Day 3 - Sunday, August 22nd 2010

I didn't have to get up until noon today (that roughly equals excitement). We had a DUI presentation in the gym which was probably the saddest thing I've ever heard. There was no video montage – just a clip of the speaker's spring break with his friends. There were five of them and because of drunk driving, three of them died at age 22. The speaker was the driver. He told us his experience, how he went to prison for 3 years (originally looking at 45, but the parents of his friends were too nice to press charges), how he deals with what he's done every single day, and how the friend that survived (best friend and roommate) refuses to ever speak to him. I was thisclose to walking out to go cry in the bathroom.


We had two more orientation meetings and by 3:30, I was finished! Hallelujah! I headed back to the dorm and just hung out for a little while. It feels nice to just unwind. I now have like 8 websites to periodically check for Penn State after the IT orientation. Yay. Now, I'm just preparing myself for tomorrow. Maybe I should get cracking on my Calculus review. Chemistry seems kind of review-y so far, too. Hm, here's to hoping it won't be as hard as it seems!
P.S. Krystin and I are indeed becoming fast friends. Went over to her room to keep her company tonight since her roomie was MIA yet again and brought juice boxes. I felt like I was six again.
