much nicer

kinda crazy how fast things can change. as you could probably tell from yesterdays post... whoa, actually that was today... or was it... i'm not gonna check, whatever... anyway
it was a blah day yesterday... more than blah, actually, but, we'll leave it at that.
today wasn't as bad (especially after waking up and seeing a normal arm and a normal ankle), but it was definitely blah (except for the guitar hero... always makes me smile). i still hadn't quite made my way to talking to people... i am considering going to meijer and buying a handball, and then asking people to play.
or even frisbee... i've thought about getting some people to go play frisbee on the commons lawn, but... i realized, usually you go up to some people and say, "we're going to go play frisbee... you wanna join?" however, saying, "i'm going to go play frisbee, you wanna join?" is a bit different. you can't play frisbee by yourself people. so if they say no thanks, you're not actually going to go play some frisbee.... so you lied...
and eating time is totally the worst, especially when you find yourself looking for an empty table because you know that there is no one to look for because you dont know anyone.
good thing i am a fast eater.
i know, i am venting a bit, but wait, here's the good happy feel-good part.
anyway, when we got into our small groups tonight, i was really excited because this would be the first time i see what the wilderness orientation group would be like. small group, 10 people (6 guys, 4 gals). cool staff, and the head guy... i don't know what is up with all these people who resemble other people, but the leader guy looks exactly like the man vs wild guy, minus the british accent.
hilarious.
anyway, hearing about the trip, getting our backpacks so we could pack tonight, and meeting this group was so much fun. totally turned my mood right around and got me so excited. even a new interest in another major came up after hearing what some of the leaders said... which threw me off because i have to meet with my adviser tomorrow about major, so we'll see how that goes.
and on another encouraging note: i talked to the guys tennis coach, and he was telling me where we'd be playing and who i could find to play with... but here is what was really neat to here. he said that two of the top gal tennis players in the midwest are coming on the team this year (freshmen) and then one of the returning girls from last year is really good, and he said that everyone was excited about me being on the team as well (mainly because they are very curious to see how i play, and also because i come from the country CA), so he basically said our team is going to be very very strong this year! he expects us to go far. very neat.

so yes... good mood now... except its ridiculously hot in the basement of the dorm... i am actually sweating from sitting here and typing... a tad bit gross.

well, this will be the last post for sure now, seeing how i leave tomorrow afternoon.
talk to yall soon.
