will only get better from here!
