day 78

i'm sitting in my dorm playing connect four on my roommate's bed. yes we are playing the physical version of connect four. i haven't touched a physical version of the game in so long.

this morning, i had went on a bus tour that i had rsvped for weeks in advanced. the bus that picked us up was the typical red double decker bus. it was my first time on a bus like that even though i have lived here all my life. the weather was perfect but i felt a little hot. i met some new people and a girl on tumblr that i followed. it was nice. but it was a little too long.

basically nothing else happened. besides that. then i just hung out with the guys as usual.

day 77

man, i forgot to blog yesterday.
yesterday was convocation. it was very interesting to say the least.
there were the traditional bagpipes at the convocation. five bagpipe players.
and i played mario party till like midnight, and then lost.
and my roommate moved in!

day 76

i got to explore a little bit of the poly campus today with g. i'm thankful he's around to show me places.
today i got to see a familiar face. j came to visit me in my dorm (: we went to five guys to eat lunch! it was the first time i had five guys. i heard a lot of good things about five guys but my expectations were killed. the placed allowed you to put whatever you wanted on the burger but even then the burger was messy and it tasted like every other burger i've had. the fries were made from real potatoes too so i wasn't really enjoying it.

but afterwards, j and i took a walk and walked the brooklyn bridge! it was the first time i set foot on the brooklyn bridge by walking. i've seen it in movies and drove on it in a car but never walked on it by foot! it was amazing. i remember seeing a documentary about it in architecture. a lot of hard work was put into this fantastic, famous landmark.

and then we were both tired and went back into my dorm room and cuddled.
during that time, my suitemate moved in :D she seems really nice. shy, but nice. but that was me on my first day. i just have to let her break in a little.

in general, the day was just a good day.
tomorrow starts my official day convocation. hopefully it turns out well!
till tomorrow
xx

day 75

a few more days until this blog is completely shut down. as of right now, i'm sitting in my dorm. it's lonely in my dorm but that's okay. i needed the alone time.
i had a really nice day today. i spent most of the time with my dormmates, t and s. first i hung out with t and played mario party. i won, with six stars. :D and then afterwards, s came and then we all went out to get lunch. we had lunch at a place called concord market. i was expecting a market but in actuality, it was a deli. i had a monte cristo panini. it was so good. and it came with an iced tea and chips. classy. let's just say i had that.. hmm. about six hours ago? and i'm still satisfied for my belly. i'll probably have to order some late night food later tonight for dinner though.
and then later, we just hung out in t's room. and then a came and just sat and hang until i decided to come back into my room.
a lot of the things here is very self service.
when i came back into my room, t told me how to open the lock on my room. you had to go on the internet to find the access code. very self service indeed.
as of right now, i don't really miss my family and friends that much. i feel very open and i'm liking the new experiences. i feel very welcomed here and i've already made pretty fantastic buddies.
well i think i'm going to shower now, or something. or find something to do. like read. till tomorrow
xx

day 74

today was my first day of moving in. and i'm sitting here playing monopoly star edition with some people i met. today it was rainy but that's okay. the move wasn't that bad. i was the first one in my dorm. it was nice. i don't know these people yet but it was easy so far. of course i'm hanging out with the boys.
so yeah im going to get back to this game.
bye!!

day 73

and alas, here it is, my last night in nhp.
i spent it with j. we went to dave and busters and got a lot of tickets. and surprisingly, i had a lot of good luck on my side today. and won a lot. good chances.
i believe in good luck. a lot.
it's surreal. as my luggage is sitting across the room from me. i've never been away from home, alone, ever. it'll be an adventure. and especially with this hurricane coming. it's supposed to be a really big one. or from what everyone makes it out to be. we've already been placed under warnings and such. the only thing that scares me is food because i have no idea what i'm going to do without it. especially when i don't have a kitchen. i guess i'm going to have to go to the bank tomorrow to get some extra cash out.
i hope everything goes well this weekend. a little power outage would be nice but not for long. i hope everyone is safe and that nothing gets flooded and crazy. heck, i hope i'm okay. i'm so near the shoreline.
well i should be heading off. getting some rest. (even though i probably won't be getting some rest)
hopefully there will be enough wifi and internet for me tomorrow, bye!

day 72

as i sit here wiping away my tears, s, h, r, and j are all heading off to college tomorrow.
it breaks my heart.
and i cried so many tears today. even though i know i'll see them again. it's just knowing that they're not just down the block from me anymore.
i just had nyquil, i'm not tired yet.
even though i should go to bed.
ill miss you guys.
please don't forget me.
please.
