Saturdays

I have discovered that early Saturday mornings are the best time to study in the dorm. Any time before about 10:30am almost everyone is still sleeping and those that are not aren't making much noise. By 11ish (now) there are people playing music and talking and such, but earlier it was nice and quiet. I think I will remember to take advantage of this a lot this year.

Last night I went to the first night of sorority recruitment. It is a five day process that continues tonight- Tuesday night when you are accepted into a sorority. The process here is extremely inclusive and nothing like the "rushing" you see in movies or might expect of other schools. It's more about mutual selection where the girls, after four nights rank their top two and almost always get into one of those two.

Today's plans include: going to lunch with some of the other girls going through recruitment, Dad and Shea coming up to visit (they already left Phoenix), getting my bike fixed because the front tire is still bent, going to the post office at some point in case I have mail, studying if I can find more time, going to dinner with Dad and Shea, and then going to the second night of recruitment. Tomorrow is pretty much study and recruitment and probably church in the morning considering recruitment is right when church would be and that's about it. Thankfully, Monday is a holiday so any school work leftover from the weekend can be finished up then.

And now I'm going to finish my tea (having a Starbucks close by is nice sometimes because I don't really like making tea from tap water here in the room) and get ready for the rest of the day. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. I haven't really had time to take any pictures or anything, but if I do, I'll be sure to post some of them. Mostly I figure there's not really anything to take pictures of in class, which is most of what I've been up to.
