Of course I did a count down to see today...that won't really surprise anyone who knows me and my fixation on having countdowns for everything. :P
So...yesterday started out on a good note and ended on a bad note. Today was the opposite. I am so incredibly glad that I saved that pack of fruit snacks from last night for breakfast...I would have saved everything from my goodie bag if I would have known how today was going to go. I woke up this morning and ate the fruit snacks and drank some water from my Excedrin cup and also chatted with Kay since it was midnight for her when I woke up and she was still awake (fyi...anyone who has texting and wants to chat I can...all you have to do is text my email address, audra.mcdaniel@email.wsu.edu, and I can reply to the message and it will go to you as a text...pretty nifty if you ask me!) and that was about my whole morning.
I found out that there was a small grocery store type thing right next to my building and so I went in there to buy some food for myself for a little more breakfast and the rest of the day. I went through and found some different things and got up to the counter and the lady informed me that they don't take cards...only cash (I still have no cash at this point). So, I asked her where the campus bank is and she told me directions and I headed that way, I can't open a bank account until I register for classes but I could still change over the traveler's checks I have to pounds and go buy those groceries. So I walked up campus to the bank to find that it isn't open on Monday's. No food for me. I got excited at one point when I remembered you could order pizza online (as I don't have a phone yet either)...but then when I started to and got to the part where you still have to put in a phone number for them to call you when they get there I realized that wasn't going to work either. At this point it was around 3 o'clock and I was very frustrated and very hungry. And then I met my flat mates.
First one I met was a girl named Jessi. She is in the room right next to me and is from North Carolina and has a fun southern accent. (Even though I'm living with people from the states...I still get to here an accent of a sort tee hee). We talked for a bit and she is very nice. She has a cell phone and so we ordered a pizza together and shared it. YAY FOOD! :) I also have two other flat mates. Rachel is from New Jersey and Renee is from Texas, we all seem to get along pretty well having just met each other and they all seem to be very nice. More travel plans starting with them for the prospects of Spain and Italy as some chosen destinations. We also came up with the plan to have at least one night a week that we have dinner together in our kitchen that we all help make. :)
Tomorrow is my first day of orientation at the university. The international program at the university is putting on the orientation for all the international students to help us get to know campus and eachother. My flat mates and I are going to head to it together in the morning. It starts at 9:45 and right now it's one in the morning so I better get to bed!
